I had a little bit of downtime this afternoon so I thought I would investigate this new place Jake and I are moving to. I've never been anywhere in the south and have always had this movie-themed, western kind of picture in my head of what Mississippi would be like. I kind of figured it would be a whole different world and that I would never relate. While some of that might be true, as I know I will be in culture shock without Nordstrom and Starbucks (hehe...), it actually looks like a very fun and beautiful place. The town and base have tons of activities and fun things to do. For a while I think it will kind of feel like camp...me filling my days with little activities and adventures, meeting new friends, and feeling a little out of my element. It seems like a lot of stuff that goes on in the city and on base is just my style!
I'm including some links that tell a little about where I'm going, if you are interested in checking it out. The first one is the city of Columbus' website: http://www.columbus-ms.org/ This gives miscellaneous pictures and info about the city around the base. Looks cute right? The second link will take you to the pdf file for the base events newsletter for November and December: http://www.cafbservices.com/Events/cal%20Nov%20Dec08.pdf There seems like so much fun stuff to do! I'm totally liking this whole air force wife thing :)
Maybe I am overly optimistic but like I said, I am SO excited and ready for this new adventure!
Blog Timeline
Here's a little guide to how my life has evolved since this blog first started back in 2008. Looking back now, I've gone through some very distinct and significant chapters. The archives at the bottom follow along accordingly :)
December 2008-July 2010:
Graduating from college, experiencing life as newlyweds, moving to the far-away land of Mississippi, enduring the hectic lifestyle of Air Force pilot training, discovering my passion for web design, and transitioning into life as a real "grown-up".
August 2010- December 2010:
Moving back in with my parents in California while Jake was away at training in Oklahoma, living in a complete state of "limbo", growing my newly launched web design business, and loving life back on the best coast - oops! - I mean west coast ;)
January 2011- March 2012:
Discovering what it's like to have life-altering medical issues, struggling through tragic loss, physical pain, emotional pain, never-ending doctor's appointments and medical tests, all while trying to start our new life at Travis AFB... Learning to trust God even in the darkest times and constantly praying for healing.
April 2012- Present Day:
Experiencing healing from my physical pain, enjoying a career that I absolutely love, making the most wonderful friends here at Travis, and striving to live every single day to the FULLEST. God is so good! John 10:10 - Read it :)
