The alarm went of at 3 a.m. and we took Jonathan and another Gustavus junior to the airport. Jonathan is going to spend the fall semester in the rain forest jungles of Costa Rica studying the biology there. We won't be seeing him again until December.
At noon Sargent Sargent (no kidding) arrived at our house to pick up Peter and drive him to Fargo. There he will, in the morning, take a plane to Fort Sill, Oklahoma for 2 1/2 months of boot camp. He will remain there for another 2 months of specialized training in surveying and weather analysis. We don't know when we will see him next. His only contact with the outside world will be through the post office - once we are given an address. . .which may not be for a week or two.
It is suddenly very quiet at our house. Josie's passing has reminded us that each moment of life is a gift and nothing should be taken for granted. A prayer or two for the safety of our boys would be appreciated.
Jonathan is going to try and maintain a blog with photos of his adventure. We'll get you that site as soon as we get it. And Peter's address at boot camp too.
