This is my blog. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Just a quick note to update you on what is going on. My report date for the Civil Affairs Q-course is in April 2013. (I had originally planned to attend the December 2012 class, but it filled up too fast.) So things have been pushed back just a bit. My wife is expected to have our son here in Germany around the November timeframe. We hope to PCS Germany in February 2013, and report to Bragg sometime in March. Also, my book should be coming out in Feb 2013, so we have a very exciting year ahead of us! I pray that everything works out.

It's a boy!

My wife and I just found out that we will be having a baby boy! It was awesome to be able to see the ultrasound, and to hear the heartbeat. I had to miss the last appointment due to work, and so I hadn't seen the baby since my wife was 7 weeks along. Now, at 21 weeks, I am amazed at how much the baby has grown! My wife and I are very excited. The baby's name will be Liam Phillip Harmon. His due date is around 1 November. I will try to post pictures of the ultrasound soon. It's hard to believe that in just 5 short months I will be a father! I have always wanted to be a father, and to have a family of my own. I just hope that I will make a great dad. I pray that I will always know how to juggle family life and the military. I want to always be there for my children. I want them to know that, no matter what, I will always love them!

CA Selection Course (Update)

I made it! I just passed the rigorous 10-day Civil Affairs selection course! I am not allowed to give out any details, so please don't ask. I will say that the course is no joke. If you are planning on going anytime soon, I recommend that you start preparing NOW. Talk to the CA recruiters if you have any questions on what to expect. So, what's the next step for me? I am waiting to receive a report date to begin the Q-course. I should know something by next week (hopefully!). My wife is due to have our first baby around November, so the plan is to PCS back to the States before then so that she can have the baby in America. (Pray that I will be able to be there with her when the baby is born.) Speaking of baby, my wife and I will be going to the doctor in about three weeks to find out what we are having!!!
