FINISHED!!!

This is Tyson at Los Tres Amigos on Cinco de Mayo.

This is Tori, Tyson's sister.

Tori and Catherine.

Jennifer and Ellie.

We all went to Los Tres Amigos on Cinco de Mayo while the guys were on their three week FTX and couldn't come out and play. These are my wonderful neighbors with their beautiful children. They are such a blessing to me.

Dave has finished BOLC II!!! Woohoo! Praise the good Lord. He has a four day weekend and then starts BOLC III or FAOBC on Tuesday. He will also be doing the Ranger PT every day. Normal PT is from 6 to 7 every morning and Ranger PT (which is optional...yes, he signed up for it) is from 5 to 7 every morning and is significantly harder. However, if he completes Ranger PT successfully over the course, he will be guaranteed a spot in Ranger school upon completion of BOLC III. Please pray the Lord continues to strengthen him and prepare him physically, mentally and spiritually for the challenges that lay ahead.

Jon has finished week two of Airborne: Tower Week. Next week is his third and final week of Airborne: Jump Week. Upon completion of 5 successful jumps, Jon will graduate next Friday. Praise the Lord for this miracle, as well. Please continue to pray the Lord blesses Jon's every step, especially his knees, ankles, health, etc.

I found my camera!!! Another praise the Lord. I know you are probably thinking how stupid of me to mention that, but I know the Lord cares about the little details of our lives, as well. =) Now I can go to Orlando on the family trip and not worry about missing pix.
Another praise: I think I may have found a job. It isn't the greatest job in the world, but it is better than flipping burgers. It would be working at a staffing agency placing people with jobs. The pay is half of what I was making in Birmingham, but as my Dad said, "Some money an hour is better than no money an hour." I have also submitted my resume and application to about 10 government jobs here on post. If I could get one of those and get my foot in the door, I would be able to transfer from post to post. That would be HUGE!!! And the pay is better than what I was making in Birmingham. We shall see.

Four months left until Hawaii!!! We are counting down!! Please come by and visit us. You can get GREAT flight deals from www.clarkhoward.com. I found a round trip ticket on Delta to Hawaii for $282.00!!! You just have to keep an eye out for the great deals. If officer housing is anything like it is here at Ft. Sill, then we will have plenty of space for you. =)

We are hoping to come home to AL at the end of September, first of October before we report to Hawaii. We will keep you updated. Thank you for your continued prayers, we feel them and greatly appreciate them. God bless you!
