Rest in peace Grandpa Woodbury...

Today was a day of sadness, and rejoicing. Grandpa Woodbury passed away. He was a man that I looked up to, respected, and strived to be like. I look forward to that time that I will see him again.

People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad. ~Marcel Proust

May the Lord watch over and bless my dear Grandma Woodbury.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

An interesting week.

This week we had a base-wide exercise. I got to be part of the group that got to put on make up and act as casualty victims. It was pretty fun - but it was also very cold.

Our typical day would start at 6 A.M. Then we would find out what scenerios we would be assigned to. But if we weren't assigned to one - then we would have to stay in the room all day anyway. So we would put movies on the big screen.

I only got to take one picture of what some of the makeup looked like - it was taken by my cell phone.

And as for how my retraining is going...

I found out this week what job I will most likely get.

On all of the forms that I have to fill out have me going into the 1N111 career field. That is the Imagry Analysis career field. Which was the one I was going for. So, the next few weeks should be very exciting - about finding out when the classes start, and waiting on a security clearance..

I'll be sure to keep you all up-to-date.

Me?? A Promotion??

Yes!! Finally - after being in the USAF for 2 and a half years - I am getting promoted.

I get to put on my Senior Airman stripe on the 15th!! Yeah!! Go Me!!

Tradition!! Tradition!

They TOLD me they weren't going to hit me that hard - they lied.

(For those of you who don't know... this is the traditional way of getting your stripes pinned on)

And... just a normal picture - after church.
