I haven't posted in a while and I won't be able to share any pictures at the moment, but I wanted to update you all on what's going on in our crazy busy lives! Since my last post,

Dad, Carolina, Aurora, and myself spent 2 weeks in Elizabeth City, North Carolina visiting with Aunt Catherine and Uncle Joe while Will was enduring Phase 1 of OCS (officer candidate school)

After that, we had a busy two weeks preparing him for the rest of the summer. Immediately upon returning from officer training(lots of sleep deprivation, physical exertion, and being yelled at) he had to return to his desk job :) All the while, continuing his physical training, packing all of his gear, and studying for his flight test. Yes, that's right... FLIGHT TEST!!!!

Well, the flight test that he's been studying for over the last two months was this morning and he aced it! He got a 143 out of a possible 150. Apparently, it's the highest score that they've seen in a while.... if not ever. Hopefully this really helps his chances of getting an aviation slot once he submits his packet. So, he's trying to become a helicopter pilot in the national guard :) Wish us luck and keep us in your prayers! Well, I'm finding myself very excited and proud of his superb test taking abilities, but also quite sad because he left today for phase 2 and 3 of OCS in Alabama. He'll be gone for the next 6 weeks or so.... but once he returns, he'll be a 2nd Lt. WOOOHOOO!!!! It's been a long road but it's been worth every second and every bump that has brought us here!!! I'll post again soon and keep you all updated on what the girls and I have planned for the summer..... i think we'll spend the majority of the time at Mom's....feel free to contact me and lets get together... I'm looking for ways to stay busy while Will is away
