Disney World...Holla

After Ryan's graduation from JASOC we traveled to Orlando by car from Alabama to the place where dreams come true.

There we met up with our friends from Houston The Hunts.



We stayed @ Windsor Hills Resort in a pretty snazzy condo (with a super sweeeeeet pool - shown above), had a week long VACAE filled with excitement & just enough food in our kitchen!

More too come...

Washington D.C.

We were able to travel to D.C. and wow was I (Amanda) impressed at the city. Just looking at the architecture alone was enough for me to be happy with my trip.

We had so much to do and so little time to do it. We were not able to see everything that we wanted to see but we had an enjoyable experience nonetheless.

Sweet Home Away From Home Alabama

We Malnar's are back home after being away from home for quite some time (Ryan - 2 months) (Amanda & Keedan - 1 month & 1 week).

Ryan was in Alabama for some training and Keedan and I went up to stay with the wonderful Sullivan family until Ryan's training was complete.

Here are pics of our time in AL.

The Entertainment for the night was fabulous. Skits inspired by people from JASOC were performed.


Ryan was part of the various skits and did a wonderful job imitating a guy that was always texting while at training.

Ryan very excited to be finished with training.


We were all happy on Graduation Day!!!
