By now, most, if not all, of you have heard that Mitch didn't complete Initial Flight Screening for the Air Force. This means he won't be able to be a pilot. He's filling out his reassignment paperwork now and we should have an answer in the next couple weeks... hopefully. His top choice is Intelligence, followed by Space and Missiles, Air Field Operator, Logistics Readiness, and Aircraft Maintenance. It's funny how Heavenly Father's plan works out sometimes... the only place Intelligence does their training is Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo, TX (which is just north of Austin). We'd be even closer to family. :) Another base is Hill AFB in Utah. We still have the opportunity to go overseas with any of the positions we listed, too. That was one thing we were really excited to experience, and it's reassuring that we still have that opportunity.

Mitch's brother Jared is getting married tomorrow! Yay! We're so bummed that we won't be able to make it, but our sister-to-be, Sereen, sent Mitch a tie that matches the other groomsmen as well as a sweet note. I'm so excited to meet her at Christmas-time.

So, twisted as it may seem, I'm excited to move again so soon. :) Call me a glutton for punishment (because the whole moving process is not too fun), but I'm excited to see a new place, a new home, a new circle of friends... and possibly a temple, too! By no means will I forget the friends I've made here though; I still fully intend to keep in touch. :) Del Rio has been good to me. I've also been able to sort through all the junk we accumulated during our time in Provo, haha! Papers, old mail, class assignments... you name it, we probably found it hiding in one of our boxes. I think this next move, we'll have the movers unpack us, too. They can't put anything away, but I would definitely appreciate not having to deal with the boxes. Plus, we can see everything we need to organize, throw away or put up. We might have to get a new crib, though. That stinks. I like the crib we have now, but the packers lost the screws that put the crib together and I have NO idea where/how to get replacement screws.

Mitch had the funniest thing happen to him the other day. We laughed and laughed when he told me about it. Monday is blues day... everyone in the Air Force wears short-sleeve blues. Let me just say, Mitch is hot in blues... super hot. And I have independent confirmation. :) A female Airman walked into a door checking him out. Oh yes... he walked past and she forgot to turn the door handle. My husband is sexy. ;)

We have a washer and dryer! YES!! I feel like such an adult now. Haha... funny how it's the appliances and not the baby that makes me feel older.

Derek's eczema is much much better. I think he just has flare ups when we go to really humid places like Corpus or Montgomery. It's ok though; we've found a great lotion (Aveeno Eczema Treatment) that works wonders. Speaking of Derek, he is demanding my attention right now, so I will leave off writing and possibly post some pictures this afternoon of the house, Mitch, Derek and other random things. :)
