Saturday, August 23, 2008: We had a going away party for Mike. Some of our friends and his came over. We had hot dogs, chips, soda, ice cream, etc. The boys watched movies upstairs while the girls hung out downstairs talking and eating. Mike showed off his new laptop and they played around taking weird pictures with the camera.
(I can't get this picture off now that it's here...oh well)
Sunday, August 24, 2008: Mike gave hugs and kisses (mostly received them) and took some last minute pictures with the family. After a nice family dinner of pork roast (his request), potatoes, corn, he climbed in the car with the clothes on his back, his wallet and address book. We took him to the Holiday Inn downtown, where he checked into MEPS. They gave him a dinner and breakfast meal ticket; they told him the rules (no guests in their rooms, no drinking, no drugs, in bed by 10, etc.). We gave him a hug and were on our way.

Poor Kellee, is she crying in that picture with Mike holding her?
I was just about to send you an email and see what the status of Mike was. Can he recieve real mail from you? If so maybe I will send you and email to print out and send along.
Thanks for the update. I kinda know how you feel this week, I have had some of the same feelings with the girls being gone. Even though I know they are being spoiled rotten, I still worry about if Tori is crying at night when it's time for bed.
I won't be able to get mail from Mike for about 2 more weeks. And I won't know the address until then. So, if you want to send me any messages, I'll print them out and send them to him at that time. He would love it.
