Donnie was able to get a pass this afternoon, so the boys & I went on-post to spend the day with him. But first, we had a bit of running around to do... Donnie was elected Treasurer of his class yesterday and had some things he needed. We honestly would've followed him anywhere though! =)
After we ran around and had dinner, we took the boys to see 'A Christmas Carol'... the new 3D movie with Jim Carrey. It was really good, we loved it! The little boys got a BIG kick out of the silly glasses, it was so fun!!
It's amazing Donnie has only been in school for a week now, but is really embracing this new career path of his. The OCS Commander had pulled Donnie aside and recommended he do something other than infantry with the pins & screws in his back and shrapnel throughout his body... he says it will catch up to him at some point in his career and cause him a great deal of pain. So Donnie is considering all of his options, including possibly Military Intelligence. He asked me what I thought, and I told him I just want him to be happy... whatever he chooses I will stand by and support him. I know, with the Lord's guidance, he will definitely make the right decision!
After such an incredibly long and difficult week... this was absolutely the PERFECT way to end it! We can't wait to see him tomorrow!!!
