Early September

Life has been extra busy since September1st, and its going to stay extra busy until the middle of October! I actually like it this way though, I love getting stuff done and falling into bed at the end of the day totally exhausted. Although everything has been crazy busy, it has all gone pretty smooth for the most part.

Jesse's family and friend Travis were here for about a week, it was alot of fun! I love having company :) They came for Family Day and Graduation, which both went very well!! Family Day was a blast, getting to walk around the airfield and check out and Black Hawks. After it was done we all went to the flight simulator! I think everyone enjoyed it. Graduation was bittersweet, I cried a little, but I was proud of myself for not losing it and bawling my eyes out. I felt so bad for Jesse, so many pictures were being taken! He got warn out and stopped smiling after about the 30th one, ha ha poor boy. I cant believe its all over now, all we have to do is out-process, pack up and move!

We made a trip to the beach while his family was visiting! It was such a beautiful day. Jess and Travis made a "Beached Whale" out of sand, it was a big hit!! Everyone loved it, they were taking pictures of it and talking about it and some even tried to make their own. On our way to the car a man stopped them and asked if they were the ones who made it, he told them that he has lived in Florida for 15 years and he has never seen anything like it before! Ha ha It was pretty amazing.

Family left Saturday and Travis left yesterday, so we are now trying to adjust back to normal life for a while. I'm going to put the house back together today while Jesse is helping some friends of ours pack up their trailer to move to Kansas. Its a weird feeling, watching everyone pack up and move away, I knew it would happen, but I wasn't expecting it to come so soon. I guess I have to get used to it though :)

Time is flying by!

I cant believe how fast time is going by. It seems like just yesterday I moved down to Alabama and started to get settled in, and now I'm running around like a crazy person trying to get everything ready to move!

Jesse and I went to Savannah last weekend to house hunt. We only ended up looking at 3 houses because it was so amazing there that we couldn't help but want to explore and check out everything the area has to offer. We didn't even see half of it, but we are in love!! It was such an awesome place I cant even begin to explain. I had expectations in my mind of what it would be like, and how much I would like it... It was 100x better than I could have ever imagined. There is so much to do there, I don't think we will ever be bored! It is beyond beautiful and is beaming with energy and life. Its hard to believe that it will be our home for the next 3-6 years!! I am so excited and cant wait to live there!!

Jesse's family got here yesterday. His dad, mom, grandma, uncle and best friend all came down to Alabama to watch him graduate! We get to go to the black hawk stage field in a couple of hours to walk around and look at all the helicopters, then we are going to the black hawk simulator to see how everyone does at flying! Graduation is on Thursday, I cant believe it. I get to pin his wings on him, I will try my hardest not to cry, but I cry easily, so I wont make any promises :)

It has been a long journey, but now that's its over, it seems like it went by way too fast. I wish I would have taken more pictures, gotten to know more people, and really appreciated it all alot more. I'm so glad that Jesse got the opportunity to come down here and go through this training,  he has done amazing and I am so proud of him.

Time to get ready for family day at the airfield!
