Advanced
Tobin started Advanced yesterday, Dec 7.
Emily updates
Please go here for updates on Emily. The latest is she was rushed for an emergency CT scan last night because of a major headache, and more bleeding was found. She’s in a ton of pain right now.
Emily
Please be praying for my beautiful sister.
Emily (25 years old) woke up on Saturday with short-term memory loss, and had been having headaches and intense pain a couple days before that. Her husband Dan took her to the ER, and they gave her a CT scan. They found abnormally formed blood vessels in her brain (appears to be a birth defect), and apparently there was some bleeding, which is what caused the short term memory loss.
Let me tell you a little bit about her. Em is one amazing person! She is tiny but so strong. Her most recent hobby is running 10k’s, crazy girl. Her soft heart just breaks when she sees someone else in emotional pain. I’ve received so much comfort and advice from her. She also works full time and has passed her first actuary exam (smarty pants). She’s the most organized person I know (even more than Mom, I think) and can multitask like a pro; I could never fit as many activities into a day as she magically and effortlessly can. I can’t imagine her stuck in a hospital bed and not running around with the world on her little shoulders. She’s always so capable and confident; it is absolutely awful to hear her scared and unsure of what’s going to happen next.
Em has been in ICU since Saturday, and they are just waiting for a final MRI today and for the neurologist to decide what the next course of action is. Surgery is likely, but not for sure at this point.
Emily lives in Michigan, so right now it’s not likely that I can head up there to visit her. I really covet your prayers for her, as that is all I can do for her right now.
I know there’s a plan for all of this, even though it’s difficult to keep that perspective right now. I can’t wait to tell you all about all of the awesome things God did during this situation. To start with, Emily has SO MANY friends and family up there with her right now. My grandma made the long drive to come see her yesterday, and my parents and siblings were all with her this weekend. She saw her Sunday school class and her good girlfriends. She is surrounded by tons of love and support, and that’s pretty amazing.
I will update you all on the surgery, if and when it is scheduled.
A-Pool
*I was mistaken about the C-Pool thing. Apparently, that was what Tobin was in when he was waiting for Primary to start. Now he is in A-Pool. I have updated the About Us page, scroll down past the pictures to read the latest.*
Thank you all so much for praying for and encouraging Tobin! He has completed Intermediate! He passed his final check ride November 1st, and all we are waiting on is his official graduation before he checks into A-Pool. (that’s basically where he waits to class up for Advanced).
VT-10 is the training squadron Tobin has been in for both Primary and Intermediate. After graduation, he is done with VT-10 and will move on to VT-86, his final training squadron before leaving Pensacola. Hopefully there will be a nice break in between the squadrons so Tobin can rest and recuperate (and I can have him all to myself!).
Check out the About Us page for changes in the upcoming days as we get more news on Tobin’s next steps.
Guess I Look Like a Criminal
I was accused of stealing three 2 liters of pop and a bag of grapes yesterday. In the middle of a public parking lot. While walking casually away in 4 inch heels. Yes, folks, it could easily have been misconstrued that I was making a break for it.
While being humiliating at the time, I can laugh now; plus, I got lots of sympathy from a random guy and two ladies in the parking lot. 
Can’t say I wasn’t fuming afterwards, though. Of all the people to accuse of stealing! Especially when they probably were legitimately stolen from five times earlier that day…
But I can’t say I’ll boycott Winn Dixie, because they do have great deals (85 cent 2 liters, hello!).
Sent this out to the fam, but for the couple of people who aren’t on my immediate family mailing list, and for Tobin’s relatives, here’s a few photos of Pall Life Sciences at our United Way Day of Caring project. About five of the pictures are of our group, but there were 88 other groups from other companies too. I guess we were just more photogenic!
While Tobin was in Boston on his cross country (where he got to visit his old roommate Brunner at MIT), I got to visit with Ashley (Tobin’s classmate’s wife) at the Whiting Field anniversary celebration & a neighbor’s Halloween party, then help throw a small wedding shower for a couple in our life group. I got plenty of exercise too, chasing Rogue outside for what felt like 20 minutes after I lost hold of her leash. The lady down the street stood in the street and gave me very helpful advice while I was running frantically through the grass. Things like “If you throw the ball for her, you will teach her to come!” Not helpful right now, lady! I even tried a cartoonish leap through the air and just missed the end of her leash before landing sprawled out on the grass. Stupid dog. Once I went and got Titus, she came right to us and I was able to grab her leash. Could’ve had some delish hot dogs that night if you’d been driving through Pensacola.
