Wow, these titles sounds as cheesy as a first grade teacher...oh wait...that is who is writing them!
We finally got the bedrooms almost finished. Everything is hung and we only spent $34 dollars. $30 was the room darkening shade for Natalie and $4 was for 2 rolls of ribbion I needed to finish my slip cover for the filing cabinet. I had an old white sheet at home, so I used that for the base and criss-crossed blue and green ribbon on it. It's now the TV stand in the guest room! All I need is the bedskirt my mom has for me, then it's all done!
Ryan just got news that he has to pick a new Air Force Career. We are excited, nervous, and annoyed all at the same time! A lot of jobs in the Air Force have very few NCO's (non-commissioned officers like Ryan) because people serve 4 years and get out, so they always just have the lower ranking people. Thirty people in Ryan's field have to transfer to those other jobs, and if they do not get 30 volunteers, they are going down a list. Ryan is #7 on the list, and that is for the ENTIRE Air Force. Needless to say it's likely he will be forced to re-train, so he wants to do it on his own so he can pick what he wants. First, he has to apply to be allowed to apply for the job (sound stupid? welcome to the military). Right now he has applied for Physical Medcine and Health Services Management. He is excited to try something new, but scared he will not like it. He's also upset that he spent almost 5 years learning this job and now they are kicking him out. But a new job might be something he has always wanted to do, and can do on the 'outside'. I am mad because we only get one Base of Preference and we had picked to stay here for the next four years. I do not know if we will have to move with this job, but it's a possibility if he gets it and there are not openings here for him. To top it all off, he is going to Panama City for 3 weeks in September and will miss my birthday. BOO HOO to me. On a plus, as much as I complain about my health care, I got a 1400 bill for my injection and I pay ZERO. Yay.
If you made it this far here are some cute Natalie stories.
* Daddy watched her last night while I went to Bunco. She threw three handfuls of spaghetti on the floor. Ryan scolded her and she started to tear up. But then she sneezed, said "Bless You Daddy", and he forgot all about it.
*Everytime she sees a birthday cake she says "Happy...To You". At 17 months to know the birthday song means we've gone to one too many parties!
*I recently got a used video baby monitor for Natalie. It hangs on the wall then I can see and hear her on the handheld part. She thinks it's a webcam I guess from talking to the grandparents. She will wave at it and say "Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi".

Too cute. Well I hope all goes accordingly to the likings of you and Ryan with his new "forced" job. Good Luck!
I can't believe that he has to go through all of that??! You would think that they would want to treat them better in order to keep them enlisted...
Those jobs he pick sound like good ones. Life is always scary when new things have to be done. If you do have to move though lets hope its close to here. :) Though if its not we get somewhere knew to visit. :)
At least if he goes medical, when you talk about "cervical spine" and "scoliosis" he just might know what you are talking about! LOL! I do NOT envy you guys but I do hope you get to stay here!!
I guess that's why they call it the Air FORCE. Ahahahaha lol okay, not that funny. Everything will work out. Miss N sounds like she's a ball! :D
cute Natalie stories... i hope the job search goes well for Ryan
Hey, are you in the "Mom's Club" for your area? Or is it something else? I'm signing up for the one in our area and I was curious if it's the same group you are in.
