Update from Stafford (and Montgomery, AL)
So... It's definitely been a long while longer... Hopefully, everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
We are all doing well, and everyone is keeping busy.
Caity has graduated high school and is now attending a local junior college. She also continues to work part time at the Subway right up the street from us.
Brady has started his junior year at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond- he transferred there after finishing his freshman year at Old Dominion University. He is also working at Best Buy and bouncing at a local restaurant/bar.
The dogs (Abbey and Charlie) are, well, just dogs... But to Steph, they are her babies. Unfortunately, we had to put Hank down- he could no longer get up or down stairs and was having a really hard time just breathing.
Stephanie continues to teach fourth-graders and is in her ninth year. She has taught both fourth and fifth grade through those years. She is holding down the fort in VA while Casey is attending school in Alabama.
After more than four and a half years, Casey left the counter-IED program in June 2010, spent a year as the Program Manager of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle Program (bascially the next-generation tactical vehicle to replace some of the Humvees in the services), and is now attending the Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, AL. Casey does not have actual orders yet, but has been verbally told he will go back to the Quantico/DC area. That's a good thing for all of us.
