Trip to Kentucky


Kylee and I had a great trip visiting Jeremy in Kentucky and being there for his graduation from Basic training!!! We were able to take him off base for the weekend. It was so hard leaving him again, but he has 6 more weeks of AIT (advanced individual training) and then he gets to come home for a little while. It may be a week and it could be up to a month depending on what the Army decides... We found out that he will be stationed at Fort Stewart in Georgia for up to 6 months before he ships out for deployment in Iraq, but that seems to change everytime we get a letter. The one thing that I have learned about the Army is that you can expect them to change their mind at least 5 times before every step along the way!!! Jeremy looked great and he is so much different now. He lost 15 pounds in basic training and he didn't have 15 to lose. He is so respectful and grown up now. The next time I get to see him will be Oct. 2 when he has his graduation from AIT.
The other 3 kids are doing great, school start Monday and Nate is starting kindergarden. The summer flew by so fast, where does the time go???

He is not a baby any more!!!


Jeremiah Jordan Frost

Man he is all grown up now!!! Can't believe that this is that chubby little baby that I used to cuddle and rock for hours at a time.
I have gotten to speak to him 2 times for less than 5 minutes each time over the last 2 months. He left here on June 9Th. I get letters from him weekly and he seems to be fitting in pretty well. I get to go and see him this week in Kentucky. I have never been to Kentucky before, Jeremy's girlfriend (Kylee) and I are flying out on Thursday morning and we get to stay till Monday. He gets to leave the base with us for the weekend. I am so ready to get on that plane... I am taking his platoon 36 dozen cookies, a dozen for each member of the platoon. I am still not sure how I am going to get them on American Airlines without it costing an arm and a leg, but I am going to get it done!!! I will have to get lots of pictures while I am there, and share them with you guyes. well things are still busy around here, I lost two patients over the weekend. That is another reason I want to get away.
