Update

Just wanted to give a little update on our family. Kevin has been gone for about four weeks now. He wanted me to let everyone know he is doing well and that he is enjoying basic training. He is assigned to be the "Chow Runner." This means he announces their flight at the dining hall so they can eat. He has alot of face time with the training instructors with this position. He said that makes most people nervous, but he doesn't mind. I have been getting regular letters for the last week and that has helped. Kevin will graduate the last week of February and then off to his technical training. We are still trying to get our house rented so that the kids and I can move with Kevin as soon as he is done with basic training. Not much new with me, still working. The kids are doing pretty well. The weather has been warmer here. We actually had rain the past two days instead of snow, which melted alot of the ugly dirty snow that was left. We are surviving so far without Kevin. Only 35 days left!

Kevin's address

Kevin called last night. The phone call that I wasn't supposed to expect for weeks came unsually early. I am guessing they may have allowed it early because of New Year's Eve. I almost missed his phone call. My mom and I were at dinner, and I kept thinking that I wouldn't be able to hear my phone. Then I thought who is going to call me? Just as we were getting ready to leave, I was pulling all of the coats off my purse and it was ringing. The first thing I hear as I am saying hello is "I've arrived and I am fine." Then he said get ready to write down this address. He starts telling me this crazy address as I am trying to hear over the restaurant commotion and Ryan yelling. Anyway, just in case anybody wanted it here is his address:
AB Amberson Kevin W
331 TRS/FLT 197 Dorm A-3
PSC #3-1320 Truemper St.
Unit 369535