As for Tobin, he is double turning tomorrow. THREE flights left, if all goes well, before Intermediate is over! I am so proud of him! Please keep praying for him and his classmates. He has a tough day tomorrow, then I suppose it’s a check ride on Wednesday, although I’m not sure. His graduation is set for this Friday, if weather holds out and the flights go as planned. It will be a late night tonight!
Ground School complete
Tobin finished his last test in ground school today. He has his first flight tomorrow (no rest for the weary!) and may possibly have a cross country this weekend. He is busy busy busy! I wanted to thank all of you for supporting him, I know it has been an encouragement to him. The weeks he spends flying are generally the most stressful, so these next two weeks or so are pretty huge. Once he finishes his final check ride (or solo, not sure what the last flight is), Intermediate will be complete!
I will try to post some cute pictures soon. My computer is making a horrid noise; I’m hoping it sticks around a couple more years, so that’s not good!
Things are really moving along at work. There is plenty of work to keep me busy and I am feeling challenged each day. It looks like things might be looking up in terms of demand, and we are re-hiring after some of the recent layoffs.
It’s a little premature, but I am getting psyched for the holidays already! It looks like we might have a lengthy Thanksgiving holiday in Ohio and an equally work-free holiday for Christmas. Plus we get to see family!
Oh, and on a side note…I wouldn’t put this past my family…did someone sign us up for something baby-related? I am getting baby mail left and right. One was reminding me to register my new family member (for what, I don’t know) and another was a baby magazine. Someone’s laying down some hints, and they’re not too subtle!
Also, we bought a (nicely discounted) grill! Our very first, the propane type. The store was sold out, so we bought the model; and have already broken a piece. Darn. And we don’t have propane yet. But sometime soon, we will be able to grill out on our little patio!
Corporate Cup Games
I ran my race yesterday, Saturday the 10th. I’m not quite sure of the time on my mile, but it was probably between 6:20 -6:35. Tobin timed me at 6:38, but he timed me through the chute instead of at the finish line. So I’d estimate 6:30. I beat my personal goal and personal best time!
The surprise is that I actually came in second! There were 29 female runners competing against me in the one mile road course. One girl took off in front right at the beginning, and I thought she was going to run a 5 minute mile; but she kept slowing down and slowing down, then doubled over and stopped! I’m pretty sure she had a cramp; we all called the volunteers over but we weren’t stopping either!
For a brief minute, I was front of the pack! The turnaround point was my downfall, though; it was the steepest hill of the race, and as I made it through the turn chute and started downhill, a UWF college girl passed me and stayed about 10 paces ahead of me the rest of the race.
But I finished much better than I expected and am grateful I completed the race. I don’t know how our corporate cup team finished overall, because I left right after the tug-of-war; but I do know one of our ladies won in the hula-hoop contest, my team got third on the blindfolded wheelbarrow, and our company’s egg toss team won second. I got a nifty cup for the wheelbarrow race, but nothing for the run because it was a cumulative score between me and our male runner. Since he wasn’t in the top 8, we didn’t get that great of a cumulative score.
If I get pictures I’ll post them. I know our company got pictures of the runners.
Back to work
Not that he had a huge break or anything, but Tobin is back to studying today; his first day of T-1 ground school! That’s right, folks, he will be flying in JETS from now on! I am proud of him. He has been trying to get ahead during his “break”, so hopefully it won’t be quite as overwhelming this time around.
Check out the “About Us” page for updates on training for Tobin & running (or not) for me. My race is this Saturday!
Oh, and happy birthday, Ava! My beautiful niece is turning two today.
Couples Retreat, Andalusia, AL
An amazingly talented couple in our life group (Robin & Jackie) put together a couples retreat for us at a lake house owned by one of their parents. It was absolutely wonderful and beautiful. There couldn’t have been a more perfect time for Tobin & I to take this break. We were able to relax, enjoy the company of our life group, and learn a whole lot about ourselves as a couple. We were also fed WAY too much food and I learned a lot about feeding 16 people, so I should be ready for Christmas, fam!
Titus & Rogue spent their first weekend away from us; we boarded them at the breeder’s. They looked healthy & happy when we came to pick them up, so we were satisfied with the care they got. In fact, Rogue looks way more fat now; not sure if that’s a good thing or not! How does a puppy gain that much weight in two days?
