Germany at last!!

Well, Anna and I have finally made it to Germany! I know this isn’t really a trip (unless one can take a multi-year year trip), but I thought it was the appropriate category. We’re still in the process of settling in, but we did get out and take a Sunday afternoon drive around the area. [...]

SOS part 2

Two times during SOS we did what is called Project X. The first time, our flight was … a little less than successful. However, in the second one, we were better prepared and consequently, more successful. You’re probably wondering what is Project X? Well, I can’t speak for why the name was chosen, but basically, [...]

SOS part 1

The last five weeks, as usual, have flown by. However, the difference was I spent these attending a class called Squadron Officer School (SOS) at Maxwell Air Force Base.

Wichita Falls, Texas

This weekend, Anna and I went home. Well, at least to where our home used to be. We went back to Wichita Falls, Texas and visited our friends there. Oh, if you’re curious why I added Texas to the title of this post because people invariably confuse Wichita Falls with Wichita, Kansas. Aaron and Coree [...]

Atlanta

This past weekend we took another excursion from our temporary home in Montgomery, Alabama. This one was nice because it meant I go to see Anna and my mother again. I know it was only three weeks of separation, but it felt like forever! I arrived on Friday night, but we started Saturday off in [...]

Nashville

Last weekend, my good friend Tom and I decided to take a little trip. The proposal was to go anywhere in driving distance from Montgomery. When he suggested Nashville, Tennessee, we decided that was a perfect destination. Of course, it’s the epicenter of country music, so our first stop was a show at the Grand [...]
