Ben the Soldier

Dress blues and BC's (also known as birth control glasses)

Chad arrived in Georgia on Tuesday night and was able to spend all day yesterday with Ben.  I am a tad bit (Ok a LOT) jealous of this!  It stinks that I have to work this week -- I can't wait until Friday when I will get to see him.  Two and a half months doesn't seem like that long of a time, but I have never gone that long without seeing Ben before.  It is really hard to be a mom when your kids are growing up.  As much as we fussed and fought he is still my baby.  I miss having him here everyday.  It is so hard for me to believe that the time has come for him to be out on his own.  I am terribly proud of him and the decisions that he is making.  His is a great kid who is developing into an awesome man.  Love you Ben!!
