Nathan just found out this morning that a spot opened up for the June 8 convening of BM "A" School and he was next on the list...so he's going to Virginia next week! I can't believe it. He was on the list for the August convening, but since the course is 12 weeks long, he wouldn't be graduating until late October. He wanted to take the course all through the summer...kind of repeating his cadet summer training experience, and now he gets to!
Of course this changes all sorts of plans. Namely, at this point in time Nathan will be driving across country by himself instead of with Grandpa Lee. But I contacted a good friend from cadets, Tom Bennett, and asked if he was interested in driving with Nathan. He thought it sounded like a great time, and is in the process right now of trying to get a week off of work. I will feel so much better knowing that Nathan will be able to share the driving, plus it will be such a great experience for him to spend a week with a good buddy.
It's amazing when I look back at the past two weeks, how everything has fallen into place for Nathan. You can see the Lord's hand directing and making things work out. God knew when Nathan was leaving for A school, and He made sure that Nathan had his truck by then, got it registered, paved the way for his replacing his side-view mirrors so that he could carry the canopy, which he will need for that trip! Nathan does have a lot of loose ends to tie up in the next week, but the major things are already taken care of.
God is good. All the time.

This is great news for Nathan! I know that he is anxious to get going on his CG career, and have opportunities to get promoted and progress. And I know that he's ready for a permanent base, too.
And thanks to Uncle Gary for fixing Nathan's mirrors - that was really nice!!
Keep us posted as to Tom's availability.
Love you!

Hey! Good to talk to you this morning. Good for you to send the blessings up to the right place. I need to do a little more of that these days and a little less worrying and trying to make it all work out myself. I won't talk to you again until after the big day. I'll be praying though. Love you.
