Yesterday was a pretty sad day for us here. Kyle, Zoeâ??s 19 year old big brother, left to join the Air Force. We took him to the processing station on Monday and then to a hotel where he was gonna stay until yesterday when he flew out to Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio Texas. Momma is taking it pretty hard, as is to be expected. After all, Kyle is her first born and now he is out of the house. She found an information page on the Air Forceâ??s web site that shows the basic training progression of each newly enlisted airman on a week by week basis. I think this will be a good site for her.

To make matters worse, last night was also Mommaâ??s last day at work. She quit her law enforcement job after 8 years to go back to nursing. Now she can work less hours (10 shifts a month max), make the same pay, and spend more time with Zoe. She has been working full time since she was 18 and deserves a bit of a break. When her two boys were young, she worked and went to nursing school and had to rely on daycare, which we are avoiding at all costs with Zoe. Its gonna be good for all of us.

We wish Kyle the best of luck in his new career!
