Today was the first day of VPK for Jack. He was very excited about starting "big boy school." I know that we still have a year until kindergarten but it is still big. He had a wonderful day and made some new friends. No I didn't cry - I guess because he has been in daycare since he was 18 months old it's not really a big deal for us. Now next year will be a different story.
Next week I will have my 4th knee surgery to realign my knee cap and a couple of other things. To be completely honest, I am looking forward to having this surgery if for nothing more than the down time from work. Work has been monster crazy and I am finally going to get a few days off in a row. I am not looking forward to the cutting and what not but I will deal. The only other thing that I am not looking forward to is that Jon is leaving for at least a week on September 6th.
Last week, we received some news that we haven't shared with many people because we are just not sure what is going to happen in the upcoming weeks. NO, I am not pregnant. We found out that as of right now Jon might be deploying with his unit that leaves for mobilization at the first of September. He has a 50/50 chance of being deployed. We have no definite answers as to whether or not he is going but we have to begin packing everything that he might need for a deployment. I am not sure how to react to this because we were not expecting this when he got this new job. We will manage but we are adjusting to this new possibility.
Here is a picture of Jack today:
