I can't even put into words how unbelievably proud I am of Brandon! Yesterday was his graduation and it was amazing! When I was standing outside before it started one of the Corporals was talking to a group of detention center boys that had come to see the ceremony. He said 575 people applied for the July class.... 45 were chosen... only 36 completed the course. Which made me even more proud of Brandon for all he has done. The ceremony was really nice. They marched in like they have done every day since they started. They called cadence and all that stuff. I rode back to Charleston with him in his patrol car and that was fun. The smile on his face was priceless! And now every time he looks outside he gets to see his car sitting out there. Starting on Tuesday he can drive it whenever and wherever we want to go! Anyways... here are some pictures of everything.
Thursday night started with me going up to Columbia for a dinner with the spouses. It was really fun and nice to spend time and see where he has been living for the last 5 months.

I was able to sneak this picture before everything started.
