Today my little brother left for boot camp.....

I bet he will be doing lots of these.....

I can't believe my brother is left for boot camp today!!! He joined the National Guard on his 17th birthday ( - I was surprised to learn that one is able to join the Guard when one is ONLY 17!!) and has been drilling with his unit for the past six months. Luckily, there are 4 other people in his unit going to boot camp with him. I'm soooo very proud of him!! I cannot express how much he has grown (spirituality and mentally) in the past few years. I would so appreciate it if you all lifted him up in your prayers......and maybe his older sister (me) who is experiencing some pretty intense bittersweet emotions ;) Well, I will leave you with some pictures of my "little" brother

Hmmm....I guess he was in a serious mood.....so not like him - he's always smiling :)

Don't mind my Mom's yellow Bug in the background - lol! ;)
