Hearing His Voice Again!

I finally got a phone call yesterday! It was wonderful to hear his voice again! He seems to be happy and he still sounds like his goofy self. :) He told me about his gas chamber experience which sounded awful! You can see what it does to the soldiers at steelrainsoldiers.blogspot.com. They have a couple pictures and the men are slobbering all over themselves. Shaun was laughing about it even though he said it was the worst thing he has experienced in his life. I love his positive attitude! The marksmenship certification stuff is for the next two or three weeks. Shaun absolutely loves guns so I think he'll enjoy this part a lot. He does have a cough that is stopping him from getting his sleep but the cold that he has had this entire time is finally going away. He has lost 12 lbs!!! I thought that was pretty incredible. :) The count down is now at 45 days! I'll get to see him then when his family and I drive down to Oklahoma. It'll only be a total of about 18 hours with him (maybe more if he doesn't get shipped out until later) but I'm happy to take what I can get. It'll be a fun trip even though it takes four days to get there both ways. He's already been gone 29 days so time is going by fast enough for now. :)
