So after much discussion, contemplation and prayer, we decided it would be a wise career move for Brady to join the Military. He quit his job of 7 1/2 years at EMG and is now a full-time student at the University of Utah. He is getting his Russian degree with a minor in Middle-Eastern studies. He wants to apply with the CIA when he is finished with school. Here he is being sworn in by his father (retired Army) into the National Guard.






Bryant (brother-in-law), Katherine (sister) and Rob (father-in-law) here to support and witness.



Brother Kurt (Marine) and Patrick (Army)

Here is D-man at our new house, just out of the tub.

Just a little family picture in front of our new house.
We are still getting used to living in Utah and missing our friends and life in Seattle. It is great to be around family especially with Brady joining the Guard. He is the fifth boy out of six to join the military-guess it is in their blood. Brady will be leaving for a 9-week basic training in May. Life will definitely be different then! CRAZY!!

Wow! What a big decision. Sounds like he is on the right path though. Good Luck in May!! We need to get together.

Yikes. I guess you know where I stand when it comes to the military.
At any rate, we still need to have a play date sometime so give me a call:)

I'd go crazy if Ben left for more than two months, and I only have one kid. If you start going crazy once Brady leaves in May, we have a guest room in our house and the three of you are more than welcome to stay here to come visit Crin and the rest of your friends in Seattle :) I'm serious, don't hesitate to call or take me up on my offer...I wouldn't put it out there if I didn't mean it ;)
