HELLOOOO Everybody! Wow, we are really, really behind on our blog...wow! Sorry. Life has slipped by with little time to blog. In any case, hopefully we can get you up to date with our happenings. I joined the Navy in July, was sent to training in Newport, RI in August, then training in Norfolk, VA in September, then we all are going to Guam in October. Em and the kids have been with her family in Logan, UT. Em, my precious, lovely, devoted, and not crazy wife has done all of the hard work...getting all of our stuff shipped, including our car, to Guam; in addition to dealing with the insane amount of paperwork and bureaucracy of the government and moving overseas!!! All the while tending to the extremely demanding needs of our three lovely (although she might argue this point! ;) children, Lizzy, Maddie, and Gage! If you call her and she doesn't answer, don't worry, she still loves and cares about you, she is just probably doing one of the things listed above...or she could be crying wishing this was all over soon! Which it will be in the next week or so. We then will be sending our warm wishes and doing better at keeping everybody up to date from Guam. So until then...
