In Case You Haven't Heard...

...Today was a VERY exciting day for us!!! We found out where our next Permanent Change of Station (PCS) will be!! We will be moving to Ramstein Air Base in Germany!!!

We still have a little time before we'll be heading over "the pond", but at least now we know where we'll FINALLY be settling for 3-4 years!! We won't know any dates for at least a few more weeks. We DO know, however, that we'll be leaving here and heading to Little Rock, AR for more training. Bryan will be flying the C-130J at Ramstein, so he'll need additional training in Little Rock to learn how to fly the J model. We'll be in Little Rock for about 6 or 7 months. The Air Force will move us with all of our belongings to Little Rock for this time. Then, they'll pack us up (again) in Little Rock to move us to Ramstein!!

We are VERY excited as this was our first choice for our next assignment!!!

Pilot training is almost complete!! Bryan is finished with all of his classroom stuff and flights. Now, we just have to wait for his winging ceremony which will be on November 10!!! We are so glad that we're almost done!! There's a light at the end of the tunnel!!

In other (equally exciting) news... Amelia will be ONE on Saturday!! Can you believe it?!?! This last year has been SO CRAZY!! I can't believe she's already a year old!! We'll be heading to San Antonio this weekend for a much needed family get-away, so we'll be opening gifts and doing a small celebration tomorrow before we leave. Saturday we plan to take the girls to a children's museum and Sea World in San Antonio. Sunday we are heading to the air show at Randolph Air Force Base, then we'll head back here. We will have her actual birthday party during the weekend of Bryan's winging ceremony. I am so excited to celebrate this with her!! We've wrapped her gifts and are all ready to watch her open them tomorrow. We're also going to get "fancy" cupcakes for tomorrow!!! I. Can't. Wait!!!

Well, that's what's going on with us!!! We hope your week is coming to a nice close!! We'll check in again soon!!

Love you guys!! :-)

What a happy / sad / exciting / scary time for all of you. I am thrilled and proud that Bryan did so well in his classes that you all were able to get your first choice assignment. I'm sure those girlies will be speaking German like a native in no time!!! Can't wait to come and see that part of the world. I love you all and am very proud of all of your accomplishments! "Oh, the Places You'll Go!!!"
