From This to THIS

Yesterday was quit a day for our family. This is the beginning product of the U.S. Army in Bubba's life. Several weeks ago I took the picture of him & his brother, Brandon, in Detroit as Bubba joined the Army and yesterday was the day he finished and graduated from boot camp.

I have to tell you when I first got the picture I didn't recognize him (the picture came through on my computer at work and wasn't as good as on my computer at home). My boy lost 23 lb. and I don't know if I have ever seen him stand so tall!!!

Robert and I didn't get to go to the graduation but Terrilynn, Heith and Brandon was able to go and represent the family. Bubba was surprised because he thought only Brandon was showing up. It was a great surprise for him and the four of them got to spend some great time together, I know because I was calling several times a day and every time I did they were laughing and cutting up. Bubba will be going on to jump school in July and our prayers are that we can go to graduation for that.

Bubba know that mom and dad are so very proud of you and have you in our prayers constantly!!!

I Timothy 4:12 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct , in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

I Timothy 6:20 O Timothy (Bubba)! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions for what is falsely called knowledge--(21) by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen

Love MOM and DAD
