Our Family: An Update

An Update

We are in the lower 48 for a few weeks, while Derek is in Afghanistan (for about a year). Roy (my little bro) got married last weekend and we've been spending time with family. Derek is building things from nothing and staying fairly busy. We talk a few times a month and communicate via Facebook fairly regularly. It's certainly not my dream situation, but it could be worse...

Here are some pics from my side:
