The FaMiLy. as is people, take it or leave it. i suggest taking it, on the outside we may strike you as awesome, but on the inside, we blow minds :)

Since i'm not entirely sure on how to begin this awesome adventure, we'll just start with where everyone is and how we're doing. So buckle up, you're in for the ride of your life!

Mom and Dad are both doing well. Mom is still working hard at her job as a civilian at the National Guard Headquarters. Doing something with their money...for all they know she could be buying more shoes...Anywho, dad is still fighting to keep this country a free and beautiful place. He's spending his days in Alabama for now but is expected home within the first week of March and boy we're excited! We're ready for things to start working around here again. Deployments are always on the horizon but hopefully they will stay there. He has five more years until he can retire and he's counting down every minute.

Jenny is still in Illinois living with her boyfriend EJ and continuing her education. If a natural disaster of epic proportion doesn't come and wash her away...again, she should graduate this May with a degree in Criminalistics. To say we're proud of her for sticking with it would be an understatement, alas it is used for the lack of a better word. She was able to get an internship this semester at a coroners office and is loving every second of it. EJ just opened his own restaurant recently and is staying pretty busy.




Jason has found new employment this year after being forced out of the framing business due to economic stress in the housing industry. He now finds himself working for Blue Beacon. They have many sites across the country and are engaged in washing tractor trailer rigs. He has received a promotion to operations manager and is pretty happy with his employment. He's dating a lovely girl and living in Bountiful with a few of his friends and occasionally finds the time to come eat our food.

Rachael is her usual self. She slowly started college in the fall of '08 and didn't do too shabby. She is working as a part time nanny for the four most adorable children in Farmington. She has started developing her natural eye for pictures and has even had a couple of paying jobs taking wedding and associated pictures. She found it enjoyable only after all the grueling hours in front of the computer (and never tasting the sweetness of satisfaction) were over. She's enjoying her slow and steady lifestyle for now, at least until she decides to grow up and do something with herself. The hard part is finding out what she's going to do.
