Rikk made it home safe and sound on Friday from the NCO Academy at Elmendorf in Anchorage. He graduated on Thursday night , so he left Friday morning. At the graduation he was surprised with winning the "Distinguished Graduate Award" and just couldn't believe it. This award was given to him because of his grades and was also voted on by his classmates and the instructors. Yay Rikk, we are so proud of you!
We are also REALLY, REALLY, REALLY glad to have him home. The boys played with him all day yesterday and today and I even got to take nap...an uninterrupted nap!!! The boys are sad that he has to go to work tomorrow, but know that he won't be gone long. So starting again tomorrow, I will hear all day long, "Is it almost dinner time?" because they know Rikk gets home just before that. We love you Rikk and are glad you are back!
