Boot Camp!

Well Brenton took off on July 21st for Marine Corps Boot Camp! I was able to spend the day with him before he took off on the exciting bus ride to MCRD, San Diego. Brenton was full of smiles and excitement and I couldn't help but smile and feel happiness for him. Some people find it odd that I am doing okay. But in reality, I am so happy right now because I know Brenton is doing something he feels so strongly about. I am so proud of him and can't wait to see the man that he will become after this exciting and long stage in his life. I sit here on Sunday, July 27th, thinking of Brenton and hoping he made the right decision for himself. Did he go in fully understanding what he was doing and what to expect? I hope he is doing okay and taking each day one day at a time. I miss you dearly Brenton and I love you! Hurley says woof woof and he can't wait to snuggle with you! Mommy just isn't as comfy! haha....I will try to write on this more and keep everyone updated. I have not received any letters from Brenton yet, but as soon as I do and I get his address, I will let everyone know! Luv you all!
