Such is Life

Well school is out in Vail. As you can tell, Renie is taking it easy. He has been busy playing X-box while Larissa has been busy playing Wii. I can't believe Renie is now a senior. He and Larissa finished off the year with very good grades. Larissa is looking forward to 7th grade as I am sure Renie is looking forward to his Senior year. I can still remember what a struggle it was at the beginning of school for Renie. He was quite overwhelmed with the whole process of a big school. The technical part was pretty frustrated for him partly because the DODS school system was somewhat behind in that area. Nevertheless, the days got easier for him, he met new friends and life went on as usual.

Rene made it to Haiti safely this morning. He will be roughing it again sleeping in a tent and eating MRE's. Good thing it is only for two weeks. His main job will be doing root canals on the Haitians. A group of dental residents from Lackland AFB will be going him to help. He returns June 26th. Unfortunately for us he will be away during our 20th Anniversary date. We will be married 20 years June 15th. Looking back it seems Rene has been gone during all my important milestones. The birth of our first child, my Masters graduation , etc.....Oh well, I realized it just worked out that way. Life is so unpredictable at times. The most important thing is that no matter what he does his best to make sure we are taken care of each and every day.........
