Proud parents and Jordan

Jordan called after he arrived in Chicago from the USO office.  The conversation was light and he was able to talk for a few minutes.
Once he arrived at the base, he called and shared a very scripted message, "I have arrived at my destination.  You will receive a package from me a about two weeks.  I will be writing a letter with the address to write me back. Goodbye."



Both Lavoy and I shared that we had basic training dreams last night.  We are quite excited for Jordan and know he is in God's will.
