For the past few months, we have been waiting on Medical Board results pertaining to Randall's kidney disease. They finally came back this week and we couldn't be happier. Randall is going to receive a high percentage of his base pay and we all get medical coverage and benefits for life. We are so thankful that God has His hand in this situation and has blessed us in this way.
We are still waiting on the final orders but those should be back soon. Then, we will have an exact date on when we are moving back to Virginia. We are hoping to be home by the end of this month! We can't wait to reunite with family and friends and not have to say goodbye so soon!
On Saturday, we decided to go to the Hale Koa Hotel on Waikiki beach for more fun in the sun. It was Evan's first time in a pool and he loved it! He had so much fun splashing and laughing at Caleb. He even took a nap in his stroller then played some more. I was worried that he wouldn't like the water but now I know this summer is going to be fun after all!
On Sunday, Caleb had a Semper Fi Wrestling Club pool party. He received another trophy, and two awards (most wins and fastest pin) for such an outstanding season!
Caleb is involved in wrestling now. In his first tournament, he took home the Gold. Just yesterday, he placed second in his bracket and got a ribbon. This Friday, there will be an article about him in the Marine Corps paper. He also just received his report card--straight As, of course. An athlete and smart?! Hope that sticks around until college scholarship time!
Randall is hangin' in there. I think I might put him in a home if anything else falls apart on him! He recently had another ankle surgery and is currently in a cast. He can walk around and do things and believe me, I have been making him do things since he is on leave for a month! His kidneys are still functioning at 34%. We were worried there for a little bit that they were getting worse but recent tests have all come back normal. He is on a Medical Board with the military right now to get benefits when he gets out. He is supposed to get out in October, however, the Medical Board may take up to a year and he may have to extend his getting out. Bottom line--we have NO idea when we will be going home.
I am doing fine. I am enjoying staying home with all my boys. I go to visit my coworkers (who have become what I hope are lifelong friends) and students occasionally. I really miss my students and they tell me that they miss me as well. That really makes me feel good to know that I had somewhat of an impact on their lives. 
He had a lot of surprises coming his way this year. First, mom and daddy showed up at our door one day. Caleb had no idea they were coming! He was in shock for about an hour after they arrived. Then, my aunt Brenda and Lara came too.
