Hey Everyone! I have been so out of touch everywhere with all this strange ridiculous weather and living in three places and worrying about 2 sons away and , , ,
So, here's my update for the last 6 months. Bink made E4 on Nov 5th. Pretty much missed his Aschool grad as he was mad at me and "forgot" to tell me where to go and when to be there. Fortunately, I figured it out and defeated his evil intent. I mean, give me a break. When I spend almost 1000 bucks to bring his dad, his sister and me to see it, I expect to see it!
He is still in Goose Creek and finishes power school on June 17. He is hoping to go to Ballston Spa NY for Prototype since it is closer to our old Northern Home. Hopefully, I will be able to go there and stay for good IF stupid Bank of America ever lets me get rid of my albatross of a house here.
He is supposed to be testing for E5 sometime soon. That would be such a slap in the face if he makes E5 in less than a year! It took me 4 years before I got to put those stripes on!
Now the unexpected news. His affair with the computer and the PS3 is over. He originally planned to get married this past weekend but fortunately changed his mind. They think they shall wait until they finish power school and get married during their wait time for prototype to start. And yes, she glows too. I thought it ironic that Alex stayed in the family business since I was a Nuke AF Officer but now he says he's going to marry a Nuke so someday, my grandkids (that better be a real long time!) will emit radiation naturally too!
It's all just tooo much!
hugs to you all. Ready for Spring Break and my visit to Charleston to meet the new lady in my Binker's life. (small sob)
