Douglas Update

Doug has 12 more days of Officer Training. We are counting down. We are able to talk to Doug every night and enjoy the stories he has to share with us. This weekend their class was allowed third class privileges. (For those that this means nothing to......this allows him to wear civilian clothes and go off base) He said that it will be nice to sit in church in a white shirt and tie again after two weeks of his ABU's (Airman Battle Uniform or camo). Yes my life has turned into vegetable soup. We have made a PCS move (permanent change of station). Doug is TDY (Temporary Duty) in COT (Commissioned Officer Training) at Maxwell AFB (Air Force Base). I feel like I am learning a new language. I swear this stuff needs to come with a dictionary. The other big Douglas news it that he can wear his Blues now. Doesn't he look good.

Splash Park

This last week we got out to see what our new hometown had to offer. We love that we live a half mile from the library, grocery store, and Costco. But the big winner was the splash park that is just a mile away. The boys played for two hours and would only agree to leave when I had to beg off with a headache.

4th of July

After a crazy few days of unpacking, the boys and I decided that we deserved a day off. It just so happened that it came on the 4th of July. (I wonder who planned that out????) So we headed to Nellis Air Force Base where there were activites of many number, lots of food, and fireworks. We didn't know a soul but enjoyed ourselves anyway.
