Long-term plans include buying a house, getting a dog, starting a farm, and opening a cafe and market. I'll be calling you all for business investment opportunities! Wish everyone the best in their own grand adventures!" … Erika Langetieg sends this news: "I've recently been relocated to southern California by my company. I'm in the middle of transition, so maybe I'll have some more news once I'm settled!" … Emily Lockwood sends this news: "After almost ten years in DC, I moved out to Denver in June. I'm still in politics, working for EMILY's List, an organization that elects Democratic women to office. I'm doing a lot of hiking and running – getting ready for my first marathon in October! Hope everyone is well." … Jon Boyle writes: "Greetings, everyone. I hope this finds you all well. I'll just thank Brooke up front for helping me get my act together and write in. I am currently still in Iraq; however, by the time this magazine is published I will be home. Our 12 months will come to an end in early October, but I actually hope to be home by the end of September. The deployment has had its challenges and rewards, but I think it's safe to say that I cannot wait to be reunited (permanently) with Maggie, Jack, and Susie. I was fortunate enough to take my two weeks of leave at the tail end of July and early part of August. This coincided with Jack and Susie's 2nd birthday. It's hard to believe that they are two already. As for our future, Maggie and I have decided to transition out of the Army and rejoin the civilian sector. Where this will take us is unknown, but we are very much looking forward to NOT saying goodbye to each other for a year at a time anymore. I was sorry to miss everyone at the reunion, but it sounds like you all had a great time. Maybe our 15th in 2014. Again, I hope all is well and look forward to linking up with you when I get home. Take care." … Neely Wakeman writes: "Summer has been flying by. In the midst of enjoying the beach and the ocean I've been getting everything in order before grad school starts.
