Mike is officially in the air Force! Yesterday (Monday) Mike was commissioned in the 332D Recruiting Squadron as a 2nd Ltn. It was a fun and exciting event and there was a lot more to it than we originally thought. We had to pin him and then he received a coin (to do challenges with) and a nice writing pin as a personal gift from Sgt Dickey (the recruiter). We are very excited as God takes us into this new stage of life, but definately sad to be finishing our time with RUF.

Sorry there are no pics, I am out of time and they are not uploading for some reason, but I will play more with it tom.

We had a dear older couple in our church (Joe and Shirley) do the the ceremony. They have been such a blessing to us since we got to know them in January through a program in our church called dinners for 8. They have been so kind to us and really taken an interest in our lives. Joe was in the Air Force for his entire career and was excited to commission Mike. He did Air Force ROTC at UK after he retired. If it had not been for them, the day would not have been as special as it was. It felt like we had family here as they acted so proud of us and told us how special we were. Shirley baked a cake to celebrate and took pictures of everything (which I am so thankful for). She also showed me her special Air Force wives pin. Joe also kept us laughing and reminds me so much of Papa in his joking, loving demeanor.

I realize it has been forever since we have blogged, but without a good working camera we have not had to much to put up. Hopefully we will get one soon. I will try to put up more pics or update you on life a little more often. Please be praying for us as we transition out of RUF and for me a job and for Mike and hopefully going to training.
