A fun date night

This is a picture of Ryan & Erin Hutton. I am a creeper and I found this picture on Erin's facebook account and downloaded it for my blogging use, but anyway...I do have a reason for my stalker-like habits.

Ryan and Erin are in the Air Force too...well actually Ryan is, but an active Air Force spouse or any other military spouse might say that they are "in it" because pretty much they are.

AND another cool thing about Ryan and Erin is that they are fellow Aggies that graduated w/ Ben & I. Ryan and Ben went through Air Force ROTC together and I got to meet them at Ryan and Ben's comissioning ceremony.

AND the best part about all this Air Force/Aggie commradery is that they live in Panama City, just three mere hours from us! So, Erin facebooked me recently w/ the brilliant idea to meet at our halfway point: Destin and suggested that we go to Whataburger because they are deprived & don't have one in Panama City. Of course poor Ben is pretty deprived too and hardly ever gets to eat a Whataburger since his wife is not all into that fast food business :)

We met them last night for Whataburger and coffee and had a great time! Its amazing how much we have in common being Texans, aggies, believers & Air Forcers. And it was so good to be able to relate to people in a similar position that we are.

Ryan is training to be an Air Battle Manager...basically he gets to play chess w/ the airplanes and tells them where to go in combat and what enemies might be near- He is the man w/ the plan... pretty cool stuff! And he gets to fly in that really cool looking plane in the picture above w/ the huge satellite on top!

It will be fun to keep up w/ them throughout our Air Force careers! Yay for Texan Aggie Air Force people!
