Officer Brasso, the k-9 officer, is from the Czech Republic and his oders are in Czech so he only obeys his trainer. He was SO awesome! And a beautiful dog to boot. they were throwing tennis balls and using the radar gun on him! ha He was hitting 24, but they said if he was chasing, it would have been much faster.

9/11 Rememberance

Today we're all heard lots about the 6th year anniversery of Sept. 11. It hardly seems possible that its been that long since I went to pick up Madi from semiary and we stood in the church parking lot and pondered what it would mean to our lives. Today we're still living our lives, with a little more security and apprehension than before, but we still have that life to live. I want to thank the soldiers who have fought for this country and its way of life. I want to thank the families of those soldiers for letting them make it a free place to live. And I want to especially thank those who have lost loved ones in the last 6 years defending our freedom, may your lives be blessed for those sacrifices.
