POC vs. GMC -- Competition -- Air Force



March 25th, 2011

Justin and I had a blast at the Air force POC GMC challenge. ("General Military Course" and "Professional Officer Course") Justin is a POC now. The GMCs and POCs have different game competitions to see who wins at these events. The games this evening included: ping pong, air hockey, crud(pool table game), and some kind of Nintendo game. I decided to tag along. I found out these competitions are similar to powder puff. Usually, if not always the POC win.

The top picture (3 girls) include me, Mandi, and Shaylee Kulikowski. Us girlfriends and wives hung close together. We had fun watching our men compete and getting in some good girl chat.

The middle picture (pool table) A POC team vs a GMC team for a game of crud. An exciting game to watch, and yes, the POC won! Check out the handsome guy in the white on the left, ya, he's mine!

And the final picture! Justin and I played crud with the other girls and their companions and then we played against just each other. 1st game .... Melissa wins! Of course we must play again, second game ..... Justin wins. We definitely need to play a tie breaker. The third game. . . . . . .
drum roll please...... haha, neither of us can remember - shoot, I need to do this more often.

But it is good to see we don't rub in the winnings, even if we get rather competitive.

Justin and I have great times playing games or simply competing. Justin has this amazing talent of coming up with games or challenges anywhere and with anything- no wonder the nieces and nephews love him. Just to name a few:
Who can catch the most racquetballs in a cup? (passing back and forth)
Who can catch the most footballs rolling down a playground slide out of 5?
Who can get ready for bed the quickest? We literally race to bed every night and claim ourself victorious when we are the one who wins. -- the only thing bad about this one, is it winds us up before trying to fall asleep.
Who's March Madness bracket will win? -- I won this one and yes he did dishes for one whole week!

Justin is truly my best friend! It's amazing how much more I love him after 6 months of marriage and our love continues to grow. ....

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

Image
It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, lear...

Nashville, TN - January 30 to February 1

Image
Justin passed his check ride with flying colors and he had a couple days off. So, we took the chance to go to Nashville, Tennessee! Our friends Trevor and Keely Park live there and we thought it would be a fun place to go see. Most of Justin's time off has been spent in Utah with family, which we love, but it was nice to be just the three of us The trip was 5 and 1/2 hours - that's w/o stops. On the way there we made it in 7 hours and on the way back we made it in about 9 hours. Let's just say we're good to not have another road trip for a while. Sam was a champ despite the long time in his car seat.  Our first stop was a science museum - we were there for 3 hours. It was fun for all of us.  These are parachute men Sam could move up and have them fall back down by using pullies.  Sam loved this T-Rex. It moved and made noises. Yes it scared him at first but Justin was good to explain it to Sam. Each time we passed it, which was often, we would be there for ...

Having Twins

Image
For the past month I have had twins! Well, kind of. Leo spends his Monday - Friday from 7:30- 3:30ish at our place and is 1 month younger than Sam. I've never really desired to have twins and I still feel that way, but it has been quite a learning experience and a lot of fun to have our friend Leo join Sam and I. Sam has thoroughly enjoyed having a playmate. I considered the pros and cons as I pondered and prayed about if it was right for our family and the pros weighed out and felt right. I love being a stay at home mom, most days :), and did not want to steer in any direction of not giving my full attention to my kids (right now, Sam) at home. It's so easy to forget the importance of the work at home and desire the success and accomplishments of the world. So easily I can compare my worth to what I bring in money wise or what projects I finish. Being a mom, some days you don't get much of anything "done" even if you feel exhausted at the end of the day, and I ...
