Happenings

1. We bought a new car. It's awesome. Subaru Outback 2010. It's green, has four doors, windows that roll down, and air conditioning. They gave has 500 dollars for my car. I'm pretty sure that means we drove it until it was dead. And we'll do the same to this one. Well, Rick will. He won't ever let me drive it.

2. Rick got his assignment. We're moving to Little Rock Air Force Base, not only for training for the next 6 months like most of our friends, but for the next 3-4 years. It wasn't one of our top choices for new locations but everything tends to turn out for the best. At least if you think it will. Rick will deploy from there for the very first time, he won't have to travel for all his random training sessions there, my family is close, and, maybe most importantly, we won't have to move again in six months. Did I mention our packers/movers were coming wednesday/thursday of this week? In two days. And that we only found out ten days ago. It's like pulling off a bandaid, it's easiest if you just pull it off really quick. I'm more of a slow bandaid puller-offer so we'll just have to see.

3. Most importantly, Rick finally (FINALLY) received his wings. He's now an official Air Force pilot. Or pilot if you're a Spanish speaker. I'm so proud of him. It's been a long tough year but we made it. Now he owes me thirteen months of laundry and dishes. I kept a tally. He'll probably work that off when we're about 60 years old. Oh, and I got pearls for all of my hard work and patience.

I would load pictures of all these important events but I'm on the desktop with no pictures and probably only have about 3.5 minutes left before it explodes. And I have to go pack all of our underwear so the packers aren't rummaging through it. Thanks for the effort, but I'll pack my own panties.
