Family Day and Graduation

Georgia…is sticky. For the entire duration of the trip I felt like I covered myself in soap and didn't wash it off.

I met Sir at the airport because for some reason he didn’t have room for a car seat. That’s okay anyways, because Babygirl’s Nana is a grandmother of eight and you can always count on her to be prepared and on time! Nana swung us by the airport and made sure we got checked in okay. The kind man at the desk checked our luggage for free! In security check I found out that anyone could kidnap my child and fly her across America because I didn’t have to verify her identity. They did require her stroller to go on the conveyer belt and her little baby shoes! They took her bottle to run a test on the milk, like I would give anything explosive to my infant for her to drink, and then we were on our way! Oh yeah…we had to wait thirty minutes for grandpa…which tells you exactly how the entire trip went. But that’s nothing compared to the security check at the Columbus Airport in Georgia! I am now intimately familiar with the staff. They did a pat down on myself and the baby. They even checked her diaper! The unwanted delay made Sir very angry because he got us to the airport late and we were weighing him down.

The time I had with my husband was well worth the annoyances, as was the graduation ceremony itself. PFC McCready was elected to be in the Lineage Squad…on merit of his average height and shoe size. He donned a WWI uniform! We got to kidnap him from approximately 1130 to 2030 on both family day and graduation day. Now we won’t be able to visit him for a while. He is currently stationed in Fort Gordon, Augusta, GA. He discovered where to get free internet, so he can set up the occasional Skype date. His first, we hope, will be on August 20^th. We will be celebrating Babygirl’s first birthday with family that day.
