Last Day of the AirForce
Well today is Matt's last day of being active duty military. I know he is pretty pumped not to be government property anymore but it is bittersweet for me. Even though I'm happy with the decision I have to say I will somewhat miss the military life. I always felt comforted to know that if something bad happened the military would help us out. They might give you twenty different unpractical or insane solutions but eventually they came up with a solution that was somewhat reasonable. I will definitely miss the people, it was comforting to know that even when you are away from your loved ones you still had a family. However, I will not miss the deployments, the phone calls at 3 in the morning telling Matt he needed to come in, or being so far away from Utah.
On a seperate note, I have been home now for almost three months and Matt has been here about a month. We had a good trip back to Utah even though we had a hard time motivating ourselves to drive that long distance again. Luckily we took the southern route back so at least it was a change in scenery. It is definitely nice having him here with me now. I also want to congratulate Matt on receiving his Associates Degree. I know it was a long road and I'm very proud of him for completing it. Other than that we don't have too much new going on, Roxie is adjusting very well and loving my parents' backyard. She even likes snow which was extremely surprising. Well I hope everyone is doing well and hopefully we can see you all soon!

Congrats! I'm excited for you guys too! It was great to run into you the other day. We need to get together soon.
We love having you guys back. We are proud of Matt too- and you as well. Thanks for setting a great educational example for our youngsters. :)
Well, it was a good run in the AF huh? Congrats to Matt on his degree! I'm happy that you guys are back in Utah--I know how much y'all love it there. Keep in touch. Remember the standing invitation to chill out with us in Germany if you're ever on this side of the ocean. :)
