Update on Jeremy...

So, I thought I would just give a little update on Jeremy. He is at Tech School right now in Mississippi. He has been there for a month now and he's loving it. He is in classes right now for Air Traffic Control, he's really enjoying it the classes. There are 5 blocks during tech school, the first few blocks are about 8 days or so and then they get longer. In each block they learn something different. Jeremy just finished block one, he got a 92% on his test. I'm very proud of him. He is trying to go for Honor Grad just like he got at Basic Training. He's very smart so I know he can do whatever he puts his mind too.
Yesterday he started block two. They also have phases while they are there. There are 3 phases. Phase one they have to stay in uniform at all times outside of their dorm room, they can't leave base and they have a curfew of 10:00pm on weekends. Phase 2 they can wear civilian clothes, leave the base only in uniform and have a curfew of 12:00pm on weekends. And phase 3 they can wear civilian clothes, go off base in civilian clothes and stay in a hotel or apartment. So, right now Jeremy is in phase 2 which he will be finishing up and going to phase 3 next Monday, which is perfect because I'm moving to Mississippi next Wednesday and I will be driving 3 days with my parents and getting there on Friday and Jeremy will be able to stay the weekend at my apartment. Yay! I'm super excited!!
If everything goes smoothly with his classes and he doesn't have any breaks in between blocks then his expected graduation date is Sept. 3rd and he will be able to go home on the following Monday Sept. 7th which is my 21st birthday. What a great birthday present! =]
We still don't know where we will be stationed yet. Hopefully in the next few weeks we will find out. I'm very excited!

One of those Monday's...

Today was just one of those Monday's. Not a whole lot going on, kind of a lazy day. This morning I went in the pool with my nieces and nephews, 2 sisters and brother in-law. It was a lot of fun, but the rest of the day was pretty boring. I've been packing up my stuff to move next week...I'm ready to go now!! I wish the time would go quicker...but when you're really excited about something it seems to go slow.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a great Monday!! =]

Family Picnic!!

Today was our family/friend picnic. It was tons of fun!! But of course, like I said in my last post it was missing one thing...Jeremy! It was definitely hard not having him there, especially when his family came...I know how much he wanted to be there, so I took pics with my phone and sent them to him...but I think that might have made it worse. :(

When we first got to the park to set up, it was looking pretty gloomy and it was windy and cold. About a half an hour later it started pouring down rain! What a great day for a picnic. Lol. We all huddled under the canopy until it stopped. Luckily it only poured for about 5 minutes and then passed and the sun came out...and dried up all the rain...and the itsy bitsy...oh sorry! Hehe.

We all kept praying that God would give us a beautiful day and he definitely did that for us. We had somewhere around 40-50 people there. It was awesome! We had tons of food and games. There was a big volley ball game going and ladder golf...have you ever heard of ladder golf? It's actually pretty fun!

I was playing with the kids most of the time...that's my favorite thing to do, especially the twins...who are 9 months old yesterday! yay! Such big boys! :) There birthday is just two days before mine...I feel so special.
I took lots of happy baby pictures!





Oh, and we also had an egg toss...that was pretty fun. My 3 year old nephew Landon was my partner the first game. He's pretty good! He kept dropping it and it never broke! Oh...it was hard boiled? Aww.... :)


Then I was partners with my brother in-law Mark, he kept telling me to throw it high and give it an arch...that's what I did and as soon as it hit his hand...splat!!

Not my fault Mark, you told me to throw it like that!! :)

So, the day was full of lots of fun, games, food and giggles! Oh and a little bit of a wrestling match...



Thanks God for the beautiful day!! :)

My first blog...

Well this is my first blog. I think my life is somewhat boring right now but Shannon thinks "I'm just so totally cool" :) So, thanks Shannon! I appreciate it.

It might take me a little while to get used to this thing so I apologize!

I'm really excited about moving to Mississippi!! Can you believe it? I never thought in a million years I would be living there, but it should be fun...and the best part is...I get to be with the most amazing person alive...My hubby! yay!! It's been three months since I've gotten to live with him. Man, it feels like a lifetime. I'm so glad we decided to do this.
And in just a short week since we decided this, everything is done! We have our apartment ready for us when I get there! Woo! And something that's even more fantastic is my friend Laura is living there too. She lives in the apartment on the floor right below me...yay!. I was worried about living somewhere completely new on my own, so it will be nice to have another Air Force wife with me. I can't believe I'm leaving in just 12 days, that is so soon! I'm so happy all my family is here these next two weeks. Both my sister's and their families and my brother all came down to visit...perfect timing!! I get one last big hooray with everyone before I leave. :)
But man has this house been crazy! We have 6 kids here in my parents house and they are all under the age of 5! It's a mad house...I feel like I'm back teaching at the preschool. Lol
But I love it and I wouldn't change it for anything. It is so much fun.
As soon as I figure our how to post pictures...I will totally do that. He-he.
Tomorrow is our huge family/friend picnic at the park....that should be fun! I still can't believe that Jeremy and I started this annual picnic 5 years ago. When we were only dating for 6 months we really wanted our families to meet so we had everyone meet at the park for a picnic and we have just been keeping it going every year since, and it keeps growing! But the only thing missing this year...is Jeremy! :( I know he so wishes he could be there with us and so do we. So, I will be taking TONS of pictures for him.
Well I'm getting pretty tired, I feel like I'm writing in a diary. Lol. So, there's a little bit about what's been going on with me lately. I will blog how the picnic goes tomorrow! =]
