We’ve gotten a few requests lately for house pictures. I guess once we moved in, we stopped taking pictures of the house, except for some of the furniture. So I snapped a couple last night. We have grass now, but when these were taken, we hadn’t gotten the backyard yet. We also [...]
Since 9/11, I’ve done a lot of reading and studying about America’s foreign policy and the world we all live in. With Nathan’s deployment to the Middle East comes more questions and concern from everyone around me so after a conversation with Roger and Ardy this weekend, I thought I would write a bit [...]
We just got this from Roger, so I wanted to post it. I’m not sure what all he’s allowed to receive there, but I’m sure any mail would be welcome.

Grandparents can’t get enough baby pictures, so here’s the latest. You can’t make out the features very well, but it’s certainly there. And growing just like a good Boerger baby. (I wanted a nice closeup, but Gretchen wasn’t as keen on the idea.)
And just for fun, here’s a picture of our [...]
As most of you know, Nathan’s National Guard unit has been activated and they left on Monday for a few months of training at Fort Dix in New Jersey before heading overseas. As expected, it was a tough and emotional weekend, though we managed to have as much fun as was possible.
The Green household [...]
Are you thinking that I’ve somehow gone down under and fallen right off this time?? It probably seems that way & I’ve been remiss at keeping my pledge for regular updates. As it happens, I’m actually leaving tomorrow already.
For the most part, this has been a quiet trip. The weather seems to [...]
Last weekend was the formal send-off ceremony for Nathan’s National Guard unit. It was a great weekend, albeit one with some strong emotions. Nathan’s unit is being deployed in about two weeks. Knowing that both the Milbank Guard Unit and Chris Berg’s Army Unit were deployed to the Middle East and have [...]
Nothing happening tonight, so I thought it was a perfect oppotunity to do something I hadn’t gotten to do in my 2 prior trips to NZ: take in a live game of rugby!
It didn’t start out too well, as my chosen path to the stadium took me within about 150 yards of it, but [...]
It was an interesting trip down this time. Instead of flying United through San Francisco and Sydney, I flew Air New Zealand through Los Angeles and Auckland. The schedule was much better and I think it made the transition easier.
Arriving in Auckland at 5:30 AM, customs was a breeze and making my way [...]
