My Wisdom teeth are gone!

I had my wisdom teeth pulled out yesterday. I can't wait until I can stop stuffing gauze in my mouth and eat regular food again. It does give me a reason to relax and catch up on blogging and other things. Cristen and Dustin get theirs pulled next Friday.

Our Trip to San Antonio

Our trip to San Antonio was great! We spent two days in Gatlinburg, TN, three and a half days relaxing days with friends in Memphis, and one day with friends in The Woodlands, TX before getting to San Antonio.



We ate at No Way Jose's our first night in Gatlinburg.
Yummy food!

Gatlinburg has a wide variety of interestng and
fun stores.
The absolute best aquarium.
Traveling in the very packed car.


Our last days with the Chandlers in Memphis. Our kids
grow so fast!

Ahhh! The Texas boarder.


We made a deal that the first Taco Cabana
we saw we would stop and eat no matter
what time it was.

A New Start - Retirement from the Air Force after 23 Years

On Friday 9 January, I had the opportunity to reflect on the blessings God has bestowed on me over the last 23 years of military service to the Air Force and Army. It was an amazing time to share with family, friends and co-workers. A couple of things I mentioned during the retirement ceremony was how I have been blessed to share the gift of music and participate in a vocation that I truly love. I was thankful for the opportunities to travel all over the United States, Europe and the Middle East. Finally I have been blessed by the relationships with friends, co-workers, and family that have greatly enriched my life. What a wonderful way to close this chapter in my life as we prepare for the journey ahead.
