Chris Graduates

Today Chris graduated from Airman Leadership School. He was the class leader for the 6 weeks of class, as the highest ranking in the group. Tonight was the graduation ceremony at the Officer's Club. One of the perks of being with the class leader is that our table was front and center, perfect view of the stage. Chris earned the Distinguished Graduate award for being in the top 10% of his class. He's definitely ready to go back to working his regular job after the last 10 months, and I'm ready for the alarm to not go off at 5am anymore.

The kitties are making progress, they are getting closer to each other more frequently. There is more sniffing, and less hissing and swatting. Chris promises me they just need more time, and I know he's right, but I'm not good with the transition period. Can't we all just get along?

Phooey

Today we adopted Phooey, a kitty cat for Callie. Callie is lonely while we are at work all day, and when we're out exploring Europe. Phooey is so cute! She looks like a shrunken, miniature kitten. She spent the morning bouncing around the house exploring, and all afternoon and evening passed out on my or Chris's lap. Surprisingly, Phooey was the first to hiss and growl at Callie. Callie follows her around sniffing and watching her, but Phooey doesn't want to spend time with Callie yet. But for day one, it has been very successful.
