My Apologies for the Late Update

It has been a little hectic out here in Tejas.  I have had back-to-back exams and essays and finals coming up and my brain is about to explode...
Rey took a corporal's course for the past 3 weeks or so.  He basically played real, really motivated, marine, and learned how to sword drill.  Which is WAY cool, and you know it!!
He was able to switch with someone to main body, which is wonderful.  Now he will have a direct route back to me, instead of hitting like 4 stops, 1 day each...
We still aren't for certain when he is coming home, but it should be within the next couple of weeks, hopefully before Christmas!!
I will try to keep everything updated...
