Oil Spill?

I haven't up-dated in awhile. So, I figured I should update now. There was a Oil Spill near New Orleans a couple of days ago. They are saying that the oil should be here in Pensacola by Monday. I really hope I don't see any sea life. I will seriously cry. I can handle fish, but I don't know if I can handle seeing Dolphins, Turtles, Sting Rays and all those other precious Animals. I will be taking pictures over the next few days of how Pensacola changes. Hoping they are completely wrong on the oil coming here.

It rained Friday, which was awesome. I love the rain. I wish it rained all the time. We have a 'pond' out off our balcony! HA! It comes and go's of course. It's still fun.

I am hoping to go home this month and visit. I miss my family and I miss what friends I have down there. But, I really miss my family! I never knew I would miss them this much! So, now the plan is to find a cheat plane ticket. Hopefully. HA

What else is there to talk about. I am actually not sure. I will be posting more tomorrow!

THUNDERSTRUCK!

OKC THUNDER WON!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited to say that the Oklahoma City Thunder won their very first playoff game! This team is very young and they have only been around for 2 season! That is a great achievement for them! The series is now 2-1. Hopefully this Saturday in OKC we can win! Supposedly the noise level was over 109 at the Ford Center. That is LOUD!

Also, today was the NFL draft! WOW.. Talk about Oklahoma having an amazing day! Sam Bradford was chosen 1st! Woohoo! Gerald McCoy was chosen 3rd! Trent Williams was chosen 4. That is 3 Sooners in the first 4 picks! Did anyone see that one coming? Nope! #21 went to Jermaine Gresham! There were a couple of OSU boys in there too.

It was just a great day for all of Oklahoma!

I will write more tomorrow. I am way too exciting to be writing right now!

THUNDER UP!

Bed + Thinking

So, here I am thinking at 12:21am. It seems my friendship with my bestfriend doesn't mean anything. I go out of my way to send her messages and try to talk to her, but she is always too busy. Yes, I know she has a child, but she sure has time to hang out with people. It just doesn't seem right. I know I shouldn't be this upset about it, but I am. She is the one person that I thought would always be there, but now I don't know. I move away and I feel as if I don't even matter. I love her and her daughter to death! It's like she is my sister, but I'm not sure what she is now. It is just so hard being miles apart! Maybe I am just being selfish. Hell, I don't even know anymore.

Andrew and I went to an amazing dinner! We went to the Pensacola Ale House! Yummy! Here is what I had!




Yummy right? It sure was! It did have a little more fat than I would have liked, but I made it work. This was our dessert!




Capt'n Jacks Buried Treasure! Oh my gosh! It was simply amazing!

Nothing much more went on today! More soon!

Average Day

Nothing really exciting went on today. Some how I managed to sleep through the Blue Angels practicing. If you have seen them, you know what they sound like. Imagine that extremely low over your house/apartment. That's how it sounds here. They usually practice from 8:30-9:30. I woke up at 10:30. Guess I was tired or just extremely lazy.
I am hoping very soon that I will be able to go and do more photos of the Blue Angels. Especially when they are doing their tricks! Maybe even get a little closer to the hanger for some take off photos! Who knows!

Andrew starts his classes in 19 days, which means, I will probably be blogging a lot more, since he won't be around. But when he is around, he will be studying non-stop. I am hoping it goes smoothly for him. I am sure it will!

It has been beautiful here. I do wish it would rain a little more. I am sure when it gets closer to hurricane season, it will!

The names of the people involved in the jet crash from here were released today. It's a tragedy to see how young they were. Thoughts and prayers continue to go to them during this time!

That is all for now!

BTW, I wrote this from my phone! How cool is that? Thank you iphone for having a app that I can use! Now I have no reason not to write!

Air Show Weekend!!!

This past weekend was a blast. I will give you a run down of it.

Friday we went to the Marina and 'debriefed' with Col. Berry. As in drinking beers and just hanging out and talking! It was fun. Later that night we met up with the Hickmans. They were down here visiting to find a house that they could move into at the end of this month. We ended up going to "Maguires". It was amazing! I had a Ruben Sandwich. It was tasty. I wasn't able to eat the whole thing!

Saturday, Andrew volunteered to go to the lighthouse on base and help them there. He was there from about 11-5 laying sod. He came home and we played WOW for most of the night. I know exciting right?

Sunday, we woke up bright and early to get ready to drive to Eglin AFB for the Air Show! We arrived there around the time that it was starting! It was a blast! Of course, I had my camera with me. I was having a blast. We walked around the show and looked at all the airplanes, then we went and sat on the bleachers literally right in front of the USAF Thunderbirds. I had my plan. I wanted to get pictures of them getting into their aircrafts etc. Before the Thunderbirds flew, (Which was at the end of the show), We were able to see a F-22 Raptor fly (Andrew's favorite plane) Oh my gosh! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Such a beautiful aircraft. How I managed to get some decent pictures of it, I am not sure. The Thunderbirds did an amazing job, but in my opinion, they are no Blue Angels. They Blue Angels tend to fly closer in my opinion. But at the end of the show, I was able to meet the Thunderbirds. It was a blast! They were so nice. I got my picture taken with a couple of them and received 1-6 autographs! I also did not get sun burnt. Well, I did a little on my chest, but nothing too serious. I kept applying sunscreen to myself. I was so paranoid. I didn't want another itching attack! Overall it was a blast! Here are some photos from it!

I also forgot to mention that Yesterday, Monday April 12, 2010 a Navy Trainer Jet went down in Georgia. The plane was stationed from here in Pensacola, so this hits pretty close to home. Keep the families in your thoughts and prayers

Amazing Experience!

WOW! What a great day of photography I had on Wednesday! I can't believe all the amazing shots! Well in my opinion they are amazing. Others might not think so. It was great practice for me to get ready to take some pictures of the Thunderbirds on Sunday! (Pictures below)

*Blue Angels 1, 2, 3 and 7 (4 was on the ground since they were giving a ride to someone)*

*This always impresses me. I dunno how they practice this without hitting each other. I guess that is why they are some of the best pilots in the world*

That is just some of the pictures that I took. I have about 50 more. I am getting extremely excited for Sunday. Kind of mad that we aren't going tomorrow, but I guess that's what happens when you volunteer for something. Oh well. I will find something to do. Maybe go run around downtown and take pictures of the historic buildings. Or go to the really old cemetery and see what I can find there.

New Camera Lens!

So my awesome and amazing man and I went to Best Buy and he decided to get me a new lens for my camera since he bought a PS3 about a month ago. Sweet right? He is the greatest! I love him so much! Anyways! Here it is!

*Canon- 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Zoom Lens*

Isn't it pretty? I sure think it is. I am going to try it out tomorrow while watching the Blue Angels practice. Getting in some practice before this weekend when we go to the Air Show. My camera collection is slowly starting to grow! So excited to take some completely awesome photos!

Updates!

Here are some updates from my last blog. The OU women did not win their game in the final 4. They certainly fought to the last second. Oh well, there is always next year. Along with every sport OU has. Ha.

So I am starting to get a little paranoid about being here in Pensacola. Last week they found a body in a car. They said that there was foul play in that one. Then on Sunday they found another dead body in a car. But they haven't released those details yet. Well, I guess yesterday morning someone was shot in a lot brawl. I am certainly not going out during the night unless Andrew is with me. Freaky! I need to stop reading the news so I don't know when these things happen!

I know this was a short blog! But oh well!
