Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas here. Christmas Eve we went to some friends house for dinner and then came home to finish getting ready for Christmas. I still had presents to wrap. Then we read the Christmas Story before we headed to bed. We were really tired. It had been a very long day.
We woke up early Christmas morning and then we opened presents with the dogs. They love their new Indiana Colts bed. And the toys and treats they all got. They both got super spoiled.
I also got spoiled. Danny gave me a gift certificate to the Spa and pretty jewelry. He also gave me a brand new Camcorder. Unfortunately, we still need the DVD's to record anything. Oh well.
I gave Danny an xBox and xBox live so he can play with his brother and friends. He's in Heaven. I'm so glad he likes it.... But I'm starting to wonder if I'll see my husband anytime soon! Haha no he's not that bad..... Yet ;)

Then after we opened presents, we called our family and we were able to talk to them for a bit. We couldnt' talk long because we had to get ready. We went to our new friends, Chris and Mallory's for dinner. Then we played games. It was a lot of fun!!

After we came home we called our family to talk for a bit longer. It was fun to hear what they got and how much fun they had! I am so grateful we are able to call home for free. This would be so hard if we couldn't talk to them.

Our stuff is here!!

Well I've typed this post up twice but the pictures wouldn't load.... So I am pretty frustrated lol! I'll try again...

We were told our household goods would arrive no later than Thanksgiving. When Thanksgiving came and went without any notification that our stuff had arrived. So Danny called the lady in charge and demanded to know where our stuff was. So she called the movers and they told her they had our stuff in a storage facility and they've had it since Nov. 12 and we hadn't called them to schedule a delievery date. Well Danny called back and yelled at them saying we had never been notified and told them when they could deliver our stuff. They finally delievered our stuff on the 10th of December. I am so excited to have my bed back. It's like sleeping on a cloud! I haven't slept that deeply in a long time! I sleep through Danny waking up and showering in the morning, which is really rare for me, I'm usually a light sleeper.
The dogs seem excited to have their stuff back. Flash is so confused he doesn't know which toy to play with first! Jack loves the couch and hardly leaves his favorite spot which is the back of the couch.

I am so glad to have our stuff here. Now if I could just unpack and get organized again, I would feel so much better

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a beautiful Thanksgiving here in Germany. We went to a friends house for Thanksgiving dinner and then we all went to see Harry Potter 7 at a German Theatre. And yes it was in english! We've been fortunate to have snow and I actually think I might like it this year! It's so pretty. It reminds me of those Christmas Villages you buy to go under your tree! Jack loves the snow. He loves running around in it and turning the snow colors! Flash is a little weary. He doesn't mind it as much because it doesn't touch his belly yet, but it's not his favorite.
Danny is working hard and enjoying it. Right now he's working swings so he leaves here around 12:30 and gets home around 10 pm. It's definitely thrown my schedule off I feel like I don't get as much done because it's only light for a couple of hours when he's gone. But I'm working on being better. I am currently teaching myself to sew. It's a slow process but I'm getting there. After the holiday season I'll upload pictures of all the Christmas Presents I'm working on!

Sorry we don't have a lot to report. We haven't really been able to do a whole lot of sight seeing. I think tomorrow though we will be going to a Christmas Market and that will be lots of fun!

Happy Howloween!!!

We had a lot of fun on Halloween. Friday night we had our Ward Trunk or Treat/ Ward party. As a last minute effort to dress up Danny and I went as a ventriloquist and his dummy. I drew the lines on my face and everything. And the we wrote out name tags just in case no one could tell who we were. (Which happened to be a lot of people) We had a lot of fun, but I was kinda mad I had forgot my camera. So I made sure to get a couple pictures when we got home.

The next day, Saturday, the base celebrated Halloween. So we went trick or treating with some friends and their cute little baby! Jack and Flash got so many compliments. They had almost matching costumes... Ok not matching.. But coinciding costumes. Jack was a Police Officer and Flash was his Prisioner. We told a lot of people that Jack was Flash's parole officer. Hehe! We had a lot of adults stop and take pictures of our dogs. I told my friend that my kids were cuter than hers. She disagreed.... But honestly. It's true ;) Just kidding.

