Marriage Year in Review: 2012
Story: 2012 was probably the busiest year of our marriage. We traveled to so many places and connected to so many people. We went to Laughlin multiple times, Las Vegas, San Diego, Grand Canyon, Palm Springs, and Phoenix. Sadly, I also started another two-year accompanied tour in Beaufort, South Carolina. We did a 10-day road…
Marriage Year in Review: 2011
Story: 2011 was amazing. I finally was able to wrap up my time in Afghanistan. I was out of there in February. The Corps tried to get me home for the birth of our second child, but I missed it by 3 days. My wife had a natural birth, safely. When I returned I felt…
Marriage Year in Review: 2010
Story- 2010 was another amazing year (I’m starting to notice a trend). We were still stationed in Yuma, Arizona, which I still love to this day. The desert is a very important place for me. Our first son was 3 years old at the beginning of the year. We really were just hanging out around…

Marriage Year in Review: 2007
The Story: I didn’t remember anything particularly memorable about 2007 before I looked at the pictures. Once I started reviewing the pictures I realized what a pivotal year it was. I started the year still on my 2-year unaccompanied tour to Okinawa, Japan. Kris was still in San Diego with my mom and our 2-month-old…
Marriage Year in Review: 2006
The Story: 2006 was one of the craziest years of our life. This is the year that we got married. But our marriage wasn’t a typical American wedding. Oh no. It was never that simple for us. I left Ashgabat, Turkmenistan (where I met Kris) in July 2005. Kris and I were not able to…
