Preschool Choir
This past Sunday Julia sang in the preschool choir at both of our morning church services. She really enjoyed doing it, and she was so cute!! :-)
Soccer...
Well Ryan has been playing soccer this spring. His team is first place in their division. We went to a tournament in Ft. Worth and a lot of family were able to come out and see him play. His team played so well!!
Next weekend we are going to Lubbock to play in another tournament; then soccer is over for the season.
Whew! We can take a breath until the fall when sports begin again. :-)

A little change in plans...
Whew!!! After waiting, and waiting, and nearly going crazy with anticipation, we have received the results of the physicians assistant board.
Rob has been selected and will begin school to be a PA in April of next year. This gives us almost a year to get it together before we move, what a relief! We just weren't really ready to move yet.
So, let me see if I can answer some common questions:
-This is something Rob has been working toward for quite a few years. He almost applied 2 years ago, then just felt wrong about it. We didn't understand it then, but trusted God that it was not the right thing at the time. (if Rob had done it then, we would not have been able to go to adopt Julia due to his being in the school) While we were in Ukraine he started thinking about it again and decided to go ahead and apply this time around.
-This is a military school through University of Nebraska.
-There will be one year of classroom work in San Antonio at Ft. Sam Houston, then one year of clinical work at an Air Force hospital somewhere around the country, we will find out where later.
-He will graduate with a bachelors and a masters degree from this program.
-After the 2 years of school Rob will become an officer in the Air Force and we will owe them 4 years of service for the schooling. He would have to serve a total of 10 years as an officer to retire as an officer, we will look at our options when the time comes... :-)
I can't think of anything else, but if you have questions, just ask. :-)

Reenlistment...
Well, Robby has signed up for 6 more years! That will bring us up to about 19 years in the military, so I guess that means he will go for the full retirement from the AF. :-)
He figured that since this may be the last time he reenlists, he would do something really cool to do it. So, they lit up the burn room and he and his commander went in and did the ceremony with blazing flames all around. It was pretty cool, this is who Robby is, a fireman, so it was cool to make his commitment this way. They had all the block 4 classes out there to watch and then they hosed him down after it was over. Fireman, always getting each other with one joke or another. ;-)
I love my husband and I am proud to be his wife, proud that he chooses to serve others and his country, proud that he is so good at his job. I am excited to see where the next 6 years will take us.