I would upload pictures. But blogger has not been letting me. I think it hates me. So for those of you who want to see pictues, they are on my facebook page. (Somewhere lol)

Kaiserslautern Fair

Today Danny and I went to the Kaiserslautern Fair! It was a lot of fun. We had a delicious German lunch. I had schniztel on bread and Danny had steak with sauteed onions on bread. Then dessert was the best part. We had German chocolate covered strawberry kabobs. The strawberries were the tastiest, juiciest strawberries I have ever eaten. I would definitely have to say German Fairs beat American Fairs in the food department.
After dinner Danny and I rode the ferris wheel. It was a good idea in theory. But it was sooo cold when we got to the top. Then we walked around and did some shopping. I wish I would have gotten more pictures. I apologized


These are just a few pictures of around town. The first is of a house that I saw when we were walking around. And the second is a sign we see about 10 times a day. It means "Exit" in German... Anybody else find it ironic??

We have a house!!

We finally got out of that hotel! We moved into our new apartment on Friday! I love it. Maybe it's the fact we've been cooped up in a tiny hotel room, for the past 3 weeks. Or been condensed to living in a bedroom in my parents basement. It could even be the fact we have hardly any furniture, we only borrowed the basics from FMO (No idea what that stands for). But our place seems really spacious. We have a ton of counter and cupboard space in the kitchen! I love it!!! Probably my favorite room in the house.

I also love our little balcony patio!! And I think the dogs love it too!

I would post pictures of our living room and bedrooms. But they're not super impressive and Blogger is uploading super slow today.

We are having a blast here, and the ward is super wonderful. I can't wait until our stuff shows up and we can officially move in and call it home!

My Birthday and Burg Nanstein

I don't know what happened to the pictures when they uploaded, so you'll just have to click on them to see the full picture. Sorry. If I knew how to fix it, and it didn't require A LOT of effort. I totally would


Danny and I standing in front of the Castle, Burg Nanstein


Beautiful View from the Castle of Ramstein-Meisenbach below us

More of the castle



Looking up through a tower


The Castle was built by adding rocks onto sandstone

Jack was super excited to go to the Castle

Flash was trying to crawl on our laps, which is a big NO NO

Birthday Dinner at Macaroni Grill

Danny and I being cute :P

We are having a blast here in Germany! I hope to take more pictures, and I apologize for the lateness of these photos. But I promise to TRY and do better

Shopping in Germany and so much more

Today Danny and I went to the grocery store because our food supply was seriously lacking. We were down to enough bread for 3 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 2 cans of Ravioli and 1 cup of noodles. All to last us until Monday. Yeah we needed to go shopping. There is a small small market around the corner from us, so we decided to walk down there.
Well in Germany they have different customs. A lot of shops close weekdays 1-3 pm. Almost like a siesta but no one sleeps. They just close down. It's called Quiet Time. And we've learned that a lot of people don't answer their phone during this time either. The Air Force even pays a fine when they have planes fly in past 10:00pm. They are always closed Sundays. And a lot of shops close early on Saturdays. Which is what happened when we walked to this small market.
So we needed to go to the bank and get more Euros anyways. Hardly anybody accepts debit cards, unless they're a fairly big store. And that's about a 10 minutes away from our hotel. And there is a fairly big grocery store about 5 minutes away from that. So we decided to go shopping there. It is definitely a cultural shock shopping for food in a store you don't know the language. Some things are fairly easy. Like chocolate and fruit! Other things like lunch meat, totally different story. We are only fairly certain the meat we bought is turkey. I'm a little hesitant to try it :P They had a lot of scary looking meat there as well. Bread here is different than the bread at home. They do a lot of loaves like on Beauty and the Beast, at the beginning when Belle is shopping. But they did have a small section of bread that looks American. Minus the heels. Finally someone who understands that the heels are not important and generally get thrown out. Now I don't have to feel like I'm wasting food. It was also kind of funny to see a whole section about the size of the Electronic section at Wal-Mart full of wine. All different kinds of wine. And when you check out, they don't have the normal paper or plastic bags like at home. They have a slightly heavier duty plastic bag that you must pay for. It was about 10cents per bag. I'm not entirely sure on the custom to reusing the bags yet. But I plan on looking into that.
They believe in a lot of recycling here. We are forbidden to throw away any glass. And when we drive to a glass recycling bin we must then seperate by color. I think the dogs love living here, because it is a law that they can not be in their kennels more than 2 hours at a time. And it is strongly encouraged to take your dogs for long walks. We have tried to abide by the walking rule as much as we can. Somedays are definitely easier than others, but we're trying.

