Uncle Evan joins the NAVY!

 Earlier this year, my baby brother left me and decided to join the military.  It was bittersweet for me personally.  I mean, I am glad that my brother has found this path that he is so excited about and is making a future for himself, but also I am quite sad that he won't be around all the time because he is my partner in crime.  We often go out for wings, he plays with my children and watches them willingly and he is just a fun guy to be around.

The day he left, we took him out to Fogo de Chao and he was able to get a couple last minute texts in before he had to give up everything he owned and fly to Illinois (where bootcamp is).

 After several long weeks... Uncle Evan graduated from bootcamp!

Now Evan is busy in school studying to learn his job in the NAVY.  Couldn't be prouder!  And you can't see it in the picture, but those are actually bell-bottoms folks... I would have killed to be there and harass him about those. :)
