Wow, It has been a while
sense I wrote here, but I thought that it would be a great time to up date you all about our lives. First off everyone is happy and healthy.
I (Jason) have finally recieved some direction in his professional life. The first part of February I recieved notice from my old headquartes unit, they informed me that they had a spot for me when I finished up with the ROTC. They were going to send me to Camp Williams and have me work in a battalion HQ training office as a assistant training sergeant. I was to reclassify as a Chemical specialist. Well, I wasnt thrilled about sitting in a HQ in a staff postition, I want to be with the soldiers still. So I applied for a job with a new Airborne support company as their readyness sergeant. I interviewed the last of February and got the job!!!! Im so excited..for twenty years I have wanted to go to airborne school and know I get to go..I hope to be with this unit for 3-5 years, then I will need to move to be promoted. I will let you know what type of work this unit will be doing in conversations off line. I am also looking at helping my Mom buy a beauty shop in Riverdale. We are a little nervous about it, but I feel that it will be a great opportunity for her and I to get her some independance. I know that she can do it and make it work out. We will see how it goes in the next few weeks.
Jenni has recovered well and after her detox and is much happier with life. She started selling real estate in January with Century 21 in North Logan. She is on a small sales team, they are very successful. They have expressed their opptimisum in Jenni's abilitys to find alot of success. She has had several closings and we expect her to continue to find alot more success down the road. It is so nice to see her up and about, and being motivated, she has found so much happiness from this life change. Just last week we closed an offer on our house in Logan, we will move in June to Clinton and the buyers wont move in untill June also. She has to travel to Ogden now and spends alot of time working on the weekends but she is happy. She has found so much satisfaction in helping others obtain their goals. Jenni and I are going to Hawaii in May for her birthday, we need a break after all that we have been through that past three years. We will let you know how it goes.
Ken is starting his last trimester at Logan High. He has been doing great still with his grades, he enjoyed his drama class last tri, past his drivers ed class, and broke a girls heart; go figure. Ken is still working at the same pizza joint and loves going to work. In the last month ken helped to organize intrest in a Cache Valley High School Rugby team, he was able to round up a couple dozen kids from Logan High to form a team with Skyview, and Mountian Crest to form this all valley team. He wont be around to see all of the success of the club, but when he gets down to Davis county schools he will get to play the CV team. It has been fun to watch him work with other kids on the team. Ken has alot of friends up here and I know he will miss them when we move.
Rick is also doing great! Most of his time has been spent preparing for his Middle School musical "Pirates of Penzance". He is playing the part of Fredrick, he was the young pirate who wishes to no longer be a pirate, he leaves the ship and rows to a small island where he meets a beautiful girl, he wishes to become respectable. The other pirates dont want him to leave so they chace him down and convence him to return, much to the dismay of his sweetheart. This is a great show follow this link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pirates_of_Penzance#Synopsis to find out more about this play. Rick has also discovered that girls are not so bad. He spends alot of time chatting on line and talking on the phone with several girls from school, its funny because alot of Ricks friends think he is such a dork, which he is, but the girls sure dont mind.. and his friends hang out alone and play 360. Last trimester he loved his quitar and speach/drama class.
Brickley is really doing great in his new school. He has assimilated very easlly to his new surroundings and the challenging school work. He has so many friends in our neighborhood, if he could play all day long he would, most eight year olds would. Brickleys grades are very good concidering that he has jumped from second grade work(in his elemetry school) to fourth grade work (in his charter school). B has been excited about our cats new kittens that she had in early March, five kittens, any takers???...
So as you can see we are all doing well and have alot of change ahead of us in the future. let us know how you are in the comments under this blog. Take care and stay happy.
Jason..
