The Phone Keeps Ringing

Well, this has been a great 3 days... we've heard from Paul 5 times! Amazing! With each conversation being only 10 minutes, we can't cover a lot of new subjects, but I thought I'd tell you the latest...
He had a few minutes yesterday to call and fill us in on their most recent physical fitness test. To pass they have to do 40 push ups, 50 sit ups and run 2 miles in less than 16 1/2 minutes. He was able to do 56 push ups, 57 sit ups and ran the 2 miles in 15 1/2 minutes! Our conversation kept getting interrupted because every time a drill sergeant passes by they have to stand at attention with their hands behind their back (hard to keep talking on the phone!) and stay quiet until the DS says, "Carry on", or something like that.
Time seems to be flying by now and soon we'll head to S.C. for graduation... I'm looking forward to having some new pictures to post. Have a blessed day and thanks for checking in.
