Congratulations, Brian and Angela Sherman!

This past weekend, I made a trip up to Ohio for one of Tobin’s friend’s wedding. Tobin couldn’t go because of IFS, so Jacque flew to Pensacola so she could drive up with me to Ohio. I was so glad I didn’t have to drive alone! We made it in about 12 hours, not counting stops.

  • Picture #1: Mr. and Mrs. Brian and Angela Sherman
  • Picture #2: The ceremony was at a Catholic church. Isn’t it beautiful?
  • Picture #3: Mike and Jacque, ready for the wedding.
  • Picture #4: Sherman really likes Top Gun, so they played that theme music while the wedding party walked in to the reception, and they all were wearing aviators. :)
  • Picture #5: Tobin went to Pike’s Peak, Garden of the Gods, and some caves this past weekend. Isn’t the scenery just beautiful?
  • Picture #6: My guy. He’s pretty good looking, too.

Walking on the Beach

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

This week, I am attending AutoCAD classes downtown instead of going in to work. So, after class today, I went to the beach and took a hike towards Fort Pickens. That’s a seven-mile hike one way, so I didn’t make it (I’d be out there all night!) all the way, but it was a beautiful walk anyway. I saw little fish in some puddles, a crab, pelicans, and seagulls. The road that used to go to the fort was ruined in one of the hurricanes, so no cars are allowed back in the sand. However, an SUV passed me while I was out there; and, I walked by a white truck labeled “explosives” all over. Hm.

#1 : Here’s the “road”…it gets easier later on in the hike:
#2 : Me walkin’.
#3 : At the end of the walk. Pretty sky!
There’s a couple of people from work taking the AutoCAD classes with me. They are amazing ladies, very fun to hang out with! However, I think the class itself might be a waste of my time. I have learned a couple of things, and it’s only the first day…but I thought I might be challenged a little more than I was.
Tobin had his dollar flight today! It was his first flight at IFS!! He got to fly, land, and perform some touch-and-go’s (go in to land, touch your wheels to the ground, and take off again) as well as some simple maneuvers. Apparently, he did REALLY WELL!! :) I am so proud of him! His ground school practice test is this Friday, and the final test is on Monday. After that, it’s mainly flying for him. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!
