Aleah
and Ira- My sister Aleah and her new husband Ira live in Everrett, WA.
Aleah is currently working at the University of Washington as a Registered Nurse
in the Intensive Care ward. Ira teaches fifth grade students at a local elementary
school. Aleah and Ira were married in August, 2003. Aleah graduated from Eastern
Oregon University in 2000. Aleah is 25 now.
Crystal
and Kelly- Crystal is the closest sister to me in age. She is living
in Coquille, Oregon with her fiancé Kelly (not pictured). She is 24 years
old. Their house is minutes from the Oregon beach, which is something they love.
Kate
and Marty- Kate is my oldest sister at 30. She lives in Walla Walla,
Washington and has her own business for which she does graphic design work as
well as writing grants. Her latest project is designing a label for Colville
Wines. She also sings jazz music for her band, "The Kate Bray Quartet"
(but they're thinking of changing their name), alongside her friend Ted, an
amazing guitarist. She can also be heard on the album, "Walla Walla Rythym
Train." Kate graduated from Whitman College in Walla Walla in 1995.
Noelle
and Jason- Noelle and Jason live in Kennewick, WA, not far at all from
me. Noelle enjoys creative artwork design, and Jason enjoys working with electronics
and computers. Jason installs satellite television networks in homes for a living.
Noelle and Jason gave birth... actually just Noelle... to Gage Lee Cyree in
November 2001.
Aaron
and Amy- Aaron is my only brother. He lives with his wife Amy and his
dog Ginger near Fredericksburg, VA. Aaron and Amy both work for the same unspecified
major government organization which specializes in criminal investigations.
Amy is a paralegal and currently works in a mock-urban training environment.
Aaron is an electronics expert and is now a member of a Crisis Response group.
Some of his former positions include a position on a hostage rescue team and
a job as an electronics engineer, all with the same organization. Aaron joined
the Army after graduating from high school and became a Special Forces unit.
He then went on to graduate from MIT... Merle's Institute of Tools ( his joke,
not mine). In his spare time Aaron enjoys outdoor activities including rock
climbing, repelling, camping, back-packing, and cold weather survival training.
Deborah-
"Deborah" as some call her, is my mom. She lives in Seattle,
WA and also works at a government organization, this time specified, the Social
Security Administration. She recently recieved a permanent position as a management
worker in her office. In her spare time she reads, listens to jazz music and
James Taylor (which drives me up the wall), and does French things with her
boyfriend Moshe (i.e. wine testing, eating cheese). Mom graduated from Whitman
College in 1995 along with my sister Kate. She majored in English, which she
is clearly putting to good use.
Gage-
Gage is the newest member of my family. He is now two years old and his
favorite saying is "Uncle Joel"... but I'm not bragging or anything.
