Sore

Cory called today. He only had ten minutes to talk. He said he is pretty much hating life right now. He misses home and good Idaho potatoes. The food is different from reception, and he isn't liking it much. He said there are a lot of kids there who don't take it seriously, so they are in trouble a lot. He said he pretty much rolls out of bed into a push-up position. He is really sore from all the push-ups. He said they were low on laundry soap so they had to share and do a few loads together and he had a pair of pants stolen from him. On the brighter side, he said he was able to attend an LDS service today. The base has a senior mission couple and a few sister missionaries. He said they recorded him saying something and they will email it to me. He said he sent me another letter too. He wants letters from home so as soon as I get his return address I will post it so we can all send him letters. He said he is in the C 1-79 Battery and 1st Platoon. I have no idea what that means! ;)

Abby and I are staying at my parents now. I moved our stuff over here this weekend. Vicky and Shawn came and got Abby for me on Saturday so I could get a few things done without having to chase a 2 1/2 year old. Abby is adjusting really well. She loves grandma's house so that has been nice. She bosses all of us around. I took her to see the Hannah Montana movie and she loved it! She danced like a maniac in the isle. I start my next block of online classes tomorrow. I am taking English 102 and American Education 200. I am keeping busy with work as well. I am really grateful for all the help from family and friends. I know I've got a great support system and that is a comfort to me.

  1. I told him he was in for a rude awakening going from reception battalion to his basic training unit. He will be fine as he adjusts to the military way of life. As far as the push ups go, that is everday life in the Army. That is great news that he is attending LDS service. It has the distinction of lasting two hours, where other religious services only last one hour, so if nothing else it is a break from the military world.
