...we'll be getting our new assignment and off to start the next "new phase" of our life. On Friday, I went with Ann to an assignment night on base and it made me realize that our own assignment night is not too far away! [FYI- Assignment Night is when all the UPT guys find out their next base location and the plane they will be flying for their career] We only have about 3 more months until ours... July 30th!! I can't believe how fast time has flown by out here and am so excited to think that we could be moving out of Mississippi in just a few short months. I am so ready! Don't get me wrong, I have great friends here and the base is decent but other than that I am SO not made to live in Mississippi... its just a different world out here...
We won't even have a realistic idea of our new location possibilities until Jake gets his "dreamsheet" in mid-July but that hasn't stopped us from dreaming of the wonderful new places we could be stationed next. As of right now, based on some of the planes Jake is interested in, the top bases we are LOVING are Travis (California), Hurlbert (Florida), and McChord (Washington). All of these assignments are not super easy to get but, hey, we can dream right?! Two of these locations would mean us being stationed right by family, and the other... well if we can't be by family, why not be on a beautiful beach in Florida?
As life always is in the military, everything with our future is so up in the air right now... but really I don't mind it at all! I'm so excited to see where life takes us and so thankful that God is always in control. I'm faithful that His plan for my life is infinitely better than anything I could even dream up for myself :) And yep, before we know it, change will be coming... and it will find me eager and waiting!
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 :)
