Anyway, I need to get to the real point of this posting. We had been planning to talk to the couple we wanted to be Stella's godparents for a while. We've been friends with Emily and Marcus Seiser for about five years now, after we arrived at Fort Stewart. Emily was definitely my closest friend there, both of us complaining about being Army wives, being stuck in crappy Fort Stewart, and generally amusing ourselves gossiping about annoying (and bizarre) neighbors in the oh-so-wonderful Marne Homes area of the post. If you ever lived in Marne Homes, you know what I'm talking about...
Marcus and Derek, I think, are long lost soul mates, and their performance of "Regulators" will live in infamy. Either way, we couldn't have asked for better friends, and I'm so thankful that we've been able to support each other through military woes. We finally got the chance to talk to them last night, and they were very happy to accept the title. Of course, it immediately turned to jokes about the Godfather movies, but that's to be expected. Here we all are (both of the guys actually not deployed, and Emily and I looking ever-so-happy) after Derek got back from his deployment in February 2009:
We knew they'd be perfect, and we're also so happy that Marcus has just a couple weeks of Army duty left. I remember how insanely relieved we were! We can't wait for them to come back for Stella's baptism this late spring/early summer. Yay! :D
