Tara and Kim :)
If I remember correctly, Tara and Kim are both ultrasound technicians, right? I have a friend in Kalamazoo who is looking to go into that field and she's wondering where to start. Since I don't have a clue, I thought I'd come to the experts. Did you both go to school locally? How long would it take start to finish to gain a degree? Any idea what the job market there is like? I believe my friend would like to stay in that area during and after school, would she be able to get a job quickly, or are her chances better in another state?? Thanks so much for any info you can pass on to me, I really appreciate it!
PS- for anyone who didn't know, I moved to San Antonio in February. I absolutely love it here--the weather is perfect, although I miss my family and sweet lil Jenna. My boyfriend, Steve (get used to the name, you'll be seeing a LOT of him soon) will graduate from navigator training in the Air Force in May. As a bonus, here's a pic of us from our recent skydiving trip.
Miss you all :)

It's offical...I'm moving home :)
Just thought that I would share that I am officially moving back to the mitten state at the end of May!!! My boyfriend, Kyle, got an awesome job in Grand Rapids, and long distance isn't my idea of fun. Plus, I miss my family like crazy, AND there are huge budget cuts to education in Arizona, so the chances of me having my job next year here are slim to none. All of this has a been an answer to prayer!
So, if you want to come visit me, time is running out :) I will enjoy the 80+ degree weather til I leave, though. It's the only thing good about Arizona!
And, I thought I'd share a picture from a charity staff vs student basketball game I played in for our school. My students came with signs and their foreheads painted with my name on it. I felt famous :)

The Blakeslee Boys Have Arrived!!!!
The boys arrived safe and sound just minutes before 8 this morning. The c-section wasn't the smoothest surgery, but looking at the boys now...I would do it all over again in a minute!!!!
Wilson Reagan (Wil)- was born at 7:56 am and 6 lbs 2 oz
Andrew Patrick (Drew) - Born at 7:58 am and 7 lbs 10 oz....YES HE WAS/IS HUGE!!!!
They are both extremely healthy and content babies. I can't believe that with 1 look at them, how quickly you can fall in love. They are just perfect.
Thank so much to all for your prayers and support... we couldn't have done it without you.
Blessings-
Dan, Gretchen, Wil and Drew (And Guinness too)!!!!
UPDATE: Some pics...

By the way, its hard to type with one hand- this is the hardest part of fatherhood, right?
