Blue Angels, Cookout and Beach


I am starting to love the fact that on some days I am awoken by the Blue Angels flying around. Usually they fly on Tuesday and Wednesday at 8am. Well I guess this morning they decided they wanted to do a joy flight. I love the south of them flying over. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get used to the sound, but I am! I love it! It's a beautiful sound! Andrew said that we would go on base next week and find a good spot for me to take pictures of them while they are practicing. It is hard to sit on the balcony here at the apartment and try to take pictures because there are all these trees around. Next weekend we are going to Eglin Air Force Base for the Air show! I get to see the Thunderbirds fly and of course get pictures of them. I kind of wish I bad a bigger lens, but I know my camera will do. Especially since I will know where they will be and I wont be looking in weird places for them to come out of. I am hoping the pictures I get of the Thunderbirds turn out better than the last air show I went too. Of course that was like 2 years ago and I didn't have the camera I have now. Also getting pictures of the other aircrafts that will be there! Here are some pictures that I took about 2 years ago! (Click the pictures to get the full image!)

Anyways, I am very excited about this air show next weekend.

Friday night we went over to the Thomas' house for a cookout. We had a fire, roasted marshmellows and had amazing food. Lt. Thomas can cook for me anyday! HA! It was great hanging out with friends!


Andrew and I went to the beach Saturday with some of the other LT's and their wives! It was a blast, minus the fact that I look like a lobster right now. Oh well. I will survive and when it goes away I will be slightly tan. I am planning on starting to work out starting this week and to lay by the pool. I start training more tomorrow with the Navy Marine-Corps Relief Society. I am very excited to experience it and have fun doing it!

The OU women play basketball tonight. They are in the Final 4. We just have to win this game to get to the championship game! So very excited for the girls! Gotta show my OU pride while living here in Florida! Good luck ladies!

Well there isn't much more to write right now. Have a great Easter!

Moved In



Here I am blogging from my new home! It is absolutely perfect for Andrew, Nova and I. Our furniture and boxes arrived here Saturday morning. It was certainly a blast putting all of our new furniture out and making our apartment actually look like a home!

*Our living room... the TV is bigger right now*

*Some of the decorations in the kitchen. Thinking about putting up some greenery to make it pop a little more*

*Our bedroom, not fully set up*

*Guest bathroom*

*These arrived Saturday evening from my parents*

Andrew has been working hard at getting stuff out of the boxes. I prefer to take the box to where the contents belong and unload it that way. He prefers to just get the stuff out of the boxes. We need to get rid of a lot of stuff in my opinion. He has been working hard.

This morning I was woken up by a Pensacola Thunderstorm. It brought back memories of being at home. It was certainly a wonderful wake up.
Tuesday and Weds I have been woken up by the Blue Angels doing their practice at 830am. Last week scared the crap out of me more than this week did. I wasn't expecting them to start flying anytime soon. But that proved me wrong.

I am slowly meeting people here. Hoping to become good friends with some of the girls down here.

Well, there isn't much more to write right now. I am seriously wanting to write more in this blog about my new life and new experiences here in Pensacola, Florida!

New Home

Well I certainly suck at keeping up with a blog. Since my last post was in January and it is now the middle of March. I am going to try to keep up with it now, since I am in a new place!

This past weekend I moved to Florida to live with Andrew. Let me tell you. Leaving my family was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. The ride down was a pain. I hated it, but I did have a blast taking pictures of the trip.. Plus, I was able to text one of my good friends for the good part of my trip. I miss her like crazy!

Florida is beautiful. We arrived early Monday morning and slept until about 3. It was such a nice, well needed sleep! We ended up going to look at the apartment that we will be getting tomorrow! I am thrilled about it. It is so BIG and spacious! I love it. Our furniture will arrive Saturday morning! I can't wait to start setting everything up. It will look great. I hope (Pictures one day. I promise)

Anyways, that is about all that I have to say right now. I will write more later
