2017: A Year in Review

2017 was a year we knew would be exciting... but we didn't bet on SO MUCH excitement!

We were able to travel a few times - to San Antonio for Dan's centrifuge training, to Dallas / Ft. Worth for a long weekend, and to Kansas City, MO for a week and a half! We didn't take any huge trips, but that's okay. Sometimes, less is more.

We celebrated eight years together as a couple and Dan flying (and completing) the T-38 at pilot training. We shockingly found out we were pregnant with Baby Cookie 2.0 (a total surprise!) and celebrated our third wedding anniversary.

The biggest event of the summer was drop night - finally finding out that Dan will be flying to F-22 Raptor for the world's greatest Air Force! He graduated from pilot training later than month, and Annabelle took swim lessons and went to her first movie in a theater (to see Trolls) - fun times!

Shortly after, we found out Baby Cookie 2.0 was another girl - yay! We celebrated Annabelle's second birthday in September, Dan's start and finish of IFF (Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals), had maternity photos taken in early November, and welcomed tiny Josephine in late November!

And our last major event for the year? Moving across the country! The Air Force sent us to Tyndall AFB in Panama City, FL, where we'll be for about 10 months.


I hope everyone else had a great 2017 as well. Cheers to 2018!

2015: A Recap

2015 was such a whirlwind of a year for us!

We found out we were expecting a baby, prepped everything for the baby, found out she's a girl, traveled to Europe, celebrated our one year wedding anniversary, bought a new car, went to a Royals game in Cincinnati, had maternity photos taken, and HAD A BABY!

Annabelle is the sweetest gift to ever come into our lives, and while we are sad to see the year of her birth go, we are extremely excited to watch her grow, develop, and learn new things!
