Gig'em Ags!


So, the first Fightin' Texas Aggie Football game is this weekend. I posted this picture b/c I am a little nostalgic for those times. Going to the football games and watching the march-ins were some really fun times! Watching Kyle do the march-ins for his 4 years was so special, especially his senior year, and last year seeing my little brothers do it too; theres really nothing like it.
This year is the first time in 6 years (yep, 6) that we won't be able to really partake in the action. I hope we can go back for at least one game, but Kyle's squadron has a ridiculous policy that they can't travel more than 175 miles away from Laughlin without taking leave. It doesn't sound that bad, but all of the other flying squadrons have a rule of about 300 miles, and allow certain places like College Station. Its frustrating b/c we are probably not going to be this close to College Station and Houston for a while and I want to take adavantage of every opportunity we have. I kind of made myself a promise that I would see my brothers march at least once, but hopefully more, for each of their 4 years in the Corps, which is going to be more difficult as we are probably going to be moving somewhere up north after this thing called UPT is over. Who knows, Kyle could end up an instructor here and I can make good on that promise of more than once a year.
So, other people will have to cheer on my Ags while we are stuck here in Del Rio; GIG'EM!

Going to try this thing...

Ok, so I have decided to give this blog thing a try. It seems pretty useful, especially for those I don't get to talk to as much as I would like to. I think its funny that when I created this account was on Kyle and my one year anniversary, when I was at home alone, sick and bored out of my mind b/c Kyle was cross country all weekend. Haha, oh well.

Anyway, Kyle is about to actually start flying the T-1A Jayhawk (he's been in the program doing academics, or 'slackademics', for about 4 weeks now) the beginning of next week. He's excited, I think he's been going through withdrawls since he was T-6 complete. I can't believe he is already half way through UPT, and I know this next half is going to go by even faster. I have really enjoyed my time here in Del Rio although I do miss some of the comforts of a big city (and right now I am considering College Station a big city). I truly love all my friends here so much; some of them are already starting to leave and I don't like that. I actually don't really like change very much. Its quite ironic that I ended up a military wife considering life is constantly changing. But my husband is WAY more important than my resistance to change, I just make things way harder than they need to be.

Ok, I am done with this post. Not bad for my first one in my opinion. I hope this helps keep people a little more updated than they have been. :)
