It has been a seriously epic year. It has had some major ups and downs, and has definitely been a journey of a year. C and I started the year off engaged, and jumping into planning our wedding so we could get the wedding of our dreams while we were still in Arizona. We scheduled our wedding to be a few weeks before his B-Course graduation, so the two wouldn't conflict. Eventually came drop night, when we would find out our assignments, and I have had my heart set on Germany since I was a little girl, when we saw that was available, we knew that was going to be the slot for us. C rolled some dice (literally) and an hour later we were calling family to tell them the good news, three years in Germany! Amazing!
We kept rolling through the year, getting more and more excited for things to come, and working our butts off. C was flying and studying and I was working and going to school four days a week. Luckily our wedding venue handled basically everything for our wedding.
Soon we found out that C's graduation was moved forward, to the night before our wedding. Awesome, now our families can go to both! Never try to plan around the Air Force folks.
It honestly worked out so well, but took some major scrambling on our part to make sure we got to spend time with everyone, and got everything done!
His graduation and the wedding came and went with out any problems, and they were both incredible days!
Then came time to start out processing and getting ready to move, and everything was going pretty smooth until it was time to go through medical records. Everyone kept saying it was going to be fine, so we weren't too worried about it, and went about finishing getting ready to move.
I ended up getting medically denied for moving overseas, for about 2 more years, so there went that, bummer.
Our move was put on hold, and everyone from his class had left already, so that was a bit tough, but we have enjoyed getting to spend the winter in Arizona, where the weather is much better than the 120 degree dog days of summer.
We talked around about our options, and put in a request for C to be sent to one of the two bases in Korea, and a month or so after that found out that wasn't going to happen. We joke about C being the only fighter pilot to be denied a slot to Korea.
We have spent a bit of time waiting to hear about where we might be sent, when four choices got sent down the ladder to us. Ultimately it was not our choice, but up to the powers that be, who get to look at my medical record.
A TFI (guard unit) slot to Mcentire in South Carolina, a TFI in Vermont, a TFI in Tulsa, and an active duty slot to Shaw in South Carolina. We crossed our fingers and hoped for the best in terms of what we wanted to go to.
Luckily, as of right now, it looks like we got our choice, Mcentire. We are actually just as excited for it as we were about Germany, so the downs were definitely worth it! We are going to have SO much fun!
We are finishing out the year enjoying the cooler weather, let's be honest, to us it feels cold after the summer we just had. We definitely could not be happier right now. Well, C could, he could be in the air right now,
So let's see, 2015 a list:
- C Graduated B-course
- We got married (Best day ever)
- I got to ride around in an F-16
- I got my personal training certification
- We made it through the year without twerking.
- I took off an air plane
- Survived the hottest summer in the history of the universe
We already see some great things happening in 2016 (the first month or so even, stay tuned), I hope you all had a great year, and even better one next year.
