{1st} My computer bit the dust a couple weeks ago, so sharing one computer between my husband and myself gets to be a little hard...especially when he claims he needs it for "work." Whatever, I've seen his recent addiction to Facebook =)
{2nd} On May 6th, Bryan and his flight mates took part in their classes' Drop Night. I am not sure if i have explained Drop Night yet, so if I have, skip this part. Drop night is also known as Assignment night. One can guess that this is, indeed, where they find out what their next assignment will be. I explain this as being the most horrifically exciting event there can be. It's as if you and your business class was graduating from college with a degree, but instead of picking your own job, the Prof lines you up and points at each person and says "You get to be the CEO of a major company" and "You get to be a cashier at Walmart." Not that either one is terrible, a job, is a job. But you understand the differences of career choice...
Anyways, their theme was "Cinco de Drinko" being after Cinco de Mayo, which you can imagine is quite a holiday celebrated down here. All the guys dressed in traditional Mexican garb, and some of the wives decorated the club. It looked awesome! I decided to tape the Drop, that way our family could watch it later {so if you want copies let me know!} But I do have to warn you, it is quite shaky, but it just shows how nervous I was. Turns out I had nothing to worry about because my incredibly talented husband got his #1 choice...the AC-130 to Cannon AFB, NM. Not particularly my number one choice in bases, but we're out of THE DIRTY DEL!!
Drop Night Gear
{3rd} On May 20th, Bryan officially became a USAF Pilot! We were so blessed to have not only his parents make the trip out, but also his two sisters, our brother-in-law, niece, and Grandma! It was so great seeing everyone, and I know Bryan really appreciated everyone taking the time to come out for his special day.
The Whole Gang
Pinning on his Wings
Just something about a man in a uniform =)
{4th} We will be out of Del Rio as early as June!! So much to do, with not much time! I am actually looking forward to our big move, but will be VERY sad to say goodbye to some wonderful people, who I know will do amazing things in the world.
Again, I apologize for the lack of posts, but as you can see, we've been busy. Hope you all have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend, and please give everyone hugs from us!
