Haven't blogged in a while. Nicole is growing everyday more and more. She is constantly talking and almost seems like she never stops. Everyday we practice our numbers and counting. She can count to ten but always has an issue with four. She likes to count the airplanes and the tractors on the way to "school" in the morning. We recently made an offer on a house and are starting to get excited to move again. Base housing is just too small for us. We should close around December 7th and I plan to move in the same day. haha We are starting to look at Christmas already and looking at what to get Nicole. I think her big thing will be a new swing set for the house, we are already looking around at those.
The base here offers spouse incentive flights on all the aircraft assigned. I have never seen something like this and took advantage of it. I asked to fly on the CV22, that is the plane that can turn its wings to fly like a helicopter and turn them back to fly like a plane. It was a great ride nice and smooth. Taking off scared me a little, we took off like a helicopter and then transitioned to a plane in the air. It was kind of neat to see. They let all of us walk out to the tail of the aircraft and look out the back. I was so scared while doing this but knew I would regret it if I didn't go back and see. Some ladies that I flew with said the 130 was fun to fly on last year, I told them I flew on one from Alaska to Afghanistan and back and didn't really need to see one up close again for a while. Cant wait to fly on something again next year.
Jake is getting into the grove of work here. He is the NCOIC of debrief for a year and then we will see what happens next. He is waiting to see when he will deploy, we expect it to be next year sometime. He sure is missing fishing. The closest fishing around here is over two hours away and he hasn't met anyone to fish with yet. I think he needs to find a new hobby for our time here.
