Let the Adventure Begin

The last few days have been up and down for us. Tuesday, we left to go to Omaha. Leaving the house was harder than we thought it would be. It is Allen's last piece of normalcy, and when we left it, everything was unknown. Plus, we will never be a family in our house again. We will hopefully get it sold soon, so the next home we will be in together as a family is out there - somewhere - far from here. That in itself is scarey. Not necessarily bad, just unknown. Tuesday we went to Bellevue to get Allen's transcripts. This has been a loooong process, but Allen is now a college grad. Yea! He entered the Army as an E4. We then went to the hotel and hung out. Allen fell asleep before Cael did. He was pretty exhausted, and he had to be on the shuttle to MEPS at 5:20am. We went to MEPS the next morning and got to see Allen's oath ceremony. Pretty cool. Then he was put on another shuttle to the airport. His flight was at 5:15pm, and it was only 10ish am. We had a long day at the airport, but we were all together, so it was good. We did a lot of people watching, and Cael even got a nap. We left Allen at the security gate at 4:30. He texted me a few times on the bus after he got to St. Louis, but he wanted to sleep as much as he could before he got to Ft. LW. I didn't blame him. I got a 5 second call at 11:11pm telling me he got there safely and he loves us. He's where he needs to be. That's all I know for now. Thanks for all of your prayers!
