All moved in

Travis and I are about one month away from all the big events! Drop night and Graduation are both in December and then we're hopefully headed home for a good and long Christmas vacation. Granted, we'll be making that trip with two big dogs in the back of our civic packed with presents and luggage...but nothing can put a damper on the end of pilot training!

We recently moved in to a nicer and bigger house on the other side of base. Luckily the previous tenant was a friend with some incredible decorating skills. The house is fully painted and the yard is beautiful. I've been getting busy unpacking and hanging stuff. It's sorta silly to go "all out" since we may be moving in just a couple of months, but the Air Force moves us anyways so I might as well make it feel like home, right? The new neighbors are super friendly and we're being spoiled with all sorts of cookies.

Less than 2 weeks until Thanksgiving. I'm hosting my first Thanksgiving this year! David and Cassie (Trav's best friend and his out-of-town fiance) will be coming over. It's a little nerve-wracking but with a small crowd of close friends, I could probably totally butcher the turkey and they'd still tell me it was fabulous! What are friends for :)

Beginner Blogger :)

Brand new to blogging but pretty excited about it! I think it will be a quick and easy way to updated friends and family who aren't on Facebook and who don't make the weekly call list.

Travis and I are currently still in Del Rio, Texas as Trav finishes up Pilot Training. He is doing great and I am so proud of him! His "drop" date, or the date that he finds out his plane assignment is set for December 4th and Graduation is set for December 18th. We are very excited to be wrapping up the pilot training stage of our lives. We have a few first assignments in mind that we would prefer but we're ready to see what God has planned for us and happy with basically any assignment! The community here at Laughlin AFB is very welcoming and we've made many great friends. I am working for a really nice couple from our church at their real estate agency part time and also finishing my Bachelors degree in Social Psychology. I have a little over a year left of school. We have a 13 month old Golden Retriever named Leo and a 9 month old Border Collie named Millie that have become our main source of entertainment! You'll probably hear way too much about them. That's a quick update! More to come...
