Doomsday

Today I will stay in bed and mourn the loss of a dream...

I always thought it was too good to be true.

But I couldn't help but get my hopes up. 

I reeeally wanted to see what he could do for our country, 

and I guess we'll never know.

I really didn't care too much about our current president 

or politics in general before this election.

But now I must say bitterness and some slight loathing have

crept into this little heart of mine.

The world of politics is like Junior High. It's all a popularity contest.

Hence the reason Brian Warden won student body president.

And without sounding too dramatic, I'm pretty sure its the end of the world.

And no Mom it's not just because "you know who" won...

It's everything. 

But we'll be okay regardless...

 and even though things didn't turn out the way I wanted

 I am soo glad to have it over with!

The stress yesterday was too much,

my face was breaking out like mad.

And now that's it all done...

 I truly truly hope that "you know who" really

steps up and surprises us all.

 

Grub and Game Night

Grub and Game Night with 13-03 was long overdue! 

I can't believe it has been a year since we started this 

journey with such fantastic people. 

It'll be a sad day when we all have to part ways, 

but I'm so grateful I got to know these lovelies.

It was a busy week! 

I did a lot of nannying and Jake did a lot of flying.

Halloween was fun, I went trick or treating with the girls

and made ghostly rice krispies and taco soup. 

Jake did great on formation and only has nine flights left.

We should be getting our drop sheet soon!

We're excited to finally see where we can go next.

The anticipation is killing us.

Did you watch the CMAs last night?

I'm just loving Taylor's style lately. 

She's growing up.

How about that awkward moment when Brad joked about her Kennedy boyfriend, 

not knowing that they had just broken up? Yikes.

they did the monster mash

We had our first ever Halloween party Saturday night.

I spent the entire day preparing because I am a procrastinator and 

have no concept of time management. 

It's a miracle I graduated from college. 

It's probably because I'm terrified of failure. 

ANYWAY... we had a fantastic time and some great costumes. 

Halloween is quickly becoming my favorite holiday. 

Happy Halloween!

Flashback Friday

Yeesh. Can't believe this was five/six years ago. 

It's been five years since I've worn a costume on Halloween! 

That's ridiculous.

Well we're changing it up this year. 

Going all out with a party and costumes. 

check back for pictures! 

T-1 Domination

So proud of these two boys.

Both Jake and our friend Charlton passed their check rides

with a Excellent overall grade. The highest!

 They pretty much dominated the T-1. 

It should be all downhill from here... which is good

because we definitely need a break from the maddening stress that's

been hanging over our heads for the past two weeks.

Thanks for all of your prayers and support!

 

One Year

in case you missed it...

Oh what I would give to relive this trip...

It was so much fun!

Thanks for all of your kind words, Jake passed his precheck and 

has his checkride flight set up for tomorrow!

We're so close...

Air Force Gangnam Style

Every class, before they graduate, makes a video to show at assignment night.

Most of them are pretty lame and very cheesy, but this one...

pretty impressive. 

guess who's in charge of our class video... Jake.

so who's going to end up making it? Courtney.

Oh boy.
