Lisa graduates as a Russian Linguist in the Army at Presidio of Monterey!




Just 3 days after David joined the army, Lisa graduated as a Russian Linguist in the Army! We were able to go down for her graduation and celebrate with her! She gave a speech with another girl in her class as they both spoke and translated for each other! It was a wonderful, witty, and clever, speech! Her teachers told us how she speaks like a native and how hard she's worked! We even heard that in 26 years of hearing graduate speeches in Russian, none could compare to Lisa's! What a wonderful accomplishment, Lisa! Soon she will soon go to Texas for more training, and eventually will be sent to Germany. There couldn't be a mother that's prouder of a daughter than I am of Lisa! I love you sissy!

David joins the Marines!



David joined the Marines and took his oath and was sworn in on September 15th! We are so proud of him! He will do a wonderful job as he serves! It's a bitter-sweet time for us. We love him so much, and will miss him so much, but how can we feel sad when he is doing what he believes in as he stands up for liberty and freedom for all! He will be spending the next 3 months at Camp Pendelton in San Diego and will graduate and then be able to be home with us for Christmas! We love you David! We are proud of you!!
