May started off with a bang for us! We brought the month in with a 13.10 mile run for the OKC Bombing Memorial. It was wet, stormy, and cold but the weather made it all the more worth while. We crossed the finish line together hand-in-hand at 2:35:46. We felt amazing that we accomplished something so physically challenging.
Then came graduation weekend! We had the pleasure of having all of our close friends and family join us for a wonderful luncheon at our home, followed by the graduation ceremony. Together we walked the walk and received our diplomas. Later that night, we welcomed the next chapter of our lives with our commissioning ceremony. My brother-in-law, 1Lt. Josh McVay, gave the oath, my parents pinned my rank on and my amazing husband gave my first salute. The whole program couldn't have gone better.
Now for the present....well we had a huge change of plans last week. The AF changed my job from a Biologist! We're saying goodbye to Ohio and hello to Texas.We will spend 6-12 months at San Angelo TX. In the final stages of my job training we will learn where our first assignment base will be. We still don't know our EAD date, could be anywhere from now to May 6, 2012, so right now we wait. We are very excited for the opportunity to have one last irresponsible summer before we plunge head first into adulthood. Our lease ends in Stillwater May 31, so from there we head to his parent's beautiful lake home in Sulphur to await our next move. Thankfully we both have wonderful sets of parents who support us unconditionally and understand our unique situation. Until then, we'll enjoy our life in limbo!
