A Bright Spot

Out of the clear blue sky, as I was watching television, the phone rang at 4:10 p.m. and it was Dominic! When I heard his voice for the second time in 41 days, my heart dropped! He sounds fantastic, seriously sounds more mature - if that's possible in 41 days.

Dominic said that he is doing so well now! Says that he still, of course, misses home, but he is very well adjusted to boot camp! From here on in, other than the remainder of the tests, things should be smooth sailing now until graduation! He says they do a lot of marching and drills and he enjoys this! He described his flag that his platoon made and he ordered all of our family t-shirts with the emblem on them. I never heard him so excited explaining everything in detail. He is looking so forward to graduation and spending time with the family. He was able to call Fred, Little Freddy and Keirstan - and reached everyone!!!!

He will be shipping right out after graduation to Mississippi on March 23rd, for "A" School. He will be there for eight weeks and then have a 15 day leave!!!!! Just in time for the shore!!!! I am ecstatic! He did say we can also go see him in Mississippi and stay at a hotel near the base. I am hoping to go out over Easter vacation - but I haven't even spoken to Fred yet - so we will see! HAPPINESS