We made it!!

The dogs traveled really well. Thanks to my new best friend Benedryl!! Although Flash ate Jack's so he kinda got double his dosage :P But it worked he was very mellow and not anxious at all. So it was a win win in my opinion.
We are having a blast here. Currently we are staying at a hotel off base since they have no room for us on base. Which is fine because this means the dogs get to stay with us! On base they'd have to live in a doggy hotel. :( It is hard being off base away from everything, and not having a car at all. But we're making the most of it. The other night Danny and I went for a walk and found a really delicious restaurant that makes really good food. It's an English restaurant so they had fish and chips and other things. We're gonna go back soon and try some of their pies/pastries. They sounded really good. We just got their chicken tenders and fried sausage! So so so good! And everyone is so nice here. A lot of people speak english. I almost forget that we're in Germany sometimes! It is so green and beautiful here. The dogs love it. We took them for a long walk today and they had so much fun! Things are still confusing here. We tried to go around the blog but they don't have blocks here. It took us an hour to go in a circle without crossing any streets! Yup true story.
We find out on Monday about the housing situation. Our sponsor is being super helpful and I am so grateful! I promise we will update pictures soon, but our camera broke and we had to send it in for a refund (3rd time it's broken since we bought it in June) Once we get a new one I promise we'll take lots and lots of pictures and I will update them as soon as possible!

Time to celebrate!

It's been a long couple weeks. There has been a lot I've needed to update on, but lacked the motivation. We hit a snag with my medical clearance. So Danny was unable to come home when we had originally planned. It was a very long and stressful week trying to fix the paperwork so my medical clearance could go through. And it still has yet to go through... But they know it will be there in a couple days so they decided to let Danny come home!!! Yay!! We'll just do what they call amendment and add my name later once my medical clearance comes through. I'm just so excited that Danny is coming home!! He'll be home in a little over 24 hours! Words cannot begin to describe how happy we are. To know that we get to see each other and it will be a long time before we have to say goodbye!!

We will be moving to Germany on the 21st of September. I can't believe it's so close!! Yet it still feels like we have forever!!

Needles and tickets!

We had a very productive day! Today I took the dogs to the Vet to get all their shots caught up for Germany. Flash handled it like a trooper. He was scared and hugged up next to me while he got his shots. And then it was Jack's turn, and I'm 90% sure that Flash was laughing at him because he didn't know what he was getting himself into. Jack was so excited and running around on the table... Then they took his temperature. And he was not happy at all! He kept trying to jump off the table. It took all I had to hold him still enough to get his temperature. Then it was time for his shots. And I don't think he was expecting the first one because he yelped and tried once again to jump off the table. He was barking and growling and giving me dirty looks. But he was a trooper for the next two shots. But he wasted no time getting out of that room. I felt so bad for him. He wouldn't come near me for a couple hours. It was like he blamed me for him getting violated ;)
Then Danny called and said he only has to file one more paper in order to get his orders! So hopefully on Thursday he'll have his orders. We did purchase his plane ticket today!!! I had to make sure it was refundable just in case for some weird chance his orders don't come through!! But if everything goes well, Danny will be home August 25th 10:03 am!!! I can't wait! It's starting to feel more real that he's coming home soon. But it still feels a little surreal!

