Staff Sergeant


That would be Justin's new title.

He got promoted March 1 by our friend Aaron.


Which was so cool...we know him through church but since he's a Marine who is higher ranked than Justin he was able to do the promotion.

That night we had a Taco Bell party to celebrate his graduation and promotion.

Cause when someone graduates from Arabic, it makes sense to eat Mexican food.

Or really because it's his very favorite.

He likes Taco Bell even more than authentic Mexican places (i.e., Tia Rosa's) in AZ!

I made his shirt that says "Yo quiero Taco Bell" in Arabic.


We like when our guests fit in sombreros.

That's an adorable picture of the baby--I'm assuming it's the Burciaga baby. Love it.

Congratulations to Justin!

I love the shirt idea...and the precious baby in the sombrero is adorable! I can't believe he likes Taco Bell more than the authentic stuff, though! :-)

That last pic is absolutely adorable. I have to say I'd rather the authentic stuff and Stuart wants Taco Bell (or taco smell, or taco h, e, double hockey sticks, just what I call it).

LOVE it all! Especially the adorable picture of your family at Justin's graduation (congrats by the way:) I'm so happy you guys got to go in the temple together. The Taco Bell party is awesome, the shirt idea was really cute! I think the baby in the sombrero is throwing us a peace sign. lol

Congratulations!!! You must be one PROUD wifey! And way cool idea on the shirt you made him :) And even cooler that Aaron got to promote him. He'll never forget that one!

Srsly. Heavenly Father answers our prayers! And like He promises, when we do what He says, He is bound to His promises. ...the tricky part is making it through the trials with faith, huh!? You did it! You and Justin make a good team :)
