Winging date is official!

Well, it's official as it's gonna be! The Navy could always change their mind! MAY 8TH - mark those calendars and book those plane tickets! Jeff goes to do his carrier qualifications next week and when he gets back he'll have 4 more flights to do in 3 weeks. I'm getting excited for all the upcoming festivities!

New Hair Color, Again!

Okay, I'm going to stop changing my hair so much! I'm trying to get it back to somewhat the natural color. Right now I had to go a little darker to get out the red, but it'll be back to dark blonde one day!

The CQ Mustache

This post will get updated every Monday to show the transformation of Jeff's CQ mustache. I think it's interesting since this is the first time Jeff has grown just a mustache and I thought people would get a kick out of it!

Day 4: 3/16

Day 11: 3/23


Day 18: 3/30


Forgot to take a picture on 4/6! Sorry!

New Toy

Jeff finally gave in and let me get a treadmill! It's only been one day and I've used it 2 times. I love it and it's so much nicer to have it at home and not have to go to the gym!

Snow in MS, My 25th Birthday, Wingings

It snowed in Mississippi on March 1st! Our friends Megan and Jared were in town for one night and it was freezing and snowed! So unlike Mississippi! It was all melted away by noon, but it was fun while it lasted! Makayla has never seen snow before but had no problem adjusting to it. She liked chasing the snowballs and went crazy if you threw some of it in the air! Here are a few pictures from the day.



My 25th Birthday was on March 5th! Too bad I had to be in Atlanta and sick for it!! The weekend before though Feb 28th, Kim and Jen surpirsed me with an Angel Food cake - one of my favs - and some gifts! Such good friends! Their husbands were winging the weekend of my birthday and they wanted to celebrate with me before all of the chaos that weekend entails! I did get to have a Cheesecake factory dinner and cheesecake while in Atlanta and an awesome drink there called a Georgia Peach. When I got home on the 6th there was a big box waiting for me from Jeff. He got me exactly what I wanted - a wall-mounted jewelry box! Don't get me wrong though, I picked it out and sent him a link to overstock.com! By now I know how to get what I want :) ! Here are some pics!

Like a said earlier, Kim's and Jen's husbands winging on March 6th! Kim and Lance got sergrad which means they will stay here another year and Lance will be an instructor for the T-45. Yea for friends not leaving us! Jen and Clay got Prowlers in Whidbey Island so they will be leaving us, but maybe not too soon :) ! I'm so happy both couples got what they wanted and happy that Kim will be here to help celebrate Jeff's winging with me!

New Hair Color!

No more blonde! I'm auburn! Just decided to go darker and with a little red thrown in there! Why not?!

The slow start of 2009

Christmas and New Years has passed and Jeff and I had a great time hanging out with our families and friends in Texas. I've finally packed away all the decorations and life has gotten back to normal. Jeff had to go on a det (short for detachment) to El Centro, CA for training and he's been flying everyday out there. He's been doing weapons training, aka dropping bombs (paint bombs) and having fun on the weekends in San Diego. He is suppose to be out there one more week, but that may turn into two.

The dogs and I have been missing him. They miss him because he plays a lot harder and run with them everyday. I've been getting them together with other dogs to play with so it's easier on them and me! We had a doggie playdate yesterday at the lake here and Makayla got to swim and play with her brother, Jackson. I definitely hate making dinner for one (I feel like I revert back to college meals) and it's boring without him too.

I have been trying to keep busy though. I've gotten better at playing the drums for Guitar Hero World Tour and have kept up with going to Spinlates. I even successfully made cookies without burning them! Me and a few of the girls here took a day trip to Tuscaloosa to do some shopping and I came back with some good finds.

Not a lot going on here these days, but I'm sure things will pick up a bit when Jeff gets back. He should be getting closer to then end of phase 2, which means carrier qualifications in March and getting those wings of gold in April!
