On Feb. 25, 2009 (the day of Brodi's 5th birthday and our last post) my father Bruce Allen Marietti died of a heart attack. He was 53 years old. Nothing in my life has been harder for me to accept. He was an amazing Dad and Grandpa. Its so hard to believe that when ever I have a question he will never be there to answer it anymore. We love and miss him so much everyday.
In April Our oldest, Carter, turned the big 8 and was baptized. He is getting so big! its weird to think that he is already 8. He is so smart and funny and we are so proud of him! We miss him alot and love him even more.
I also started Airman Leadership School, or ALS in April. I needed to attend to be able to sew on my Staff Sargent stripe. It was 6 weeks long and very exhausting, mentally and physically. Every day I had to read lots and take tests and give speeches. We also did LOTS of running, just to graduate we had to do a 10 mile run, its the most I have ever run at once. I know Tausha was happy for me to be done.
On the 8th of June our littlest boy Trevan turned 3! He is getting so big too fast.
He is our last baby and that only seems to make it worse. He loves Diego and playing with his sister Brodi, even though they fight, alot! He's still a great cuddler and likes to make people laugh at all the silly stuff he does. We love him sooo much!!
On June 13th Brodi had her first dance recital, we enrolled her in Febuary for ballet and jazz/tap dancing and she really loved doing it!
She did REALLY well at her very first recital and we are so proud of her and look forward to continuing her lessons in the fall.
A huge change for our family is happening right now, just last week we found out that I have orders to Osan, Korea, along with 3 of my friends. Its kind of crummy because I have to go alone for a year without Tausha or the kids, but it is allowing us to go where ever in the world we want to after the year apart. Right now we put in to go (in order): Spangdahlem Germany, Ramstien Germany, Mildenhall England, Lakenheath England, Hickam Hawaii, Aviano Italy. for state side I have: Mt Home Idaho, and Hill Utah. We will let you know what we get when I get my follow-on though.
We've spent 4 great years in Little Rock AR and although it was hard to get used to at first, (can you say HUMIDITY?!) its really grown on us and we are going to miss the people and experiences we've had here.
Ok so that SHOULD get us caught up on most of the big things that we havent been posting for a while, I promise to keep up now so that we dont get that far behind again! Thanks for reading! Love you all!!
