It's been another milestone birthday for Matt. You might be thinking that 31 is no big deal or what is so milestone about that? BUT it was for us....Matt submitted his RAD on his birthday. RAD is the Navy way of saying he submitted his resignation papers. So now we wait and hope they accept them....they could say no and make him stay in, but that is HIGHLY unlikely. As much as we think Matt is irreplacable there is a 99.9% chance that the NAVY doesn't agree with us. So it looks like June 1, 2011 Matt will be a civilian.
Oh and if you are wondering what other life events happened on his birthday here is a list.
20th - qualified as a nuclear operator
25th - brought Sydney home from the hospital
30th - qualified EDO/EOOW
31st - submitted paperwork to get out of the Navy! ( I was thinking we were going to have to wait 5 more years before we had a notable birthday event, but Matt surprised us and it's a life changing event so we are counting it!)
On another note he got some cool new kickers for his birthday.

So what kind of plans do the Van Horns have for civilian life?? I'm sure whatever God has planned, you will all do it well. :)
Matt's plan is send me back to work and he will be the stay-at-home Dad! We'll see how long he lasts :)
