One Step Closer (July 9, 2006)

On Thursday, I made it one step closer to actual active duty. I turned in all of my final paperwork (via fax and the USPS) and was commissioned as a 1st Lt. in the Air Force Reserves. So, assuming all is going right, here's the schedule.

1. Ordination to the USAF Chaplain Corps at Southpoint Church, July 30, 11 o'clock.
2. Commissioned Officer's Training, Maxwell AFB, Alabama, begins August 14.
3. Graduate from COT on September 15.
4. Return to So. Md., take 10 days leave + travel time, and drive my family out to F.E. Warren AFB, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Our house is on the market, and 5 or 6 people looked at it yesterday, and 2 did today. In fact, our realtor (A.J. Dobson and his partner, Jan Barnes) said received a contract has already been received, but he hasn't seen it yet. If you want to see the listing and the "virtual tour," visit http://www.c21nm.com/findahome/virtual_tours.asp and put in Garrison in California.

Kayla is still out in CO with my sister, Melanie, and having a blast, she says. Mom has been out there, and said Kayla's been working hard and comes in at night and flops on the bed with a book! Sierra is being spoiled as the only child at home. She's enjoying it, but it's hard to get anything constructive done sometimes. I have a weak spot for 6 year olds, and she knows how to exploit that!

Had the awesome opportunity to preach today at Southpoint. It was a blast. I also get to preach next week. If you want to hear, go to www.southpoint4u.com, and look under "Resources" where you will find "Download messages."

Alright, more later!

Kraig, Jen, Kayla, and Sierra
