Feb. 26, 2008 - Day to Day Stuff

So, we've been mustering through the school year, adjusting to hubby being home and embracing a new job....a job different than the one he had before he was deployed.  It's a commute, but it's a job.

Now, the oldest, a home school graduate from 2005 is heading off to Basic Training for the Army National Guard.  Eventually his schooling will lead to Warrant Officer school and helicopter pilot school.  The next two years are basically spoken for.  When that is all done, if he doesn't get deployed, he'll start college. 

The cool thing is that he has spent the last almost three years trying one vocation that he thought he'd like to do for his career.  He worked from home and gave it a try.  By the fall he had decided that web design best be left as a hobby, not a career.  So, on to the thing he has wanted to do since he was in 3rd grade....Fly!! 

This is exciting!  We couldn't give him college money, but we could give him a place to live and work to try to make the idea of a web design business work.  He was self taught and has a great grasp of the trade....just learned that being a business man isn't for him at this stage of his life!  I am so glad he had that opportunity to try a dream.  I'm so glad it failed now rather than later with a family and a house counting on him!