The group picture, couples from left to right: Michael & Candice, Tim & Melody, Chris & Kim, Tobin & Erin, James & Mary, Greg & Rachel, Robin & Jackie. Bryan & Brittany had already left by then, but they are another the picture by themselves.
And last but not least, there’s also a picture of how Titus & Rogue look now. You can ignore the girl in the background. It was raining that day, so Tobin let me wear his hat & coat; I know, it’s totally my look, right?
What’s up with training?
Tobin completed his T-6 training last week with his final formation flight. Currently, he is studying up for T-1 ground school; that means new boldface (memorized emergency procedures), new systems, new procedures.
T-1 ground school starts this Wednesday (10/7) if his schedule doesn’t change. Ground school is two weeks long, then he heads directly flight side and has eight or nine flights (both instruments and vnavs).
So in about a month, he will be done with Intermediate and will be in (A?)-pool waiting to class up for Advanced.
There’s your training update!
I will try to post later today about our amazing weekend. We went on couples retreat with a bunch of people from our life group at Hillcrest. It was very worth it and so rewarding. I highly recommend going on one someday. It was a very needed break for Tobin and I as well, since work and training have been so stressful lately. Ok, I’ll try to post soon about that.
Belated Labor Day Weekend Post
We had the pleasure of entertaining Tobin’s parents, Mike & Jacque, for Labor Day weekend. We had a great time! We celebrated Jacque’s birthday with a double layer chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry filling (it was a little lopsided, but tasty!). Our two major activities were going on a dolphin cruise (and visiting the house of throwed rolls!) and trying out a local shooting range.
Here are some awesome videos of the dolphins:
Intermediate
I realized after talking to my sister-in-law today that some of you hadn’t realized Tobin was already in Intermediate. Yep, he finished Primary a few days before Labor Day weekend, and started Intermediate this past Tuesday. They are pushing the guys right through; Tobin is in the visual navigation stage, and they are already done with ground school and one simulator. He has a few more sims next week and then he starts flying again. It’s going so quickly now! One of Tobin’s classmates’ wife also keeps a blog, and she gives a good description of what training is like at this point for the guys. Be sure to check it out!
I have updated the About Us page, it has some info on Intermediate and Advanced as well. Keep an eye open for pictures and videos from our most recent visit (Tobin’s parents). Teaser: there are dolphins involved!
Finito!
Don’t know if that is the correct spelling or not, but who cares, Tobin is done with primary! He finished this week on the 2nd with his check ride. It took less than 3.5 months to complete; he started May 26th and finished on Sep 2nd. He’s in the ‘tween stage right now, waiting for Intermediate to start. We think he has a week or two off, since they seem to be starting the guys in two week shifts.
Speaking of shifts, Tobin had the night one last night. Once students aren’t actively training anymore, they get put into a pool and every once in a while get picked for “watch”; Tobin got the short straw and had overnight duty. So he’ll be sleeping while I’m at work today!
Later tonight, Tobin’s parents are coming into town for the weekend! We are excited to spend a few days with them; it’s been too long since we’ve seen any of our relatives. Some items on the agenda include birthday celebrations (Jacque’s) and water activities for Labor Day.
Thanks for checking in on us, and enjoy your Labor Day weekend!
Final Primary Days
Tobin is flying his 4th to last and 3rd to last flights today. If all goes well weather-wise, he’ll be flying his final two flights of primary on Monday! That includes a check ride, so it’s very important for him. Thought you all should know how well he is doing; and how fast he is progressing!
We don’t know yet when Intermediate will start, but at the pace they are pushing the candidates through, we might not get a break at all. We’ll let you know!
Cross Country
An update on Tobin:
He is flying a cross country this weekend! He is planning to fly to Traverse City, MI today & fly back on Sunday. His alternate destination is Denver, CO; he’ll fly there if MI weather is bad. I’ll update you all on his adventure when he gets back.
UPDATE: Tobin stopped in Nashville & I think they are not going any further for some reason. I haven’t heard the specifics. :) They’ll be flying back on Sunday.
Accountability
About Zilla’s comment: Zach, that program is really cool, I used it once ( & crashed, hehe); we definitely would need better computers, though. We’ll see, maybe someday!
