It has been a while

Hello Everyone,

It has been a while since I have posted to his blog and I just wanted to let you all know that Jess did not end up going to Afghanistan. Thank the lord for that! However, he did recieve orders to Korea for a year. There are negatives and positives about this assignment but it a heck of a lot better than Afghanistan. He will leave sometime at the end of September or beginning of October.

We have been trying to spend a lot of time together as a family this summer. We have done many sightseeing adventures in the DC metro area, we went to Virginia Beach for the 4th of July weekend, we just got back from California, and we will be celebrating our anniverssary early at the Gaylord before Jess leaves.

Another blessing is that Jess was promoted effective August 1st. We had a great celebration party for him before we left for California. Several friends and coworkers came to celebrate as well as Jess mom. She was so happy to be part of the festivities and we enjoyed her company.

Well I will go for now, enjoy the new pics!
