My brother re-enlisted a few months ago which took their cute little family from Camp Pendleton to Japan. My brother has made some great accomplishments in the Marine Corps. He recently was advanced to Staff Sargeant. Now, I am not a scholar in the Marines, but I guess it is almost impossible to obtain in the first 5 years. His recruitor told him that he couldn't get. He got it!!! What an accomplishment!! We are so proud of him. If he is accepted into Officers school, they will return a little earlier. I am sure he will obtain that also if he has set his mind for it.
When we said our goodbyes last night, it was like he was going on a mission all over again. He said that the difference this time is he got to chose his companion. Thank heavens for modern technology that allows us to see them and talk to them on the computer. Skype will keep us in contact. We also have a family website that will keep us up to date on them.
We love you guys and will miss you.

Crista- I was so pleased to see you blogging. Your blog is adorable!! I love the count down you have for your baby. CONGRADULATIONS!!! I didn't know you were expecting till I saw it on your blog. That is great, you have the cutest kids! Thank you for what you wrote about the hard times you went through with Hannah when she was first born. It sounds almost exactly like what I went through with Emery. Everyone else made everything look so easy and the were so happy, so I thought there was just something wrong with me. It is good to know I was not alone. Anyway, I am excited to watch for your new up-dates. Keep up the good work!
