Thankful.

This past weekend, B and I celebrated our first weekend in a month to be able to just be with each other and relax! It was so wonderful!

We picked up our pottery that we made on Valentine's Day from the paint cafe, drank coffee, cleaned house (Ben is great at getting those perfectly straight vacuum lines), went on a mini date, searched for furniture and played with several friends.

We went over to a couple's house on Friday night to play games and eat dessert-- I am pleased to say that I got to teach the group Nelson's and they loved it! we laughed hysterically the whole night.

We also had a some couples over on Sunday night for cupcakes and played some more games!

Needless to say, it was such a relaxing weekend and one that we are so thankful to the Lord for.

BUT the most exciting news of the week, that we have been anticipating all weekend, is that my parents are coming to visit us on Thursday!!

They are going to spend a long weekend with us and tour the oasis of Pensacola (slight sarcasm here), but the beaches are definitely better than in Texas and are much closer to us so that is a plus :)

We are soo excited to show them our apartment and the city and surrounding areas!

AND next week, Jacki and Anna are coming to visit us for a few days!! YAY! Hopefully we don't get too spoiled by all the visits. We aren't going to know what to do with ourselves after they are all gone!

I totally know what you mean! We are having people over in a few weeks for two straight weeks...we will be so spoiled! I am really looking forward to it, though.

It was great to see you last Saturday. Ben's almost done with API! Is he loving the "fun" part?? Tobin is almost finished with the first four weeks, just one test left!

We will have to have you two over once the spring breakers have gone. Then you can see the puppy, too! Talk to you soon.

Hey Ashley
It was great to hear from you. My husband is a Nav. in the RC 135. What does your husband fly? Air Force life is good we have enjoyed it, accept for all the deployments. My husband will actually be getting out next summer to go to Med. school- we are hoping to move back to Texas. It's funny how quickly everything goes we have been married 7 and a half years and the Air Force has definantly been a big part of those years, it is actually weird to think of living any other way. We haven't moved too much just San Antonio to Del Rio back to San Antonio and then to Omaha where we have been the past 5 years. Kyle's plane doesn't fly out of too many bases, so this is the place to be. Kyle has definantly done quite a bit of traveling, but me not much (just many lonely road trips with the kids from Nebraska to Texas). Where do you hope to go next. If you are ever near, just let me know- we LOVE visitors. I hope all is well and enjoy these times of training- at least he is home (I know they can be a drag and the late nights and studying gets really old). Love you and miss you lot's. Keep in touch!
