Army Ranger

My baby is a RANGER! Being at his Ranger graduation was awesome and I was full with pride in my amazing husband! He sure endured a lot (and you can tell just by looking at him) and is proud to claim he made it!
I am especially grateful to him for never getting recycled and returning home to me as soon as he could! I sure missed him!!! Our reunion was so exciting. My dad made sure to capture the moment :)

My wonderful family drove out from Utah all the way to Georgia for his graduation. It was so fun to be with them and for them to be able to see and support Chaz's great accomplishments. We rented a chalet at Ft. Benning and it was ever so AMAZING! It was beautiful inside and out and such an awesome place to relax and catch up with one another. Then we headed to Ft Rucker for Chaz to out process and we stayed in another cabin there on Lake Tholocco. It too was just amazing. We all loved spending time together. Chaz sure loved it too, even though he sure did sleep a lot! :) What can you expect though when he hasn't slept in 2 months? ;)
What a wonderful graduation. Chaz- we are so proud of you!!!! Marek wore a shirt that said "When I grow up I wanna be a Ranger!" and I wore a shirt that said "I am a Ranger Wife!" Dad and Michael bought a ton of Ranger/army hats and gear in support and excitment as well. Mom had a hay day in the military store stocking up on gloves and hats for the wintery cold! :)
Thanks Kunzler family for coming out and sharing in this once in a lifetime experience with us! And thank you to all of our other family members and friends who have supported us greatly through this time! We love you all!

I am so proud of you guys!! Chaz...for making it through so successfully! You rock! And... Sara...for letting him go for so long, despite the move and being pregnant. You guys are such a great team! I knew it would take someone pretty dang awesome to be married to my brother. I'm so glad he found you, Sara! You fit the bill and more!

I am so proud of both of you! Sara you are inspirational for how positive you remained during his absence. You went through some rough stuff, but you kept your head up! Chaz - we all knew you were tough! Congratulations on making it through 1st time.
