my little bro
its christmas time early in the prochnow household... a letter came from dennis hastert (presumably about chris's nomination for the air force) and one about his medical testing and we all wanted to open them, but then didn't at the same time because chris is in florida right now with the lapas fam. and also because it's so early for the nominations, so it could be really good... or really bad. so dad calls chris, and chris obviously wanted dad to open the letters. dad literally jumps from the chair as we sit in the living room watching illinois demolish mizzou (ha ha yes!) and rips open the letter in the other room. mom and i remain nervously on the couch, while dad starts reading "i am honoured to present you as a congressional nominee, bladidee blah blah..." dad yells "WOO HOO" louder than anything I've ever heard and continues reading... but can't. because my poor father is crying. he gets through most of it before i take over as dad wipes his eyes. oh, i love my dad. and i am so proud of my little brother. its a huge step toward his acceptance into the academy, and i can only pray that everything else continues to go so well. he deserves it and wants it so bad, and we all want it for him, we are his biggest supporters in this. i cannot wait until he gets home!
meanwhile, as dad is still tearing up, mom comes in and wonders how dad will survive if chris doesn't get it. i think my biggest concern at this point is how dad will survive if the kid DOES make it in, in all honesty, for either outcome, i'm worried dad's going to have a heart attack... yall should have heard the man tonight :)
more about break later. im tired :)