Happy Anniversary!!

Two years ago today Danny I were sealed for time and all eternity! Best decision I have ever made. And I am so lucky to have married such a wonderful man! He treats me so wonderful and so kind. He enjoys my dorkiness and immaturity! He says I keep life interesting! I think he's just full of it! I love him so much. And while today hasn't been the best day. It's been hard to celebrate when he's so far away! But I'm looking forward to when he comes home in 3 weeks and we can have a delayed celebration!! I can't believe it's been 2 years already yet it feels like it's been a lot longer! I am definitely the luckiest girl alive

Paperwork Paperwork Paperwork

There is a mound of paperwork and stuff both Danny and I need to get accomplished. We both have Dr's appointments tomorrow and a dentist appointment. Who knew you had to get clearance from a denist to live in Germany. I also have to drive 2 hours to get a No Fee passport which acts just like a visa. So I've heard. But some idiot at Hill AFB told me on Friday they don't do those anymore. But the only place I can get one of those is an Air Force Base. So after I pointed this out to him, he told me to call back on Monday. You know that would have been a lot less stressful if you would have just told me that in the first place.
Then I read online today that not only do I need a No Fee Passport. I also need a tourist Passport to travel to all the fun places, like Paris or Italy! And Danny can not come home until I have my No Fee Passport. So hopefully I can get someone to answer my questions tomorrow!

Ramstein Germany

Danny called today and told me we have orders! We are being stationed in Ramstein Germany! We are so excited! There is so much we are going to see! We will only be 3.5 hours away from Paris! A days drive from Italy, Spain, Berlin, and Switzerland. There are so many Castles in Germany, and I hear the food is amazing.
It's going to be hard for us to be so far away from family but I know without a shadow of a doubt that this is where we are supposed to be! And I can't wait!

BMT Graduation

Graduation was a ton of fun! It was so nice to see Danny again! It was a long drive but it was definitely worth it. While we were waiting for the Coin Ceremony to start we had sat in front of this family, and we got talking and quickly realized that their son/husband was in Danny's flight and they were also LDS. We really clicked and kept running into each other through out the entire weekend. It was so fun to see them and meet them. They instantly became family.

It rained a lot while we were down there. We happened to be there the same time Hurricane Alex decided to come visit. Luckily we were far enough inland, all we got was a TON of rain. So Danny's official Graduation was canceled and they held an impromptu graduation in their Dorms. After their dorms we were able to go in and see where Danny slept for the last 8 weeks.

Then we went to the Riverwalk and Alamo and it was raining so hard, but it was still a lot of fun

So I'm sorry this is late. I promise to try to update more often!

T minus 3 weeks!

So we are down to 3 weeks until BMT is over! Everyone do a happy dance *Dances and dances and dances* I am so happy and I am so proud of him. I received a letter on Friday and he says he's doing great. So far he's managed to stay invisible and he hasn't aquired any leadership postition yet, which is good because he doesn't want to get in trouble for the people under him. But if you know Danny you know he can't just sit back and not help. He said that he has been helping others when they need it. He's a good man and I am so proud of him. He also said his job duties include laundry. He has to sort and wash laundry for 52 men. He said it is not fun and on some occasions he spends close to 4 hours a day in the laundry room. I try to tell him that he's just learning some nice skills for when he comes home :D But he's not buying it. I still have until August to convince him otherwise!
And on Friday I drove up to Draper to the National Guard Headquarters (Thanks to the advice of Danny's recruiter I didn't have to drive all the way to Hill AFB) I get there and they kindly inform me that they are closed Fridays. So glad I didn't have to drive all the way to Hill! So I had to wake up early on Monday and drive back up there. And came home with a spankin new Military ID now I'm tempted to drive to Hill AFB just to see what it's like on Base! The closer it gets to July the more impatient I get. I really wish I could flip a few pages and just find out where we are going so that I can start packing and looking for a place to live. Haha. I really hate reality ;)
I am so excited to see him. I am definitely excited to start this new adventure! Thank you guys for your support! We couldn't do this without you!

