An Oath....

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." -Those are the words my husband spoke at 12:30pm yesterday, June 19, 2009. He is a soldier.

What a time it has been for our family the last couple of days. On June 17th Chandler decided that being in the Army Reserves is what he definately wants to do, so he went to the recruiters office and took their tests. On the 18th we went to the recruiters office to pick a MOS (Job) and were told that Chandler would be shipped out to Basic Training on June 30th (13 days later). On the 19th Chandler went and took his physical and was sworn into the Army Reserves. It all has happened so fast, yet I have a good feeling about it all. Chandler will be gone from the 30th of June until just before Thanksgiving, and Yes I will miss him, but it all will be worth it in the end. I Love, Respect, and Admire him for making this decision.
