Army Athlete of the Year!

I was selected as the Army Athlete of the Year for 2008!

What a whirlwind: Chris came home on Friday night and on Monday all three of us were on a plane to Florida for the Army Athlete of the Year Award presentation!
It was a truly amazing event. We attended the AUSA winter symposium and signed autographs for a few days. Then they had a lovely dinner where they officially presented the award. Here is a link to an article:



My Dad was able to attend via Skype! It meant so much to have him there. General Sullivan is speaking with him here after the ceremony.

Afterwards, we celebrated by spending three days at Disney World! Tons more pictures are on the way!
