I just want to say Thank you for all the prayers for my Daddy! He had open heart surgery 5 bypasses done and is doing remarkable. I got to go spend a week with him the end of march after the surgery!!
My Ben didn't end up going to ranger school! They over filled the class and he got admin dropped and is going back on May 17th! Hopefully he will go through straight in 61 days so he will graduate July 17th, right before his 23rd birthday!! Crazy right!? I cant believe it! Then after he gets back from Ranger school the Army will likely send us straight to Germany. He may have to go to Stryker course first but we will see! We should have some leave time to visit our families before we ship out! We found out that our two puppies will cost 1,100 dollars to send them with us on the plane. I guess we love Skylee and Sammy a lot... haha! God is great and will provide! He has already abundantly in our lives! The awesome part about Ben not going to Ranger school back in March was that he was here for our anniversary on April 5!! It was great. We had friends over the night before to have a barbecue and we danced into our anniversary! I cant believe its now been over a year that we have been married!
I got a job at the child care center on post! Since its run by the department of Defense it takes a while to be hired so I haven't actually started working yet! They had to do my security clearance and physicals! I hope to get to start working soon so we can tackle these student loans!! Yay! I also am so excited to work with kids! It should be great and keep me busy while Ben is at Ranger school! Also, getting a job with the government will help me now at all posts because I will have been cleared already by the Department of Defense and gives me a better chance to find work on all the Army posts we will go to! I love PWOC which is the bible study here on post. The women I have met are so amazing, We have studied how to have a spirit more like Mary! I have learned alot about being an Army wife and I love it! The community here on post is so close. I feel like I am surrounded by my sisters! I miss Ben when he goes to do training but I feel so blessed to have a husband serve our country, train all day and sometimes nights not only for me but for everyone in the USA! He is such a great man and I am so glad to call him mine!
Well, Ben during his time not in Ranger school was able to go to Air Assault school. He graduated from there so now he is Airborne and Air assault qualified! Now he is working with a basic training unit at Sand hill. His schedule ahsnt been to busy lately so we have been enjoying this time together and the GA weather! Last weekend Ben and I were able to go to Columbia where we saw some friends! It was awesome to visit our Alma Mater! USC Gamecocks!! On Sunday at Lake Murray My Ben ran his first triathalon, it was called a sprint triathlon and he did so great!! I loved watching him and cheering him on, I started running again and maybe I can do it next time :) I got to talk with alot of people there I didn't know but I love talking to people so it was great! It alos was very inspirational being there seeing people push themselves and being so supportive of each other! It was truly a great experience and a great weekend the Ben and I got to spend some time together!
Skylee got spayed yesterday poor girl, I cant believe she is already 4 1/2 months old!
and Sammy I think is enjoying her being all drugged up and tired. He gets a break from puppy teeth biting at him all day! 
Yesterday and today I played racket ball with my great friend Myra and Melissa, some awesome Army wives here! We had a blast...and tonight since Ben will be out in the field I will be seeing my friend Monica who is expecting a baby girl Mary Clare Kennedy! I cant wait till May 16th I am throwing her and Jenna Hulst who is also having a baby girl baby showers!! Keep them and their babies in your prayers! as well as Ben and I as we get ready for Ranger School starting again! Hope you enjoyed the little catch up on our lives! We would love to hear from all! Write us or email us!!With love!
