I couldn't be more proud of Jared. He did so well at Basic Training. I went last week to see him graduate. I missed him so much and was so excited to see him after so long. He looked so handsome in his uniform. The first day was family day where we got to see some demonstrations of what the guys have been going through in training and how far they have come. After that I got to sign Jared out on pass and we went to a movie and ate together. I brought him back to base that night and got to see him again the next morning for graduation. The ceremony was very nice. I teared up with pride. We went over to the Fort Sill artillery museum then we had a nice lunch and walked the mall in Lawton. He had to be back early that day because soldiers began shipping out to there AIT training. Jared and I had a few more hours together at the airport before he left for Fort Lee, Virginia. I had a really hard time watching him get on the plane to leave. The airline boarded Military first and the crowd of people cheered for them as the boarded. I cried. I know he will continue to do well in his training and I am looking forward to the day he comes home!
