What can happen in a year?

Well, it's been almost a year since I wrote in my blog and a lot can happen in a year!
Like what you may ask? Well, the biggest thing would be my father-in-law getting shipped overseas to Bagdahd to do his part to end terrorism followed a couple months later by my brother-in-law.
My father-in-law left behind a wife, 3 kids and 10 grandchildren. He was less than a year away from retirement with the National Guard, but they made him active before he could retire. He has sent our kids some neat things from overseas including very nice backpacks with their names embroidered on them.
My brother-in-law left behind a wife and 2 children - a 2 1/2 year old and a newborn. It's been the hardest on my mother-in-law. The next biggest thing that has happened in the last year is we found out my husband is graduating on May 19th - 1 to 2 years earlier than we thought he would! What does this mean for us? Well, based on an interview he has to go to March 2nd, we will hopefully be moving this summer closer to family!
