Jakes Jump

Emmitt and I went to watch Jake jump about two weeks ago! It started out to be cold day but warmed up for the jump! Getting out there was an event it its self..Jake gave the wrong directions and I ended up in the middle of nowwhere..some nice guy helped me out though and with a lil cali drivng skills we made it just in time to see jake exit the aircraft! Emmitt had a blast wathcing jake jump then running out to him on the Drop Zone..While we where waiting for all the guys to get in Emmitt was wearing jakes helment yelling at everyone to do push-ups and listen to him (wonder where he gets that from!) All in all it was a blast! It was supposed to be jakes last jump but well see!

Should we stay or should we go...

Well...everyone has been asking whats next for us since Jake ETS date is coming up this May. We as a family have decided not to re-enlist in the Army. We will be moving back to Cali to live on the ranch while Jake goes to Sac State. There is still a large chance that we will be stop lost but at this point it looks like we will be making the long trek across the country. We will miss all the wonderful people that have touched our hearts and life's while we have been living in Fayetteville, but i know we will still be close not matter what state we are in! I have learned a lot while living here from a lot of people. On they other hand it will be nice that emmitt will be able to be surround by the love of a big family! i cant wait to be on the ski hill again with him and spend time with my family and DOFs. There is alot of changes ahead of us but we are ready!

Tony

Many of you already know but we had to put one of our dogs down this past week. Tony was a great dog! We adpoted him when we first moved down to Fayetteville.. He was my buddy during the deployment and Emmitts compain in crime..He will be missed but it was for the better...He got sick and lost over 30lb. As much as I miss he I know hes in a better place and not hurting..
