Good News!

Jim has officially been accepted to teach at West Point! This has been his goal for a long time, so it is an answer to prayer that God's direction for us is the one that we want! Jim will be going to grad school in the fall of 2009, then we will start the 2011 school year at West Point! We are excited to meet up with the Childri and the Golbi and any other friends of ours that we'll see there. Jim will be in the Math department. In other news, March 31 (Jim's birthday!) Jim will be taking command here at Ft.Sill on the Basic Training side of the post. We are looking forward to many, many years of non deployment status! Two year-long deployments is enough, right?

Congratulations Jim! We are so happy for you guys, what a GREAT transistion that will be.

Oh-and Joni, I totally get what you were feeling about American Gladiators, saw it playing the other day when I was out, and got SO EXCITED! I guess that is kind of weird but oh well. I haven't been able to watch an episode yet, but I'm at least glad it exists again.

Yeah! We were already planning on visiting everyone for Scott's 10 year reunion in 2011! In other news Scott and I went to NYC last weekend and I got to shop at two H&M's. I thought of you. Such fun!

Congrats! What a great assignment. It's only making me wish WP was something we had pursued. It's going to be a Schweinfurt reunion. Hopefully we will come visit you all for a football game!
