As 2011 comes to an end and I look back at the year I have had some ups and a few downs. January seen the passing of my dad Frank Rutledge Sr. He is and will always be truly missed. February seen me move to the 108th Army Band.(insert band jokes here). While as the Readiness NCO of the band I worked hard to bring them up to the standard that they needed to be.
July started the last season as a parent of one of the Queen Creek Hornets Cheerleaders. Practice started in July and continued until opening day in August. The girls won State Championship in October and went to Regionals in Long Beach CA in November. Again this year they finished third overall. The girls cheered their hearts out and worked hard throughout the season. It was sad to see the end of a great dynasty in the Queen Creek area.
December seen the final sale of our house that we had owned for the past seven years. We moved the weekend before Christmas and was unable to put up all our decorations for the holidays. We did get the tree up at the old house and put it in the truck when we moved to our new house. The end of the month seen my transfer to A Co. 158th BSB. I start the new year with a new unit and hopefully my last before retirement. It was a sad day when I said goodbye to all my friends in the 198th RSG. I have been with them for ten years and have many friends that I will miss there. The good thing is that I will just be across the street and able to see them from time to time.
Lets hope the new year brings happiness and joy to all and we are here at the end of 2012.
