WE LOVE MORENO VALLEY


Today Shawn found out that he will be a Marine Corps Recruiter in the beautiful city of Moreno Valley! Thank you everyone for the prayers...we couldn't be happier. We had no idea where we might be stationed. We could have been stationed anywhere in the United States and with a lot of luck and a lot of Shawn sucking up to the right people, we are one of the lucky families who get to stay in the area we already live in. The commute is just about the same as he's been doing now (maybe even a little less of a commute).

Shawn will get a company car, cell phone and gas card, BUT these items can only be used for work related things. He doesn't get to take the car home, but it's still great.

Just as an update on Shawn's recruiting classes...he was 5th place in the fitness/running section, and 2nd in his group during the communications/public speaking class. He also recently scored 97% on a written test. Shawn doesn't like to brag about stuff, but I like to brag about him!

Oh yeah, he also just got selected for a promotion. Next year he will be "Staff Sergeant Sundquist"

We know where the city of Moreno Valley is - but where is the "Beautiful city of Moreno Valley"?
CONGRATULATIONS - SHAWN!!!!
Your life has been truly blessed and your prayers have been answered. It was an answer to our prayers as well. We feel like the luckiest people in the world to have our son and daughter living just a few miles away. But even better than that, to have Kiley so close. We couldn't be happier.
