Doesn't He Look Sharp?



Ok - so I am not very good at keeping this thing up to date. I apologize! But, I do have some new pictures to put on. Peter got his "digi's" today, along with a bunch of other equipment, and so I thought I would let everyone see what he looks like. It suits him I think.



Watching him lace up his shoes and walk through the house reminded me of when I was a kid and Dad would come home from work. They were a different color then, but the feeling was the same. It made me think about the fact that both our fathers, and every male sibling is in or has been in the armed services. Pretty incredible.


Here is another picture - blurry, but my personal favorite.

Jumping On The Bandwagon...

Well, it was really only a matter of time before we joined the blogging forces. The real reason I have been holding back is that our lives have really just not been that interesting. But alas, times change and it looks like we are facing some new adventures. I figured this would be a good way to keep everyone informed. So feel free to stop by and check on us, and I will try to keep this thing up to date.

As of last week, we were sitting here in Draper and loving our place, loving our ward, and discussing how we were going to try and stay put for as long as we could. It was short lived. Peter has been contemplating military service for awhile now, and on Thursday we had an a sit-down meeting with the Army ROTC. They had some great options for him (unlike the Air Force - who appear to not want anyone!).

He has decided to take a 3 year full tuition scholarship and contract with the ROTC, which puts him in line to recieve complete funding for medical school if he gets accepted. Long story short - he is going to have to quit working in the spring and we are going to need to move when our lease here in Draper is up. So November 6 will mark Move #4 in the first two years. We will be living in student housing at the U of U...which is actually a great option. We are excited, but sad to have to leave Draper and not looking forward to packing again :P.
