Crazy Good News!!!

My first thought was we are getting out of moving to Alabama. No, we are still packing up the truck tomorrow. Joe just came home with a big smile on his face. He just got a phone call from one of the Colonels at AFIT. He personally called to tell Joe that he was selected for distinguished graduate!!! Not only that, but they pulled Joe's record that is going before the force managment board and updated it with this great accompishment. In case we have not told you, the AF has too many people, so they are laying off a bunch of people. Joe's file is up for review this month. This is the reason we are not buying a house and settling right away when we get to Alabama in case he does get realeased from the AF. Having the title DG in his record REALLY looks good for us.

11 days and counting

We only have 11 days left here in Ohio! We are sad to go, but look forward to starting a new chapter in our lives. We have made so many wonderful friends here and have had many memorable experiences. And, or course, we were blessed with our two beautiful girls while we were out here. Speaking of which, they are a constant source of entertainment. Melody has started to make this crazy face where she scrunches everything up;and tilts her mouth up on one corner. We call it her "old man" face. She makes it when she is really mad, but also when she is happy. It is hard to get a picture of it because once she sees the camera, she stops. We were able to get one picture. It was when she was coming out of the look, but at least you will get the idea.
