In the Army now

Well, it's been over two months since Chris joined the Army and I have to admit it's still a little weird seeing him in his uniform everyday. Maybe it's the beret . . . I'm not sure what throws me. Carter and I have about two and a half more weeks here in Charlottesville with Chris and then we separate. Carter and I will fly back to Temecula and go visit family and mostly try to keep busy, and Chris will head to Georgia for six more weeks of training. Then we will be moving to our final destination (well final for two years) at the end of November. I'm looking forward to that:-)

Here's what Chris looks like when he leaves for class everyday. Carter doesn't get to go with him but it's not from lack of trying.



Chris has PT (physical training - believe me the Army loves their acronyms) every morning before he goes to class. Below is essentially what he looks like when he leaves for PT. I don't think he would let me take a picture and frankly I doubt I could pull myself together at 5am to get a good one so you'll just have to imagine that this is Chris. Oh and add in a bright plastic neon orange belt. It's pretty classy.

Here's his uniform for formal events:
And what could be better than suckers with daddy after lunch?
