I have months and months....and months of updates to post. I have been so crazy busy with school this past semester that I had to put the blog on the back burner. Finally, I have graduated and I am making this blog my priority until I get it updated fully. I have been hard at work all day today editing and gathering photos. Lots of laughs and a few tears. I can't believe how many events have passed and how many pictures I have just gone through. I owe it to Brian Flynn, and David & Mona Waldeck to post pictures while they are deployed (I'm thankful for the chance to upload mini facebook updates). I will upload as much as possible, asap. Here is the most recent...Aubrie graduated from preschool yesterday!

Please check back for more updates, and I will post as I finish events. Please keep Justin's dad, Dave and his wife Mona in your prayers. They are both deployed with the Army Corps of Engineers and doing great things. My brother-in-law, Brian Flynn, is also currently deployed with the Marine Corps and we couldn't be prouder of him. Keep him and my sister, Christina, in your prayers as they go through their first deployment.

I can't explain to you how much it means to me to have so many of you bother me about updating this blog. I continued to be amazed by how many people actually keep up with us. I often think about how many friends we have from all over the country; because some of you insist on moving away from Chicago, and also because so many of us became family away from family and have changed duty stations.

I love you all and wish we all lived in one big cul-de-sac :)

Aubrie loves Monica

After her ceremony, Aubrie was able to pick where we went to dinner for her special day. She said she wanted "PASTA!" We went to Moretti's and she enjoyed a big plate of spaghetti

We are so proud of her :)

Halloween 2010

We had a fun filled Halloween! I was determined to make our costumes, since my parents never allowed us to have the store bought kind growning up. I took the challenge of making Yo Gabba Gabba characters, and Aubrie couldn't have been more excited about it! We made a lot of people laugh and we posed for a lot of pictures!

Aubrie had a school party and brought Lydia with her.
