Joshua's Home for a Visit!!

Yesterday I picked my oldest son up from the Military School he's been attending for the last two months. I was so good too....didn't cry a bit when I saw him in front of his friends & the other parents. Didn't embarrass him at all. lol When we got out to the car......I had my moment. Hugged him and just started bawling. He was so good about it too....hugged me back and said he'd missed me and such.
After I had my cry we went to I Hops. There were other families there too from the Military School. We sat with on of his friends & that boys family. They wanted to order everything on the menu! LOL They ordered a couple meals each & almost ate everything on their plates! Oh, & this is after they had a large french toast breakfast at the school before we picked them up. At one point while they were eating I told the boys to slow down and enjoy the taste of the food. At school they only have 6 minutes to eat & drink their entire meal! They were just shoveling it in!
We had a nice drive home. It was snowy on the pass like normal so we just chained up and enjoyed the drive home. It's amazing what Joshua's been doing for the last couple of months. He's really enjoying it. Says they work out so much he has no troubles sleeping. They had a 3am fire drill the other morning and Josh slept through it! LOL Luckily his bunk mate woke him up so he didn't get in trouble. lol He says they are always yelling at them and they have to be at their best all the time. He says after awhile you get used to the yelling and tune a lot of the noise out. lol He's really enjoying it. He just wishes he had a few more days home with the family. Today we are taking him to the movies & bowling.
I'm sure enjoying having my baby boy home. He's been gone from home this long before but he's always been with a phone so I can at least call and chat with him but at this school he's at the only way the boys can communicate with us is by letters. I enjoy getting the letters but sure do prefer the phone! lol
Joshua leaves to go back on Monday. That will be a hard day for me.