And…deep breath…our company has its Corporate Cup Games coming up in mid-October, and I am going to be entering in the one-mile run. Now, it’s a just-for-fun thing, but since I am out of shape anyway, I am going to be training to get my mile time down. No snickers from the running audience, now; my goal is a pretty steep one for me! I once ran a mile in 6:45, but I was in pretty good shape at the time. So, my goal for this event is a 7 minute mile, flat. And while I still have the bravery to agree to it, I’m making you all my accountability partners. Yep. Keep an eye on the “About Us” page for an update about my running schedule. And if it’s been awhile since you’ve seen an update, feel free to ask about it! I’ll be putting together a run plan tonight.
Ok, there we go, I bit the bullet and now 7 minute mile here I come!
Moving up
Tobin finished his instruments phase simulator flights today! Tomorrow we expect him to be scheduled for a real flight; I believe he has 15 flights to complete before the instruments phase is over. From what I have been hearing, the program is pretty intense, and he will be double turning frequently. Double turning means having two flights in one day. Also, he may have a cross country or two as well, which will count for several flights; the cross country flights are generally on weekends as they go overnight.
We really appreciate your prayers and encouragement. This is definitely an intense and high stress training program, and Tobin spends about 12 hours every day either studying or flying…if not more. He handles it really well, but he can really use all the support you can give him. We miss you all, hope to see you soon.
Welcome home, Rogue
First day:
This didn’t last long. Apparently, Titus doesn’t like sharing food bowls:
So fuzzy.
Some separation was necessary. Titus is a tad too much sometimes; he loves her, but he doesn’t quite realize the size difference, I think.
Please can we play now?
Kongs!
My new toy; lovin’ it.
But I think his is better.
Aww.
Cute lil porker, isn’t she?
Sportin’ my new bling.
Tug of war!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc7y-g1mFHQ
Since we last saw her, her back legs have improved tremendously; in fact, I think they have already improved since we got her. They were splayed out, but are looking much better. It’s my opinion, from hearing what the breeder had to say, that since she had zero motivation to walk & run around (both siblings died, so she was the only puppy) she just didn’t develop her muscles as well as most puppies. She is looking really good today, and Titus is sure giving her her exercise! We have her first vet appt on Monday, so we will find out more then. However, every puppy gets a cert of health before leaving the breeder, and their vet seemed to think she was ok.
Titus looooooooves his new playmate, but he is very overwhelming; she is happy to be put in the crate by herself for a few hours just to get some rest.
Time to get dinner out of the oven. Blueberry pecan French toast, mm mm!
Visits and Surprises
A pile of wood…what are these kids up to?
There’s the mysterious carpenter and his workbench. What’s that strange thing he is building?
Oooo. Shaping up into something, huh?
The happy builders/designers. This is early in the day. We were a little more exhausted towards the end of the day.
Yay! Project nearly complete.
What’s this addition, you might wonder?
And a random picture of our sphinx-shiba. Hi, Titus!
In the midst of the construction, we got a visit from Tobin’s wonderful parents! They brought us another piece of the puzzle we were putting together.
All four of us. It was forecast to rain all weekend, but we had a beautiful sunshiny day at the beach and it only decided to get muggy and rainy at the end of the day. Thanks, God!
Ok, and these two videos will show you what we have been spending 2 weeks of building, painting, and coaxing/training on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WqPyi90_dI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUagH3ORQ14
So, in 2 short weeks (weekend work only), we got this all designed and built. Ok, Tobin did most of the building. But I helped! And painted. Now if we can just get the dogs to use it…
PS, a quick video of Titus and his Jack Russell buddies:
A Little Bit Angry
Why should we be so busy that we don’t have time to sit down for five minutes and let our families know how we’re doing? Living so far away, it may be the only connection they have with us besides occasional phone calls and letters or packages. And it makes me a little bit angry when I don’t have time to do it! Or when I don’t have time for other things, as well.
The point is, we are so BUSY! It’s like the devil wants us to be chasing our tails 24/7 so we don’t have time to do what’s really important. Seriously, Tobin and I have NO children, we’re just starting out as a couple, we don’t have a lot of leadership responsibility in the church or our jobs, and we’re still hardly able to keep up.
Anyway, just wanted to let you all know we’re alive and kicking, and I will have an update for you in the near future; but no deadlines, because we have enough of those as it is!
Teaser: we were able to nearly complete a home project this weekend, and I will post pictures of it to let you guys see. Hopefully, we can finish it up this weekend!
