This is my first attempt to create a family blog, so please be patient. On August 28th Dave, Emily and I traveled to Newport, Rhode Island to witness Matt's graduation from the Naval Officer Candidate School. What a great time we had seeing Matt's transformation into a Naval Officer. We attended several events including a Hi Mom dinner at the Newport Yacht Club, a change in command ceremony, the graduation ceremony and even a 5AM run with the candidates. It was fun to see their marine drill sergeant put them "on their face" with push-ups, sit-ups and bear crawls. Grandpa Doug and Betty drove all the way from Rochester to join us and support Matt. Thanks so much for coming! Matt is continuing with his training to work as a civil engineer. Soon he and Nicole and Lukas will be in Maryland, where they will stay for the next two years.
