A March Update

Hello All,

We are sorry that we haven't updated the blog in a while, but it has been a while, and we have some new information to update everyone on.

Stryker is doing well, we took him in to the vetinary office after a month of having him on his kidney diet, and he is doing well. It looks like the IV and the diet did well. We (and our vet) are very happy!

Jesse started IBOLC and seems to be doing well. The cadre seems to be very nice, and I have already made it to an event and a social with the other IBOLC wives and battalion commander's wife.

This past week Jesse got his orders for Italy. I know that I haven't really updated the blog lately with the latest information but now he's set to go to Italy with 173rd Airborne. If things go well with Ranger school, we should be set!

And Ranger school.... We think Jesse should be making the July 27th date. All of the Infantry officers have to go through both Airborne and Ranger school. For those who don't know what is involved in Ranger school... It is a 9 week course with 3 phases, 3 weeks for each phase. First phase is Darby, which is here on Ft. Benning. Second is mountain, which is in northern Georgia. Third is swamp phase, which is down in Florida. The school is both physically and mentally draining, but it's nothing that he can't handle!

Other than that, I believe that is what is all that is new with us! We will try and write again soon!
