Son's Graduation and Promotion and Cranium

My son Caleb graduated from the Recruit Sustainment Program yesterday.  He was also one of three soldiers who were promoted one level.  I'm so proud of him!  He was approached by an officer yesterday regarding the possibility of flying black hawk helicopters and plans to meet with the recruiter sometime within the next week.  He has two weeks off and then has his regular monthly weekend drill, followed within days by his two week annual training exercises on the Big Island.  I have no doubt he will do well!

After his ceremony, we all headed to Bellows beach.  We had lunch in the picnic area and then I sat on a bench in the shade while the kids all went swimming.  I have posted some pictures with this entry.  I was supposed to go to the bone doctor today, but after yesterdays events my body was just too exhausted and I needed to rest.  So, I rescheduled for Wednesday, which was no problem with the doctor's office so it worked out great.

Tonight, after doing some more packing and sorting through paperwork in my bedroom, we all headed to my sister's house to play Cranium!  What a great game!  If you like charades, drawing, and singing, I highly recommend this game.  Tonight was the first time I have been to my sister's house since my traumatic fall, but I did well.  Nighttime is still very challenging for me as far as my balance and depth perception.  I am very off balance at night.  It didn't matter if it was the stairs in my apartment building or the stairs in my sister's house, the depth perception made it very difficult to walk down the stairs.  It was as though they were "flat," yet I knew they couldn't be because they are stairs.  A tricky situation for sure, but I took it very very slowly and made it down them each time OK.

I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow and need to get to bed.  Enjoy the pictures!  Thanks for stopping by,
Kelli
