...we wanted to announce our decision

...to all of you family and friends who have really been so patient with us.

This decision process has not been easy:

The distance between Mark and I, the dropped phone calls, the poor-quality Skype sessions with the kids, the many, many emails and texts between us....

There were so many email exchanges Mark has had with West Point and both schools (students and faculty at both schools)...

The fact that he is in Af-ghan-is-tan and there was this little process called the elections he was busy with...

All of these factors have complicated our decision process.

Without further adieu...

Hail to the Victors Valiant.

Go Blue.

Er..Uh...

I mean Go Green!

Let the rivalry continue!!
