26

26...The number of days it has been since I posted for y'all to read! Horrible! I think it would be less horrible if I didn't have an alarm that goes off every evening to remind me and I have a husband who tells me I should write! I am bad! 

But here it is! We have been rather busy lately! My parents came to visit, My husband graduated from flight school, and we finally got a moving date (May 16th)

 

Of course since James graduated I got him a gift! I am so proud of him and I tried to get him something that would be cool and useful so I here is what I got hi:

A flight log book that is designed for Army Aviators. I got the plaque that is on it so he always has a reminder of how proud I am of him!


 I also got him the bottle of Gentleman Jack and a plaque reading "Congratulation Baby! Open at 1000 hours" Meaning 1000 flight hours which I read is typically around the 6 year mark!








  My parents got him the model of the UH-60 which is what he will be flying! He really liked them all which made me really happy! I am always worried I will get him something that I think is awesome and he doesn't think is! haha! 







There were so many events going on the week of graduation I felt like we were just going and going but it was so much fun! Of course there are pictures of everything and of course I feel the need to share them with y'all! But it seems my photos have decided not to upload to the blog and I don't know why. :( Maybe they will work soon and I can add them!
Well anyway!
Event 1- Extended museum tour - looking at old aircraft! I think my parents enjoyed this much more that I did but I don't mind! I love when they have a good time! 
Event 2- Night vision devices - We got to look through night vision goggles and see what James sees when he flys at night!
Event 3- Family day at the flight line- We got to go look at the Blackhawk, climb around on it, and take lots of pictures! 
Event 4- The ball- This was a but nerve racking for me as I had never really been to anything like this. We got to get dressed up and go. The part that always makes me nervous is the formal things that have to be done while you are there and I am always afraid I will not know what to do haha.   
Event 5- Graduation! YAY! James complete flight school and got his wings! I am so proud of him! He put in so much time, effort, and hard work the past year and half!  

Now we are about to move! We leave here Thursday! We are loading the UHAUL Wednesday and leaving Thursday morning! We are going to make the trip in 2 days so we should be arriving in Colorado Springs on Friday night and getting out temporary apartment (while we buy a house) on Saturday! I am so excited to be there but not so excited about the drive! I will try to post on here as we go but I am guessing after 12-14 hours of driving each day I am going to be beat! 

Hope y'all are doing well! Leave me your comments about what you think or about what you would like me to ramble about and I would be more than happy to try to take on the topic
