You and I

Don't you worry, there my honey
We might not have any money
But we've got our love to pay the bills

Maybe I think you're cute and funny,
Maybe I wanna do what bunnies do with you,
If you know what I mean

Oh, let's get rich and buy our parents homes in the South of France
Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters
and teach them how to dance
Let's get rich and build our house on a mountain
Making everybody look like ants
from way up there, you and I, you and I, you and I,

Well you might be a bit confused
and you might be a little bit bruised
but baby how we spoon like no one else
So I will help you read those books
If you will soothe my worried looks
and we will put the lonesome on the shelf

Oh let’s get rich and buy our parents homes in the South of France
Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters
and teach them how to dance
Let's get rich and build our house on a mountain
making everybody look like ants
from way up there you and I, you and I, you and I

Oh, let’s get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters
and teach them how to dance
Let's get rich and build our house on a mountain
making everybody look like ants
from way up there you and I, you and I, you and I

As my precious husband was serenading this sweet song to me yesterday, I realized it fit our lives perfectly at the moment. We have so many dreams, maybe not to buy our parent's homes in the south of France :), but dreams nonetheless.

Dayton Bound

After months of waiting and twiddling our thumbs, the Air Force finally released our Enter Active Duty (EAD) date, June 6! We didn't want to go active right after graduation because we wanted some down time to spend with friends and family, and the AF heard our wishful thinking. This means that after June 6th, I start accruing pay and vacation days and Kit and I are officially on the government's healthcare. We finally have a light at the end of our tunnel. We haven't been informed on what day we actually have to be in Dayton, OH yet, but I assume it will be shortly after June 6. I am also scheduled, for the time being, a six week training course at Maxwell AFB in Alabama starting June 9th. Usually with training like this, Kit wouldn't be able to come with me. Luckily, this specific training session he will be able accompany me! We are definitly excited about it. We both decided a long time ago that the less time we're apart, the better. The only situation that Kit wouldn't be able to come with me would be that he landed the police job he's been putting so much effort into. Either way, a win-win situation!

I thought knowing these dates would bring a sense of ease to the chaos that is our life right now, but if anything, it made things even more unpredictable. We can't move forward with plans until we have a hard copy of our orders from the AF. Once again.....thumbs are twiddling.....but at least this time we can do it with excitment!

Yard Sale!

Spring is here! And along with spring comes SPRING CLEANING!! I absolutely love spring cleaning! It's a chance to go through every drawer, shelf and closet place for items our little family hasn't seen or used in a year. Usually we make Salvation Army happy campers by dropping our load off at their place, but instead this year we decided to try our hand at a garage sale. First we placed a three day ad in the local newspaper and posted some signs. Then came the tedious task of pricing all the individual items. I found this kind of challenging because I know what I paid for these items and it was a bit hard pricing them low enough to attract a buyer's eye. We mostly wanted to get rid of all our college furniture. You know, that cheap coffee table from Wal-Mart with the screw-on legs, the computer desk made from particle board and duct tape, and all the clothes I could gather. Finally, my mom and I (Kit was out of town all weekend, lucky guy) loaded up the drive way and waited for the people to come. Our friends, The Houghs, even pitched in some highly desired baby clothes and gear! We made roughly $400 from our items! Definitely worth taking a weekend to play saleswoman. We even set some pretty cute bait to lure in the buyers :)
