A day in the life...

This is what R is doing right now. Each month they have a field exercise, and this week is the exercise. It is supposed to be in the low 30's tonight while Rai is staying out there, so it should be a fun night for him! These pics were taken in November at the last exercise, but they are doing the same thing this week. We usually don't see him much during field week...he pops in for a shower and a quick meal every once in while...

Rai's new girlfriend

R got a new girlfriend last week. He met her in the store, and she was so great, he just had to have her! She was willing to come home with him, and he has been enjoying her ever since! He thinks she might be the most beautiful thing he has ever seen...he is already in love with her! (Ignore the masking tape on the shelf... R and my dad built that over Christmas, and I am just now painting it!)
