This past weekend

Eric has some friends over on Friday night. It actually went a lot better than I thought. And we finally went to the pool for the first time.

Saturday night Tops in Blue which is a variety show put on by the Air Force preformed at the MPEC. Eric and I went and we brought one of his classmates with us. It was actually really good and a nice way to spend a Saturday evening and best of all it was F-R-E-E! Sunday was pretty much a lazy day. We primer-ed the brown wall so we could paint it back to it's original color.

Why not to catch the softball with your face!

A couple days after Eric arrived at Sheppard he was out catching fly balls and he decided to try to catch it with his face. LOL, just kidding. The ball got lost in the sun and came and hit Eric right on the nose. Although, he did still manage to catch the ball. I was still back home in Henderson when I get a call from a weird number. All Eric says is "Babe, I'm in the ER" umm.. okay for what? Then he finally goes on to say that he was hit in the nose with the softball and it's broken. Phew, okay I can deal with that! :) We skyped later that night and this is what his nose looked like:

I forgot when he went back to the doctor, but we found out he had to have surgery within a week or two. The swelling went down for the most part and you could only tell it was crooked by really looking at it. I moved down to Wichita Falls on June 12th and later the next week we found out that his surgery was going to be on my Birthday! Bummer! Out of all the days in June they HAD to pick Thursday the 18th?!
After surgery Eric was pretty much on bed rest for a couple days. It looked pretty bad, but surprisingly he didn't have any bruising. On the 3rd day he was finally fed up of sitting at the house so I agreed he could go to Walmart with me. I made him ride around in this:

He was still on a lot of pain medication so it was pretty funny to see him operate it.
It's been a month and a half since the surgery and his nose looks great! Though, he is constantly and picking his nose because it hurts to blow it. It's still very tender, but it's getting better! Thank God for free health care!

We Have Orders!!

To MacDill AFB in Tampa, FL. We are REALLY excited! It's definitely a looong way from home! At least it's a nice, big city and family can come and visit. Eric is due to graduate his tech school on Nov 23rd, but I guess they're trying to change it to the 20th. Hopefully that means we would be able to leave sooner. We'll be spending 10 days at home and then have 5 days to drive to FL, but we'll probably make it in 4.

We're hoping to get a nice apartment off base for half the price. The "houses" they are offering Eric's rank on base is definitely NOT worth $1446. I just wish it was sooner than 4 months away!

Our Photo Session

These are just a few of the pictures out of the photo session we had done when I went to visit Eric in San Antonio a few months ago. We never had engagement photos done so this doubled as them. I was really happy with how they turned out!

Getting Started

I'm basically creating this so our family can follow what we do. Since we've both had to move away from just about everyone and phone calls can only explain so much so this will be a good way to keep them updated.
