news

okay, so now that Chris has told most everyone he intends to, i figure i can safely put his/our news up here so everyone else can know... last week, he got is next assignment... so, it looks like he'll be reporting 15 Jan to Lakenheath AFB in merry old England!!! quite a shock to us all, yes... but exciting!!! and now that i'm over the surprise of it all, i'm beginning to look forward to visiting him there, and the possibilities of maybe living there myself someday...

there's still so much for us to talk about, and lots of options to consider... so we have a rough plan, but nothing set yet, and things could easily change... right now we're in the information gathering stage, and once we have lots of info, we'll start looking more closely at devising a plan...

chris's mom was here visiting this past week (and we made a weekend trip to NC to see chris and his place)... it was a good time... we went one day to see an IMAX movie at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum... it was called Fighter Pilot (i think) and it was about an F-15 pilot, and the training mission called Red Flag... the movie was super neat... and i got to see a lot about the job of a flyer... and to top off the weekend, chris showed us a real F-15, up close and personal... that was way awesome too!!!

there was lots more to the weekend, but i'm pretty busy here at work, and don't have the time right now to put it all down... so maybe i'll get to it in a few days, or maybe jerri will put it in her blog (gives her a reason to post again... she's "Been in Indiana for 4 days" for quite some time now)...

back to work... yippee!! (lol)
