Same here Barbara. They loved it there in Fort Riley and are adjusting to Texas life now. He's enlisted for another 6 years now I believe. He's planning on making a career out of it at this stage. They are only suppose to be there in TX for I think 6 months.......maybe a year.......I'll have to ask my friend again about that. I sure couldn't do it. It was easier for her when she was in Kansas as they were only 8 hours away and she came home often but Texas and Illinois is a long distance apart and she won't beable to come home as often unfort. I'm proud of them so much.........she is like a daughter to me. Unfort. I didn't get to know her husband well because not long after they were married he went to bootcamp and then off to Kansas.