Halfway There!

So today is the 4 week mark of Basic Training! Which means we are halfway done! HOORAY!! I am so excited. And today I booked my hotel for his Graduation. It's official now. There is no turning back! I get to see Danny in 4 weeks!

First Letter

So today I was on my way home from work when I called Danny's mom to see what their plans were for this weekend and when they were coming down, if they were still planning on coming down. Then she said she had a letter from my husband. And I started speeding home, I was gonna be really mad if I didn't get a letter! When I got home I was pleasantly surprised when I found 2 letters waiting for me. One wasn't really a letter. It was just the info I needed to go get my Military ID (Woohoo! I'm official now) But the second letter, now that was the best thing to happen to me all week. It was rather short, but it worth it. He told me that BMT is pretty basic. You just do what you're told to do and you do it perfectly and you won't have any problems. He said that it's tough but he's learning a lot. He said that it's not enjoyable, but definitely worth it.

I'm glad he's learning a lot. I am so proud of him and his decision to go. I know things are tough here at home without him, but I know things are even worse for him. And if he can survive, then I can definitely survive! I love him and I am definitely proud to wear the title of Airman Wife!

Life as an Airman's wife so far

Well life has defintely been tough with Danny being gone. Sometimes it feels like the whole being married to Danny was a dream. I just laugh at myself when I start feeling that way. I have been finding ways to keep me busy. I was just given an additional client named Laura, so I work with her in the morning and then go to Justin's house in the afternoon. And when I come home I plot my trip to San Antonio (5 Weeks left!!)
Friday I was able to talk to Danny for the first time since he left. It was a rough 2.5 weeks for the both of us. But I think he had the short end of the stick. He's enjoying the challenge and he has a lot of respect for his MTI (Military Training Instructor aka Drill Sargent) But he absolutely hates his group. They don't listen to their TI and so they get yelled at for the stupidest things. And when one person gets in trouble the whole group gets in trouble. They don't understand if you do what you're supposed to you get rewarded. So not only was Danny not able to call til he was there for 2.5 weeks but he hasn't even been allowed to read my letters til that day. I'm hoping now that his Flight has had a chance to call home and read their letters that they will want to shape up.
Other than that I guess he's doing ok. He's not dead yet so we are being optimistic about the little things.

Proud to be an Airman's wife

Today we officially started a new chapter in our lives. Danny was sworn in to the Air Force today. I was able to go and watch him. It was really cool and they let me take pictures but I forgot my camera so I only got a couple ones on my phone. And after it was done I wished I had recorded it on my camera. Oh well. What can you do. I am so proud of him and this decision. I know it takes a lot of guts and inner strength to volunteer for this. He just amazes me! My love for him has grown so much in the last couple days. He has definitely made me feel loved and appreciated for supporting him in this. He even left me a little love note in my car before he left today saying how much he loved me. I know it's gonna be a long 3 months but it will definitely be worth it!

Vegas Baby!!!

So Danny leaves for Basic on Tuesday, although I'm really excited for this new adventure I am definitely dreading the next 3 months until this adventure can start. Danny and I decided to take a break from the stress and go away for the weekend just the two of us. We couldn't decide until Thursday Morning where we were going. We were well on the road before we even decided to go to Vegas. Well sorta. We kinda knew that was the direction we would like to go and by the time we got back to American Fork (we were driving from Vernal) we decided that would be a nice destination. We dropped off the dogs and packed up again and headed out. As we got closer to Cedar City, we decided that we should just stop in Mesquite because if we kept driving to Vegas I would be way too tired to do anything once we got there. So we stopped in Mesquite and hung out there and it was a lot of fun. I even talked Danny into stopping and feeding the ducks with me... Ok not really. I just stopped the car since I was driving and fed the ducks part of my breakfast!! Then we headed off to Vegas where we stayed at the Tuscany hotel. It was really nice and our room was sweet. Or should I say suite! Haha. Later that night we walked the strip and just hung out. It was just what we needed. I got a lot of pictures. Well a lot for the two of us haha!

