Paul's Blue Cord Ceremony!

Finally! Paul's big day has arrived. I am so proud of Paul for going through this rough course. It was an honor to place his blue cord on his shoulder for the first time. I want to thank our Heavenly Father for helping us through the last six months. I am so grateful that we were able to see each other once a month and I know that was through the will of the Lord. That sure did help pass the months. I am also grateful for the Lord's protection of our home and doggies while Paul has been away. It is through the Lord that we both found the strength and comfort to continue through the past six months. Sure some days went by faster than others. Now, Paul is in Airborne School for three weeks. He will be done on May 15th and will be on his way home!
