Air Force -- Bring it on!

Lately we have been feeling more a part of the United States Air Force, we realize it will be a big part of our life for quite some time.

We will be moving to Oklahoma anytime between May and next February, for Pilot training and then be contracted, moving about every 3 years, for the 10 years after that. Some where in there Justin will be deployed. There are pros and cons to being part of the military but Justin and I are ready to face it together with our little boy whatever may come. We have a deep desire to serve and defend our blessed country and yet we have started to feel the military's control and influence in our life. It is not necessarily a bad thing, but something to get used to. I definitely am gaining more and more respect and reverence for those who have and are serving in the military. It will be quite the ride -- but we say BRING IT ON! We know God will be behind all parts of the plan. I am so grateful for the knowledge we have as members of Christ's church on the earth today.




February 18th Justin had the TriDet competition at the University of Utah. Justin competed in the pushup, flag football, and questionnaire competitions. He gave his best effort, might have not felt that great about his performance, but I was sure proud of him.  I enjoyed getting to know the other spouses of cadets and do look forward to getting to know a variety of people, cultures, and countries as we serve in the Air Force. I know we will build awesome relationships wherever we go. I just hope we can keep in touch with everyone. This blog will hopefully help.

Justin also had a racquetball tournament the night before!  It was fun to watch him. He didn't win any matches and was frustrated with his playing, but turned it into determination to work harder, and was reminded it is okay to lose once in a while (he doesn't lose very often).

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

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...

Sam screams when we walk away from the swing - He loves swinging! He loves when we peep through the different holes Yes, he is crawling right to the slide, letting himself down head first

A different Halloween!

Image
This year was a very different Halloween for each of us in quite a few ways. In preparing for it we had Sam in his costume a week in advance.....  Justin and I attended a Halloween Party the Saturday before, helping us to have costumes ready I was planning to have us dress up as a threesome, but Justin and I were attending the party without Sam. Next year we will for sure! Can you guess who we are? Justin, you can, what about me? "Does Waldo have a wife?" Was the question I got most of the night -- ha ha. I am Carmen San Diego, you know Where's Waldo and Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? Thank you pinterest. We were joined by our good neighbors the Zambranos and we thank the Kearns for such a fun party! There were a lot of fun couples costumes. Tuesday, Oct 30th, I attended the Zombie Fun Run -- Walked the 1 mile with Minta and Jessica -- which was fun and entered Sam into the Costume Contest at the Fall Festival. That night...
