Vacation to Utah Feb 14-27, 2009

Sorry we are so slow at updating out blog, but here is the info about our trip to Utah and the pictures as well.... We were able to go up to Utah to visit Gloria's family and some close friends. We really enjoyed our time with everyone....even though we didn't get to see everyone we wanted to. Maybe next time. Gloria even got to have a girl's night with her sisters. Gloria made ribs for her first time...they turned out awesome. We marinaded them in coke all night in 5 gallon buckets. Then cooked them in the crockpot all day with bbq sauce. Last but not least we put them in the oven for extra crispness. We even got to enjoy the snow....by shoveling the drive way. David got to work at the barn with the horses for the first time. Thanks Hans for putting us to work!!! :) We also got to enjoy a lot of time with both of Gloria's parents. By the end of the two weeks we were definately ready to be home and sleep in our own beds.

David's Promotion

David was promoted from Private First Class to Specialist back on January 8, 2009. His brother, Alan, was able to come up here to promote him. It was a really cool experience.
