Man Scout and Nomads

Top 5 Reasons to go to Texas with Dave:
5. No cooking!
4. Being close to extended family that I don't get to see that often.
3. Experience a new place with lots of neat history.
1. No cleaning toilets!
I'm just kidding, that's not the #1 reason-didn't you notice I skipped #2? I can't believe you fell for that!
1. Get to be with Dave!!!

Top 5 Reasons I won't be going with Dave to Texas:
5. I like to torture myself by taking care of 2 little boys by myself for 45 days.
4. I'd rather clean toilets and cook.
3. Payson, Utah is much more exciting than San Antonio, Texas.
2. I like to be homeless for 2 months with 2 little boys.
1. The lovely Sargeant with whom we work misinformed us and families actually CAN'T go to officer training with their spouses!

Yep, it's true. As of June 6th, I and the boys will be homeless. Since we found out 2days ago about the little misinformation (is that a word?) we were given, it is too late to get my job back along with our apartment. We have already given our notice and they've already started the hiring process for our job, so there's no turning back. Nomads we will be.
Dave's getting excited to become a man scout. That is the name I've given him. The other night we were talking and he was reading through what he will be learning at Officer Training and I said to him, "It sounds like Boy Scouts but now you get to play with guns". And we all know that when you get to play with guns that is the sign of true manhood. Man scout he will be.

Brent is a man scout too! Just not in the army. I think they'll get along just fine. Good luck with being nomadic. I wish there is some way I could help you!
