Well, we have heard from Manuel in San Diego. He seems to be in his element. He wrote a short note on the form letter they give the recruits, so mom gets at least one from them. He was excited about getting his rifle and they were going to start MCMAPS the next day. Whatever that is. Anyway, he seems to be happy for the time being. His graduation date is August 28 and we are looking forward to the trip there to see him.

On other fronts, Kris and Jay will deliver Ryan Layne on Thursday the 18th. So we and she are looking forward to the blessed event. Not that Jay isn't looking forward to it, I just think Kris is more than him.

Things here at the house in ABQ are the same. Still waiting for God to send the buyer and in the mean time, we are doing some repairs. I'm trying very hard not to be discouraged by the two failed offers, and remembering that God is in control. We will be heading out to TX in the next couple of weeks to see the newest Sommers addition and to look at properties. Hope to spend some time with friends and family while there.
