This weekend was one of the best weekends Iv had in a long time. I got to spend the whole time with my husband, going on different little adventures all in different states :) We didn't go far though....
Friday we headed to Bainbridge GA, an awesome little town that we think will look alot like Savannah! It was so cute and historic looking with brick streets lined with cool little shops and diners, and roads with huge live oaks draped over them! We went there to meet with a lady and buy our new car!! We got a white (my favorite color for cars) 2007 Toyota Camry. I like it! Its alot different from my little BMW ha ha! But Its a really nice car and hopefully it will last us a long time, that is, if Jesse doesn't get the itch to sell it and find something different ;)
Saturday we packed up our new car and headed down to Destin Florida! We went to Henderson Beach State Park! Its a nice little beach that's always clean and not nearly as crowded as public access beaches. It was such a gorgeous day, perfect for the beach! It was hot, but a little windy, which was nice to keep us cool, and the water felt awesome! I wanted to stay all day, but its a good thing we didn't because poor Jesse got a pretty bad sun burn =( So Iv been lathering him in aloe twice a day since then, trying to get him ready for his PT test on Tuesday! Poor boy, I feel so bad!
It was a really fun day though, but long! We got home, got cleaned up and hopped in bed, and I was passed out by 8:00 =) Its so funny; Jesse always tells me I'm like a little kid when it comes to "bed time" because I'm never tired and I always want to stay up later and I get these little burst of energy at night. Well I guess his theory was proven true by this: he took me to the beach and let me play all day and I came home and passed out before bed time, just like a little kid would have =D
Sunday we were planning on going to church, but were bad people and slept in instead. I got up and made pancakes and coffee and we had our own little church after breakfast. We cleaned up the house, laid around for a while and decided to have a little bbq for dinner! We got a grill last summer and haven't used it since then ha ha, so we wanted to get some use out of it before fall comes. We headed into town and get some groceries and then came home to start cooking! We had grilled chicken, baked beans, deviled eggs, potato wedges, water melon and iced tea!!! We have become quite the typical southern family :) But we love it.

Flight School is Finished!!!
When I first met Jesse, he was at the beginning stage of applying to flight school. He talked about it alot, he was nervous and not sure that he would get in, I knew he would :) I remember him going to interviews, writing papers, and traveling to other bases to get medical exams. It was amazing to see how hard he worked and how ambitious he was to get in.
Then came the down fall, he got accepted and I got rejected! He broke up with me in a park down the street from his parents house. I was so heart broken and so confused that I didn't understand his reasoning. He told me that he would be gone for 2 years in flight training and then another 6 years traveling for the army. He said he was going to be so busy that he didn't think he could keep up with a long distance relationship, he also told me that I was young and just starting college and he thought that I would eventually change my mind about him anyways. I was devastated!!!
Well about two weeks later we got back together and he told me he loved me for the first time :) what a brat! After that, the reality of everything started to kick in, he was leaving and I was staying here without him. I wasn't sure how things were going to work out with him being gone for so long, but I knew I wanted to try.
He left in December for WOCS school, the longest 7 weeks of my life. It was actually supposed to be around 10 weeks but I drove down to Alabama early to see him! The first time I had seen him in 7 weeks, but it felt like 7 years! It was one of the most amazing moments of my life.
Then we got engaged (I honestly wasn't expecting it at all) and married 2 months later. I moved down to Alabama with him to began our married life together. That is when the actual flight training began. June 2010. Its been crazy. Its been hard, fun, long hours, lots of studying and stressful days and nights, but through it all he has remained the same person, and I love that about him. The only married life I have ever known is to a flight student! And now its over, and I cant believe it! Im not just a flight students wife, im a pilots wife! How awesome is that!!!! Everything I have ever watched Jesse work for, is complete, he has followed his dreams and achieved so much! I'm so happy for him and so proud of him! He has honestly been such an inspiration to me and I am so thankful to have him as such a big part of my life.
I'm so excited to move to Georgia and start a new chapter in our life together :)
Flight School is Finished.
PS: Not only did Jesse get into flight school and get the helicopter and location of choice, he also finished on top!!! Im so proud :)

Im only 20.
Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that I'm only 20. Iv been having to do it alot lately actually. I get into these phases where I feel like I am so behind on life! I feel like everyone is moving forward and I am just stuck. Then I realize that this "everyone" that I compare myself too are people that are at least 25! I need to stop trying to catch up with people who are 5+ years ahead of me and take my time being 20.
I don't know anyone here that is my age. I'm hoping that once we move and I start up in school that I can meet some people that are at least closer in age with me. I thought it would be like that when I started school here in AL, but almost everyone there was OLD! And not mid 20's old, like 35+ old.....so hopefully Savannah will have some younger, more lively people.
I hate to complain, but not really, because I know that its normal. I know that anyone in my position would want the same thing.

Trying Again
Some people have a way with words, unfortunately I am not one of them. That is probably the reason why my countless blog attempts have failed. I am hoping this one will be different, I have accepted the fact that I am not as "smooth" as others when it comes to writing, but that it shouldn't stop me from telling my funny stories and sharing my overly girly feelings. So here it is, a quick catch up on whats going on in my life...
I still have no idea what I want to do with my life. Every once in a while Ill come up with some sort of master plan and fall in love with it and learn all about it and start to tell Jesse all about what I'm gonna be when I grow up...a few days later the plan gets old and fizzles out and I'm left confused and frustrated for a day or two, and then I start to formulate a new plan.
The only thing I learn through this process is something I already know...I love making plans. I love making list, writing down ideas, time lines, etc. I'm just not sure if making plans will get me anywhere in life if I never go through with them.
Jesse is finally finishing up flight school! He has his final check ride on Tuesday, and then he is an official Black Hawk pilot! I'm so proud of him, he has done amazing throughout this whole process and kept a great attitude every step of the way. His family and best friend are coming down in a few weeks to watch him graduate, I amexcited and so happy for him :)
After Graduation were heading up to Michigan to visit for a few days and then heading back home to pack up and move to Savannah Ga!! Were both really excited about that, but its going to be sad leaving behind so many memories in our first home together here in Alabama.
I cant believe we have been married for over a year now, we had our one year anniversary back in May. It feels so unreal that were even married in the first place! It is amazing though. Its going to be weird adjusting to a real lifestyle once Jesse is out of school and we move to Savannah. I'm hoping it will be much better because he wont be so busy with training and studying all time. Its going to feel amazing having him home more often, Iv gotten so used him being all day and lately, almost all night!
We love our kitty Buddy! As lame as it sounds, he is such a big part of our little family:) He makes us laugh ALL the time. Yes he makes me mad at times, (when he messes up my perfectly placed rugs 30 times a day or knocks over the bathroom trash can so he can play with an empty toilet paper roll) but Iv grown to love him just as much as Jesse does. Buddy totally favors Jesse though, he's actually quite obsessed with him! They spoon at night...yeah I get jealous.
Well that's about all I can think of at the moment, but hopefully I wont totally forget about this and Ill be back soon to share more!
