Texas

Ahhh, Texas. I will not miss you at all. That is the craziest place! The roads are totally backwards, they all go in circles so the only good part is that you can't really get lost because if you stay on the highway long enough eventually you will circle back to where you started. It was a good trip though overall and it was really great to finally be able to see Beth again. I missed my sis!

This was the morning of the graduation parade. The sun doesn't rise until like 0730 in Texas, it was weird. But Friday morning was freezing cold and super windy and we had been at the parade grounds since 0700 so that we could find a place to sit. All of us huddled on the bleachers and prayed for the sun to hurry and come out to warm us up. The little people in the picture are all of the female T.I.'s that marched the flights. March is apparently Women's month in the Air Force so the day of Beth's graduation was the day that the AF let the female TI's march the flights instead of the TI's that they had had for the past 9 weeks.

I took a ton of pictures but there's one of her sayin the oath. The other one is a picture of her after she got done in the ID office. She was very excited to have her ID, it was very stressful for her to get it.

We didn't do a whole lot while we were there. Hung out with Beth a lot. We drove by the Alamo but didn't stop, no one wanted to go see half of a brick wall. We did go down to the Riverwalk one night and it was packed, so busy! The AF let the grads have a few extra hours off base one night if they bought discounted tickets to the Spurs game so we saw our first NBA game. All in all, it was just really great to be able to see Beth again. She's in California now for school and was told that they'll maybe be able to come home sometime in October or November maybe, but for sure she'll be able to come home for Christmas! And she has her cell again so we get to talk to her a lot now.

How are your worlds? Love ya!
