Air Force Thunderbirds

With all the excitement of launching my new site, I never got a chance to tell you all about the super fun weekend I had! Last Saturday and Sunday our base hosted an air show featuring the amazing Air Force Thunderbirds and on Friday night, we actually got to go to a party at the Club on base to welcome the Thunderbirds! It was really cool to meet the people who pilot the jets and do all those crazy flying maneuvers. On Saturday, Jake and I spent the whole day at the air show and had a blast! Tons of planes flew in (including Jake's top two choices for his assignment) and we got to walk around and check them out. I love looking at planes and always end up asking Jake a million questions about each of them. Planes just really fascinate me and it still blows my mind that Jake gets to fly one every single day. Maybe if we win the lottery one day I will take some flying lessons :) Later that afternoon, the Thunderbirds took to the sky and I stood there in awe watching them. There's something so inspiring and patriotic about seeing them fly. And it was really cool on Sunday watching them fly again right over our backyard.

Below are some pictures from the air show. I'm trying out a new javascript photo gallery for my blog posts. To see what I mean, click on one of the pictures below... Cool right?

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 :)

Lindsay said...: Hahaha Surprisingly there was no KC-10 there! But the C-17 was from Travis :) Thats actually our top choice right now... C-17 to Travis... it would be so awesome to be stationed with you guys!