So now we're just doing the last minute stuff before he leaves. I am not looking forward to it, yet at the same time I'm ready for him to leave so he can hurry and come back! I'm really proud of him! He's an amazing man and I love him so much!

Pictures and a BBQ

This past weekend was a long weekend for our family. For Christmas we had given our moms a gift certificate for professional family pictures. Unfortuanetly the guy we had hired who has done all my wedding and bridals and such was unable to make it. But he was able to find us a replacement at the last minute. It ended up being a lot of fun, and I'm hoping the pictures turned out. Danny and I really wanted a family picture of both of our families together for our house. And we took several of those. It was a lot of fun.

Then later that night we had a huge BBQ for Danny to say goodbye before he leaves for Basic Training next week. It was so much fun. We had it at a church park that has a Volleyball court and a baseball diamond and a basketball court. All on a smaller scale of course. We had invited my family and all of his family. We had a great turn out. I am so proud of Danny and his choice to join the Air Force. I wish I had some pictures to post, but I was honestly having so much fun I forgot to get out my camera!

Fishing with family

We went to Vernal to spend time with Danny's family and while we were there we went fishing. I took a couple fun pictures while I played with the settings on my camera :D

These last couple pictures are a little fuzzy, but for some reason they're my two favorite.

Rock Springs

Danny was transferred to Rock Springs for work the next couple weeks. He got up there today in what normally takes 2.5 hours in 5 hours because the weather was so bad. In this video it's not snowing... The wind is blowing so hard it looks like it's snowing. It's definitely not an ideal situation but I am really proud of him and his willing to do what needs to be done.

Crazy couple of weeks

So a couple weeks ago, my little brother Bobby got married. It was a beautiful ceremony and the reception was just as gorgeous. I am very glad with his choice of bride as well haha! They make a very cute couple and they are very good for one another. And after that was all done the next day Danny and I went to a Jazz game for his birthday. Well Sorta. I gave him the tickets for his birthday and the game was couple weeks later. It was a lot of fun until the last quarter. The Jazz were so far ahead New Orleans didn't stand a chance. But it was still a lot of fun to go and hang out.

I also found out recently that I have been called to help with Girls Camp in my ward. I am so excited. It will be a great way to pass the time while Danny is gone during the summer. On Saturday I was at a meeting for the upcoming Girls Camp while Danny had to go show the trailer to a family who was interested in buying it. And when I got home he informed me, we had sold the trailer! Yay! It was bitter sweet finishing up the cleaning and stuff and to permently move out of the trailer. But I know it was for the best. And I'm definitely excited to start the new chapter in our lives

Happy Birthday Danny!!

So Tuesday was Danny's 24th birthday! Yay! He chose to have steaks for his birthday which is a big treat in our family because I can't eat it. Steak and I just don't get a long at all. And since I can't eat it, I never really cook it. He always order it at a restaurant. So he asked for a steak and shrimp dinner for his birthday. Shrimp no problem... Steak, problem. It's a good thing we moved in with my parents haha. My dad was able to help me with the cooking of the steaks. Which I was very appreciative. Afterwards Danny had asked for home made carrot cake for his birthday. We have to make it home made, and when we say home made we mean from a box. Because once again it's my fault. I have a nut allergy so we have to make it ourselves in order for me to eat it and be able to kiss my husband afterwards :-P Then we opened presents. My parents gave him a really awesome Air Force hat. And Claire gave him a pretty picture she had drawn. And then it was my turn. I gave him a bag of Jelly Belly's and Jazz tickets for the New Orleans game on the 20th. He seemed pretty excited about that. And this weekend we are going out to Vernal to be able to spend time with his family for his belated birthday. We are so grateful that we have family close by. Some we have to drive a bit for but for the most part we can still visit family quite often.

