MN & Grandma

Last week I got the opportunity to go to MN with my parents. Since Doug is joining the army, I don't know how many more easy trips there to see my grandma I can get. Since we were there, she broke her hip and is now refusing food and meds, so I thought I would jot down what I remember she told me when we were there. I wish her thought processes were finished when she talked to us, but she would start a sentence and not be able to finish.

She knew who my parents were and talked with us with recognition. She knew I was a granddaughter, but I'm pretty sure she didn't know which one. She called me cute and complemented my hair. "I don't remember you being so tall."

I looked through a stack of photos with her. All of them of her new great-grandson Jack. She kept talking about how she loved little ones and how they're so cute.

Though she wasn't really sure where she was, she could still point North. :)

The last two times we were there, she was singing.

Laura Jordan, Army Wife

On Tuesday of this week, that would be June 7th, Doug took his oath to join the United State Army. After much worry, he has been officially selected for Army OCS (Officer Candidate School). He will head to Basic Training in early October of this year, and will Hopefully finish OCS in April. Then we will find out what branch he will have.

It's a waiting game now.
HOOAH!?
