A PCS is Upon Us

When Lieutenant Lovemuffin graduated from the Air Force Academy in 2014, he was all set to head to pilot training. He's been flying for YEARS and can't wait to train in Air Force planes.

... but then he was offered a slot at AFIT, the Air Force Institute of Technology. A free master's degree? Heck yeah! Dan will be graduating in March as a Master of Physics, and his ladies (Annabelle and I) are pretty proud of his hard work while writing his incredibly long thesis.

He is chomping at the bit to be in the air again, though. His old flying team teammates are finishing pilot training in waves, and he is just stuck in Ohio going to school... still. But it'll all be worth it!

In fact, it'll SOON be here... because we are moving to TEXAS! Sheppard Air Force Base, here we come!

We've actually known since before heading to AFIT. These were his original orders... but we didn't know if the Air Force would mess anything up. Dan received his official orders about a month ago, and he'll be flying down soon to look at houses. We'll leave Ohio at the end of March, and Dan is SO excited to start flying again!

He'll be at ENJJPT (Euro-Nato Joint Jet Pilot Training), where he will start out flying the T-6 and move on to the T-38 before finding out what aircraft he'll be flying for his career. We are so ready to be there!


    

We're Baaaaack!

Okay, so we've actually been back for a few weeks, but since we weren't planning on being back, I decided to continue my break from blogging... just because everything has been so overwhelming that I haven't had any time!

Let me catch you up.

Since my last post with our wedding recap, we have:

• driven from Colorado to Missouri to drop off one car and leave the cats with my grandma
• flown to Pennsylvania to watch a couple friends marry each other
• gone on our AMAZING month-long European honeymoon
• traveled back to the USA (Oregon) last minute to say goodbye to Dan's mom
• walked a mile and a half to In N Out Burger from the LA airport for lunch
• packed up our entire house and moved out within five days (and let me tell you that there WILL be a blog post about our first (awful) PCS experience
• driven from Colorado to Ohio, with stops overnight in Kansas, Missouri, and Indiana
• unpacked our entire new house
• flown on a private C-21 from Ohio to Maryland Space A for my birthday... just because we could
• found a church in Ohio to go to (and it only took two tries - the first one was NOT for us)

Phew! We are exhausted after this crazy summer, but my handsome husband in-processes for his graduate school program this Friday, and things will return to normalcy (or close enough) once we have structure. I can't promise any blogging in the next week or so, but I hope to make it a regular thing once again.

Thanks for bearing with me this summer as I have not posted once since the very beginning of June. Oops.
