Bubba Graduates!

One good thing about Mitch always having to travel is the perks... Frequent Flyer Miles!  We were able to dip into my stash of miles... ( I say my stash, because these miles that we have collected have big plans of taking us to Europe next Summer )  Anyway, we cashed some in on two round trip tickets to Atlanta Georgia!  We then got a car and drove down to Fort Benning.  We were so happy to have the chance to get to see Bubba graduate from boot camp!  He lost 25 pounds, but somehow looks bigger!  We met up with his parents and also got to meet Bubba's Stake President who had only positive things to say about him.  In short, they love him a lot!

The ceremony was amazing.  All the gun fire and smoke bombs, really made you feel how real the war is.  I have always been a very patriotic person.  My favorite subject in school was American History of any kind...  Being there around all those boys could bring tears to your eye's thinking about all the sacrifice that has gone on before us so that we can enjoy the freedoms we do.  As members of the Church of Jesus Christ it's also moving to think about this free land that we have been so blessed to live in... There was a plan, and watching it unfold is amazing to me.  Bubba is now apart of something huge!  Bigger than I think we realize when we think about our military.  I am so proud to be an American, and today and everyday, so proud to have a Man like Bubba in our family and apart of our lives.  We love you Bubba!  Stay Safe!
