It's official I am on vacation and heading to California tomorrow morning! I haven't seen my family or friends since Thanksgiving and that is wayyy too long to be apart. I'll only be home for 4 days this time because thats all I could swing with work but that gives me 4 whole days to love on all my family and friends. I AM SO EXCITED!!
On a different note, I am finding myself nervous to go home with these awful braces on my teeth :/ I've gotten used to having them but I think thats majorly due to the fact that the people I see everyday are now used to me having them. Nobody here notices anymore. But when I get around someone who is seeing me in braces for the first time, I suddenly am very aware of the fact that I have braces which makes me talk even weirder and get all self conscious! Oh goodness. Bear with me folks.
In dog news, Bailey ate a whole tube of Blistex last night which was pretty traumatizing for me. She literally dug it out of my purse when I wasn't looking and demolished the whole thing before I noticed. I thought for sure she would be really sick but thank goodness she was okay. I swear I can't take my eyes off her for two seconds!
And I bet you're wondering how my handsome hubby is doing these days? Well he's good overall but unfortunately he's more stressed than ever this week. On Monday he will have his last BIG checkride in the T-1 and how he does on it plays a huge part in determining our next location - Eek! Everyone says for Jake not to stress about it but that's sooo much easier said than done. Heck, I'm stressed about it and I'm not even the one flying! At this point, we are both just so beyond ready for pilot training to be over. Jake is excited to finally have some free time again and I am looking forward to seeing my husband again. Sure he has physically been here this whole year but mentally he is not my usual Jake. Right now he is a ball of stress and I want my goofball back!! 5 weeks until assignment night and I'm counting down every minute!
Well I suppose I should get back to packing and preparing for my trip. I don't think it's really hit me yet that I'll actually be back in California tomorrow. I seriously think I left my heart back on the west coast :) Hope you all have a fabulous week... I'll be back with details of my trip on Wednesday!!
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 :)
