Going Back 1st Class

We dropped Caleb off at the airport about 5:30 A.M. and he was wearing his army uniform. It was impossible for me to say good-bye without tears flowing. About an hour after we dropped him off, he texted us to let us know that his ticket was upgraded to first class at no cost. He was excited about that but he said he slept the entire flight. Wearing a uniform does have its advantages.
His flight out of Dallas left late, however, so he missed his connecting flight from Charlotte to NewPort News, VA. He was put on the standby list for the 2:30 flight and fortunately he was able to get on that flight. He arrived in Virginia around 4:00 and said that he didn't have to check-in at the base until tomorrow morning so he is staying the night at Motel 6 with some other privates which is a good thing because it will give him time to get a much needed haircut before his superiors see him tomorrow.

We had a great time visiting with Caleb over the Christmas holiday and we were amazed how fast he fell into his old schedule. Almost every night he went out with his friends and then slept in the next day. I did convince him to go jogging with me one day but that is the only day he exercised. He may be hurting a little bit this next week as he gets re-adjusted to his army schedule.

I'll post his new address as soon as he sends it to me. Please continue to pray for him while he is away.

Thanks!