Rogue, 5 Weeks Old
I would like to introduce you to Rogue, the baby red Shiba Inu, at five weeks old. Tobin and I went to visit her this weekend; right after a trip to the beach, which is why I’m so burnt in these pictures. The breeder told us she was a couch potato (we were so excited!), but she couldn’t sit still while we were there, so we didn’t get a superb photo of her. She is CHUBBY! Titus never looked like that, but he had four siblings. Rogue is an only child now that her brother and sister died. 
If anyone wants a Shiba Inu, there are several more for sale…also, the breeder has a litter of Westie/Japanese Chin puppies available. Oh, and one adult female black and tan Shiba that is fixed that he is willing to let go for FREE, but only to a qualified owner. Please get in touch with me if you are interested!
Here’s Rogue; her feet turn out in the back, which we need to get checked out to see if it will be a problem. But for now, it gives her a cute waddle that may or may not go away.
Lil wrinkly face.
Doing what puppies do best. And 6 month old dogs too, apparently.
Isn’t she a cutie?!
Hates to be held, for the moment. Doesn’t she look like a little teddy bear?
Checking me out.
Trying her darndest to get down. Almost succeeded.
Isn’t she PUDGY?!
The end.
Little sisters grow up too
Congratulations, Micah and Betsey! My younger sister got married on the 4th of July, 2009. Elizabeth Rose Vastbinder…I’m going to have to get used to that one.
This is going to be a ginormous post, but I had to put some awesome wedding pictures up here; thank goodness I had a great photographer along for this trip (thanks, love!).
I threw a shower for Betsey the day before her wedding; yikes! It turned out to be a lot of fun, thankfully everything was pretty much ready and we only invited a few people to keep the level of stress low. Here is the cheese fondue and chips all ready to go (thanks for your help, Lacey!); we had a dessert later (YUM, Em!).
One of the games was a scavenger hunt, which didn’t really have any winners, but we got some nice shots of wedding day things. Here are some of Betsey’s centerpieces. She made a paper lantern with vellum sides and lit candles in the middle. Gorgeous! The fortune cookies you can see on the table were the wedding favors; and EVERY ONE hand-made by the bride! She’s so creative! Other tables had white paper Japanese lanterns on them with candles inside.
This photo was to check off the item “something from the college the bride and groom graduated from”. Yes, all three girls in the photo graduated from Grace College. (See the “G” and the “C”?) But it was also a cute photo of Betsey and her friends, Sara and Cassie.
Now the wedding day! Here’s a handsome schmandsome usher escorting mother-of-the-bride down the aisle. Way to go, Zach! You did great. You can also see some family members heads. I couldn’t believe how huge JC (the shaved head) has gotten. He’s a bodybuilder now!
Here’s Elyse, a beautiful junior bridesmaid!
Emily…and her hair looks pretty great if I do say so myself. That’s the first time I’ve ever returned the favor and fixed HER hair. But she already had the hard part, curling it, done.
Me, all blurry. Tobin must have teared up when he saw me coming down the aisle, couldn’t even focus the camera right.
Caleb and Grace, ring bearer and flower girl for a second wedding! They did GREAT…aren’t they super adorable????
And finally, the stunning bride! Seriously, she glowed!
Introducing the bride and groom as husband and wife for the very first time! Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Vastbinder!
Caught ‘em. Aw, so adorable.
Ok, really, I think she’s physically glowing. Don’t they look happy?
CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN! This was before the plug was found slightly unplugged. After that was fixed, it flowed SO smoothly. But it’s still nearly perfect here! And let me tell you, it was fanTAStic!
Being ladylike.
“Cutting the cake”. Best cake ever. Period.
Under he goes.
Sparklers lit as the bride and groom leap into their getaway vehicle! Hopefully we’ll get some good photos of that from the official photographer, because it was neat to see!
That was our Fourth! We didn’t see very many fireworks, but it was so great to see all my family again. Luke and Lacey’s family was there through Saturday (Grace, Caleb, Ava, and new baby Jaden). Dan and Emily stuck around with us through about noon on Sunday. Then we said goodbye to Mom, Dad, Zach, and Elyse, and headed out on our long drive south.
A couple of minor snags and we got home safely! There was a tiny incident when a wallet was misplaced on the roof of our vehicle (whoops, thought I learned my lesson after the basketball shoes incident; those were And 1′s and everything!). Then, during the last 40 miles, we narrowly escaped hitting a deer; I am SO grateful that Tobin was driving at that moment, or there would have been one less deer in Florida, and our car would have been a lot shorter.
