Why i love my parents

Okay so I know that I brag about my parents all the time, but I do it for good reason. Out of my boredom today (more like avoiding homework) I was playing around on the internet. I typed in maiden name to see if my old wedding pictures were still on the internet (nope). Anyway, so when I googled, I only had like one hit-yeah kinda lame. Just to curious I google my mom (under her maiden name) and got 370,000 hits. Who knew?!?! At first I thought that it was a mistake, but no most of them are in regards to something my mom has done. It's craziness. So then I decided to google my dad cause well again I was bored. This time I got 1900 hits (sorry dad moms a little more popular). This time I know they were all about him becuase I dont think anyone else in the world has the same name.
I know that this is absolutly random, but I was so shocked. I know my parents are successful and well respected, but who knew. So anyway-back to homework i go.
PS-mom and dad-i love the descriptions of you on the UC Davis Forensic Science website. You guys sound like you do crazy CSI stuff-love you!

Okay so I promised to finally put some pictures of here of Trevor and everything that has been happening since we got back to Hawaii a month ago.

I guess I will start with the Aquarium. We went at the end of January with our playgroup from here on base. Here is Trevor with some fish and friends.

Okay so the next pictures that I have are of Trevor at the halfway party (yippie). I put Trevor in his 49er outfit because we were taking a picture to send to the guys. I wanted daddy to be able to spot his son in sucha huge group.

So the next picture is the mother of the soon to be Browning Family Dog. We are planning to get and Miniture Australian Shephard in May 2009. WE are so super excited!

The final pictures that we have are Trevor and his new haircut and his flattering black eye he got trying to put away his toys in the bathtub. This mom thing is so much fun!

Hey everybody

I'm writing once again from my room in lovely Iraq. Things are going along really well here, and the whole deployment is starting to wind down. The elections played a big part of my last month, we didn't have a direct influence but did a lot of behind the scenes work. It's great to see this country move forward and have a democratic future. 

The month of February is going by as well, pretty soon I'll be getting ready to come home in a few months. Don't expect me to leave until sometime in the middle of April. As of now though, coming back to California doesn't look like a plan. If I only get two weeks off, then I'm going to stay in Hawaii and spend time with the family. Sorry to disappoint some, but that's how it will work out. 

As for my time here in Iraq. This deployment has been great for me so far, I've learned a lot about the Marine Corps and dealing with my subordinates. I feel truly blessed and honored to have these kids underneath me. They've taken everything I've thrown at them and excelled. Hopefully they continue with their progression and we have furthered success. 

Well, I need to get going. Take care everyone.