Happy Valentines!

Danny and I decided we weren't gonna do a whole lot for Valentines. We choose to celebrate the anniversary of our first date instead. It means more to us and we find it's generally less crowded when we go out! Haha. So we went out to a really nice restaurant called Sakura in Orem. It's a Hibachi Grill. It was a lot of fun and we just spent the night together. Which I think was just what I needed since that was the day I went to the Doctor and they had told me I had miscarried. Well yesterday we did give each other cards and Danny did surprise me with Tulips. It made my night. But his card made me cry. He talked about the good times we had gone through and the hard times we are currently facing. And how he's glad I'm by his side to face these things together. And it made me realize once again. How lucky I truly am. He makes my life so much fun and he makes the hard times easier to face. There is no way I could face all that we've gone through in the last couple months without him.

I know this isn't a huge update. But there really isn't too much to add.

Not a lot of Up's but one big Down

The last couple weeks we had a lot to rejoice over. Danny and I found out we were expecting a little life into our family in the middle of September! We were really excited and then we heard from the recruiter and it just felt like everything was falling into place and life was going to be great. Then about a week and a half ago I started spotting. And at first we tried not to think anything of it. And I was put on bed rest. Then last week it got worse. So I made an appointment to see my doctor. And after some blood tests we discovered that unfortunately I was miscarrying the baby. It was hard at first. But I think both Danny and I knew what was happening. And we were prepared for that result. I'm not gonna lie, I did shed a lot of tears, and I was angry especially when I saw other pregnant women. But it quickly passed. I felt at such peace that I'm gonna see this baby someday. I can't explain it. But I know this was all in God's plan for Danny and I and now we know that my body has a hard time with pregnancy. So next time I have to go in for lots of tests and more than likely hormone shots. We'll know more later. And when we know I'll let you know.

But I want to say thank you to everyone who has been such a great help and willing to lend an ear and a postive message to help lift my spirits! I love you all

Let the adventure begin... Please?

So last week we heard from the recruiter. He called to tell us that they finally found a job for Danny and to let us know when he will be entering BMT (Basic Military Training) He leaves for San Antonio on May 4th where he will be stationed at the Lackland Air Force Base for the duration of 8.5 weeks for Basic Training. And after that he generally will be heading for a new base for tech school where he'll learn about Air Transportation. But luckily for us, his tech school is held at Lackland. So he'll be there an additional month. He'll be trained on how to load airplanes properly to make sure they're balanced and won't crash. He'll also be in charge of loading people on the special planes that have humans as cargo! So he's excited about that! We're a little bummed he has to wait until May. But it will all work out. He'll be home in August just in time for our anniversary. And then we will be moving to our first base! Hopefully it's somewhere close to family yet really really warm!

Hopefully I'll have more to update later as it gets closer!!

Happy New Year!!

Wow! I can't believe where 2009 has gone! Yet I'm so proud of all we've been through and I'm anxious for the adventures of 2010. There is a lot on our plate for this upcoming year. Right now we're in the process of selling our home and we'll be moving in with my family! My poor parents. Not only are Danny and I moving in and taking our dogs. My sister Allie is also moving back in to save for a mission... Or marriage whichever comes first ;) And my brother Bob is also moving back home to save for a marriage! We're so excited for him to be marrying such an awesome girl... How he ever got her is one of the many mysteries of this life! Hehe I'm kidding.

Now you're probably wondering what Danny and I are thinking to sell our house and give up our indpendence for semi independence... It's an announcement I have sorta put of on announcing except to close family and friends... Danny has joined the airforce. Now we are just waiting for the final dates and his job placement... I'm starting to get impatient. I wanna know NOW!!

I know this is where the Lord wants us. As scary as it is to leave all our family here in Utah to start a new life. Christmas was a little tough knowing a huge possibility we won't be there. But we'll survive. Maybe they'll come visit us!
