He Did It!

Well - on March 26th, 2010 at approximately 1:59PM (1359), Buck graduated from WLC. For those who don't understand how important this was, he was not supposed to get his current rank without it. Therefore, he could not have furthered his career until he finished and passed the course. He was only 1 point shy of being in the top 20% of his class so he did very well. We have both been waiting (im)patiently for this class to become available for him during a time when he was actually in town. Finally, though, it came, he went, he conquered :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day

For some reason, I just haven't done much with my camera lately but I am trying to get back into taking lots and lots of pictures. Here are some pictures of Bucky that I took yesterday for St. Patrick's Day.

My Bro is a Grown-Up Now

On March 6, 2010, my baby brother, DJ, was married to his beautiful bride, Alisa. They were visibly very excited about the day and wedding. It was a wonderful and short ceremony at Oaks by the Bay followed by a fun and entertaining reception at the Boatyard. The wedding was a little chilly since it was outside but everyone looked great. My little ring bearer made it up the aisle with a little coaxing from the flower girls but stopped when he saw his grandaddy. He did much better than I expected. Alisa made all the reception decorations and DJ, her cousin, and I helped her decorate. When we got there after the ceremony, it was absolutely gorgeous with all the candles lit and twinkle lights on. She did a wonderful job making everything. I know they were both very happy the stressful part was over and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy having fun with everyone on the dance floor. Congratulations DJ and Alisa! I am so proud of you baby brother and am so happy you found someone with which to spend the rest of your life! I love you!!
