Then on Wednesday CJ and I celebrated his 26th birthday with home made Mexican food and a Great Peanut Butter Pie (thank you Katie Sorenson!)! We invited a couple we are good friends
with to share the delicious pie. CJ also received his present from his mom and dad, a knife and tool sharpener, which he really wanted (THE exact one). Thanks Mom and Dad for this!
Finally Friday the 7th CJ graduated power school. The Ceremony was great and the weather was perfect for the occasion. He looked great and I was able to get some great photos of him with his section and with Command Master Chief Coles. CJ finished number 85 out of 367 with a final GPA of 3.55. I am so proud of all he accomplished this last 6 months, it has been a hard and exhausting time for him, but he kept his head on straight and pushed through it.
What next? Well CJ will be on Graduation hold for some where between 4 to 12 months before starting his third and final training school. While waiting he will actually be working at the prototype school that he will be attending, doing grunt work. So needless to say we will be here for at least another year! So you want a vacation come see me!!
So our first week has been busy, now to rest and enjoy the beautiful weather!
