What A Great Couple Of Weeks!

Whew! I feel like the last two weeks have been crazy...I guess they have! I wanted to blog about S's first birthday party but the week seemed to slip through my hands, so I'll recap! S had his first birthday on the 17th and we were lucky to have wonderful friends and my mom, join us for a cowboy themed party. Before all the fun started I held his birthday at a building on base. My mom and I went over early to decorate so we wouldn't have to rush, let's just say that didn't work out! I was in such a hurry I locked the keys to the building and my car keys inside the building so my wonderful husband walked over with S in tow and contacted someone to unlock the door. He definitely saved the day! The party went well and it's amazing how quickly they grow up. After the party we went back to the house and got a couple hours of rest, then we were off to the combat dining out, which was SO much fun! The squadron we're apart of did a flash mob that my friend and I choreographed. It looked great and it was a ton of fun! A couple weeks before S's birthday party my husband submitted his dream sheet for our next assignment, probably the most nerve racking time in my life! I felt like it was a roller coaster ride up until he got his assignment. One minute we feel confident about our list then the next minute you have no clue how things are going to turn out. But I'm happy the waiting is over! My husband got his first choice! Our squadron commander played a joke on my husband and told him he got another plane (not the B-1) I felt so sorry for my husband, as he was walking away his commander told him to turn around and held up a picture of the B-1, I was shaking so badly because I couldn't believe it! Well played Lamo! Now it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders. It's crazy to think we moved here in July 2007, he became and instructor, and he's now going to be a B-1 pilot. It's been such a wild ride, but I can say these past two weeks have been so much fun and we've built wonderful memories. It still hasn't hit me that we're moving soon and I can say whole heartedly that I'm going to miss the amazing squadron we're apart of and all of my friends. Of course I'm scared to leave my safety net but I know I'll be ok. I feel so blessed to have had a great couple of weeks and that I was able to share it with so many wonderful people!