We’re glad to be back. Titus is missing his dog cousin, George. He whimpers because we don’t play quite rough enough for him. Poor little guy. He’ll have a sister soon enough!
Dog Days
I HAD to post really quickly to show you all Titus’s first trip to any dog park…and we chose to go to one with a beach! It was so fun to see him running free, no leashes, and playing with other dogs. Of course, he chose the mastiff as his favorite playmate:
The water was SO warm! I choose to believe that’s because of the 90+ degree weather we’ve been having, not the other reason. This picture was taken before I let him off his leash. We don’t have one of Tobin bc he was studying. Pretty soon after I let him loose, he ran and jumped straight into the water! He was deep enough to have to swim; hahaha, it was sooo funny! I don’t think he had any idea he couldn’t run on TOP of the water. That was the last time he went in willingly that day. However, Tobin missed it so I did put him in one more time so T could see him swim.
I don’t know how clearly you can see his coat, but RIGHT after accidentally going for a swim, Titus ran like crazy to the sand (after a good shake) and rolled around in an attempt to get nice and dry. Lovely.
Here you can see he was at least willing to get his paws wet.
A good face shot:
There was a shower on the beach to clean your dog off, but when we got home he still had sand in his fur. Plus, he was shedding quite a bit, so Tobin wanted to try brushing some of the extra fur out. First of all, a furminator is a great investment (thanks for the tip, Em!). After Titus stopped flipping out when we tried to brush him, we groomed him for about five minutes straight, and here’s the result:
Our baby is losing all his fuzzy puppy fur! From what I hear, this isn’t even that bad compared to when Shibas blow coat as adults. But it looked like a lot to us!
Search for “Titus Shiba Inu 19 weeks old” on YouTube and you can see 2 more videos of Titus, these at the dog beach.
I know, I know
It’s been a long time! We are a busy little couple. In brief, here’s the details (pictures at bottom of post):
- Went to Ohio for the Memorial Day weekend; took us 12 hours to get there, Titus (who is FOUR months old now) did great, and we had a wonderful time with Tobin’s side of the family. We saw Mike, Jacque, Bill, Kellan, Jim, Dixie, Dominick, Tom, and Norma Jean. Betsey and Micah even made it out on Sunday for part of our picnic, and it was great to see them! I showed them around Troy (it has such a cute downtown!) a little as well.
- Tobin started primary the day after we got back from Ohio. He has been in for two weeks now, and is doing awesome! He is scoring very well on his tests and is studying as we speak for tomorrow’s exam. He has three this week, keep him in your prayers! Pretty soon he’ll be starting simulators instead of just classwork. He got his G-suit and helmet, to explain the photos below.
- At work, we have been undergoing a major reorganization. I have a new job now; well, sort of. At work, my job has been shifted from the facilities side to the production side. However, I haven’t been told yet who my boss is, so for now I am just continuing to do my current projects. I should find out (in the words of my old boss) in the next “days or weeks”. Hm. It’s encouraging though, and I have received a lot of positive comments that I was NOT expecting. (my gut feeling was actually that I was going to get laid off when I got called in the office…pleasant surprise!)
- Went blueberry picking this Saturday with our neighbors (Mike and Jennifer). It was $1/lb, and there were so many blueberries! We picked 9 pounds just for us; Mike and Jennifer got another 13 1/2 lbs. Wow! We froze all of them and are planning blueberry pancakes, muffins, and pie for the next few weeks!
Now enjoy some pictures:
Not sure everyone is 100% happy about this picture being taken.
Bruvvers.
Cornhole! If you look really closely, you can see the bag in the air. It’s gray. Yeah, I know, I need to build the fam a Michigan set, right?
Look who came to visit! This is the ONLY picture I had with Micah in it…sorry, bud!
My Buzz! And puppy…
We saw a rainbow on our way back! We could see both ends, it was HUGE!
What I look like in full flight gear 5x’s too big!
The real flying guy. Uniform looks a little better on him, huh?
He’s flying!
Ok, that’s it for now! Putting pictures on here is exhausting. We’ll try to keep you all better posted. Check out the “about us” page for some updated info about primary/intermediate/advanced training.
Oh, and for some GREAT pictures of Titus, check out my facebook album “El Perro”. If you’re not friends with me on facebook, just ask! If you’re some crazy lunatic, don’t bother! Thanks, looking forward to a WEDDING IN JULY!!! Congratulations, sister dearest!
