is reporting to Parris Island today for boot camp. He will be a Marine, like my dad.

We won't know until near the end of his training what he will be doing, or whether he will go straight off to Iraq or Afghanistan. Since he's my brother, I obviously want him out of harm's way! But, he's a tough, smart kid, and I think he'll do well where ever he ends up.

I am very proud of him, and I can't wait to see photos! When I do, I'll share them.
