Quick note

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Thought you might all like to celebrate with us!  We have officially paid off 3 out of 4 of my student loans as of early this week.  :)   One left, and it is not interest-accruing, hallelujah!

We are safely back from Disney, by the way.  Betsey and Micah are still visiting, now in P’cola instead of Orlando.  Will update soon with Disney info.

Dizzy Land!!!

This is my very first post!!!  I like it better when Erin posts because she is a very gifted writer but I’m going to fill in for today.  I’m gonna get right down to it.  Erin has taken on several new responsibilities at work, some of which are a cause for headache and grief…but she’s done very well.  Scrap reduction team, green belt project, and a very needy husband have her very busy nowadays.  She was cooking up a storm last night and made all sorts of dishes for our Disney trip including: pea salad, egg salad, some type of bean salad, and has every meal planned.  Erin is the logistician for our “Disney Army” which currently consists of Erin, myself, Micah, and Betsey.  Any other takers?

The “plethora” of salads

 

More food…including taters

My job is moving along, I graduated from API (Aviation Preflight Indoctrination) this past Wednesday and received a snazzy looking paper certificate with my name on it, and a firm congratulatory handshake from a Marine Corps Major.  I’d have to say my favorite part of the whole 6 week course was the helo dunker.  It was the most challenging and scary thing I did while I was there!  Now I am in C-pool and am waiting to class up for Primary.  C pool consists of daily 0830 musters…piece o’ cake.

The Snazzy Certificate

In other news, the truck brakes went kaput so most of the money from Erin’s car is going to getting that fixed, but the rest is going towards our vicious 25 lb watchdog…TITUS!  We can’t wait to go pick him up…looks like it may be around the 28th of March.

Other than that we are currently packing and making final preparations for our trip.  We ask that you keep us in your prayers for safe travel, and for Erin to forgive me when I take her on all those roller coasters with me.  We will post pictures when we return.
