So this is a funny story about understanding language. CJ was looking at a wedding photo of Jennifer and Andy who got married in June. She commented on the pretty dress and said she wanted one. Eric told her she could have one in 20-25yrs. He then explained that Jen and Andy got married, and that Mommy and Daddy are married. CJ broke into a long "noooooo" and sobs. Between the tears she would say "no married, no married". Despite Eric's best attempts at explaining that this is a good thing, she cried and said "no" whenever he mentioned married.
Today at church, for the children's sermon we had fireworks...well kinda. He gave the kids and the extra to the congregation bubble wrap, then talked a comparison of July 4th and our freedom from England and Paul's letter explaining our freedom in Christ. Every time he said Free or freedom, they popped the bubble wrap. It was really cool to hear...but he also told them to save some bubbles and to pop them whenever they felt like the rest of the service. So CJ was popping away, twisting the bubbles, and about 2mins into the service discovered jumping on them! "look mommy, I jump!" --not in a quiet church voice. At least we weren't the only distraction in church today. The pastor handed some out!
This week Eric's class was given the top 5 reasons people either fail or drop out of the program here at Whiting:
1. Married
2. Have kids
3. Prior enlisted
4. Non-technical degree
5. Aged 26-30
Wow, did you imagine that he could hit everyone of those "reasons"? It seems to have lit a fire under him and he is already studying for class that begins next week. He is excited to get back into the air so I have no fear of him dropping out or failing. He was worked too hard for too long to get to this point, to let anything get in his way of his dream of flying.
