Two weekends ago, Brian had his first drill weekend since the deployment. Before the deployment Brian use to drill over in Bend. So once a month (or sometimes more) he would drive over to Bend. Three hours there, three hours back. There was lots and lots of driving going on. Now that the deployment is over (yippee!) Brian's new assignment with the Guards is to be the Commander of the Lebanon unit. We are all so proud of him that he has been chosen to do this. The position usually lasts for about two years and then he will be re-assigned to another job within the brigade. But for now the next two years he will be drilling in Lebanon, which will be so much closer!! I anticipate that while he has drill we will all head down as a family and spend time with both sets of grandparents....either in Lebanon or in Albany. And we will probably get to see Brian in the evening after he is done with the day. I'm so excited! Here are a few photos while we were down there a couple of weekends ago. We celebrated Sydney's birthday, got to visit with the great-grandparents, Colin and Syd played in the pool since it was so warm and then we headed to the ceremony of Brian taking over as commander. It was a great weekend and I look forward to more of them.
