WELL, my husband has already performed such duties.  Read about the amazing-ness HERE.

Blog Challenge

I'm totally copying a BAJILLION people in doing this, but I figured its a good way to help me "get in the habit" of blogging better.

Day 1:  A picture of yourself and a description of how your day was...

I decided to go to paris.  I also brought my living room clock with me...i love it that much :)

so far so good.  nothing huge.  i think mcdonald's gave me a regular coke and not a diet one...thats the worst thing thats happened....  going to look at apartments with the hubby in an hour.  and then to talk to financial aid people about him becoming a PILOT...hopefully we can get our life figured out today...lol.

Hello

Hello there all my currently non-existent readers :)  someday I will have a lot of friends who read this blog and I will laugh at this first silly post.

Anyways, a little history: my husband {and I...sorta} are in the Air Force ROTC program.  He wants to be a pilot like his grandpa was and I, well, I want to be the pilot's wife :)  all supportive and such!  

My dad was in the air force once upon a time ago:

 

 

• all men look good in blue •

I'm way excited to get this show on the road and go be awesome air force people.  Its SO MUCH FUN to listen to the ladies at AF functions talk about their lives or to hear stories from the husbands, etc.  Not that I'm in a hurry to get out of college...{but I kinda am...Ive been here long enough...lol not really, if that were true I'd be graduated...but you know what I mean!}

Anyways.  Its super late/early/ridiculous time and I need to go to sleep.  I thought I should post SOMETHING on here in case a potential reader stumbles over here and thinks I'm a crazy person who has a blog but doesn't write anything on it ever.  I try to write more than never; sometimes I'm successful :)  This blog is hopefully the start of something awesome, however, because I need SOMETHING to semi-document my life {I'm a horrid journal-keeper}.

Questions for Y•O•U:

1: do you keep a journal??  are you good at it?

~journal=blog.  I don't have to keep track of it and I can add pictures, and once a month on here {now will be more like 2x's a week!!} is much more productive than literally •never•

2: any experience in the USAF??  family? date? self?  LET ME KNOW so we can be AF blogging buddies!!

~like i said before.  dad was in, but I don't remember it really.  he was out before I was old enough to even know/care.
