A big shout out to 2nd Lieutenant Jeremy Geyer!!!!
Avery, Lerran, and I had the joy of going to Colorado Springs, Co over memorial day to see my whole family and especially to see Jeremy (aka Uncle J) graduate from the Air Force Academy! Sadly Todd had to miss the festivities because of a crazy amount of may/june weddings (he was missed!!!).
We had some other great times while we were there in Colorado, mainly just beautiful sights and great times with family!
Avery and Lerran have the best uncles in the world!!
David and Lerran at Garden of the gods. REALLY gorgeous!

Sadly Todd had to miss the festivities because of a crazy amount of may/june weddings (he was missed!!!).All of us Gayer kids after the graduation parade, all of the pomp and circumstance of a military celebration was so much fun to watch! It was awesome to be in a truly patriotic place! I love America!
This was a family picture taken before Jeremy's swearing in ceremony. This was a really special evening, it was just his squadron (about 100 cadets, 30 or so graduating). It was intimate and each graduate was individually sworn in and then had their leuitenant stripes pinned on by their parents! We were all so proud of J!!! After that we put the kiddos to bed and headed out for a family celebration dinner! At which we all gave toasts and had a beautiful time as a family. My dad's words to Jeremy were very moving (as were everybody's) but he just so much encouraged him to go from here and pursue the Lord above all else and be a godly man! a truly great evening!
The graduation ceremony was insane. President Bush was the speaker, which was really neat and he did a great job! The crazy thing was it was raining and 40 degrees (and i only had sun dresses for the girls :O) and we were in lock down by the secret service because of the President. But 4 hours and many bags of starburst and licorice later we made it..it was great! Definately the most memorable moment of the whole time was when Jeremy recieved his diploma, he politely saluted the president, shook his hand and then chest bumped him!!!!! It was awesome!!! He was the first to do it and it was so fun to watch, President Bush was very candid and casual with the Cadets...it was great!!!
Thunderbirds flew overhead right when the graduates were officially announced and they all threw their caps in the air...very fun!
Congrats little bro, I'm so proud of you!!! I love this picture of Jeremy looking back at the academy! He was quite ready to leave those beautiful mountains and move on! He will be attending flight school in Columbus, MS after his leave this summer, in which he has been gallivanting all over Europe!!
