Brock and Lizzy Come to Visit!!

Brock and Lizzy flew down for vacation for a week to relax and see what Florida was all about! The four of us had an awesome week together!! We went to the beach while they were here and Lizzy informed me that it was only her second trip to the beach! It turned out to be a beautiful day and the water was crystal clear! Jordon showed Brock how to skim board, which was extremely funny and quite entertaining as us girls layed on the beach! We had a blast! Then Brock decides that he wants to see what it would be like to become a midget so he burried himself in the sand and put his shoes where his knees were and it actually did look like he was a midget! It was soo funny! He's a trip! Then later that night we all went to Margaritaville and had dinner and then went put-putting! Lizzy and I both beat the guys so needless to say we were pretty happy the whole way home! Haha While they were here we went to Destin for the day and went to the Jerky outlet and shopped around for a bit. That night Mike, Mary Lou, and Fritz all drove down for the fishing trip the next day. That night we all went down to Pier Park and ate dinner at Hofbrau Beer Garden and then went out to the beach to see the sunset. The guys all decided they were gonna jump in and body surf the waves! They had a blast! The next morning we head down to the boat to go on our deep sea fishing trip, we were all super excited! As soon as we got on the boat the Captain tells us that the water is gonna be "a bit choppy today", but none of us think anything about it and just brush it off. Well, we were trollying out of the bay and into the gulf and the waves just started getting bigger and bigger so the boat started rocking pretty bad and then it hit all of us girls! We were all so sea sick that we could barely even watch the guys fish! The waves were 8 foot swells and even though we were on a 58 ft boat, we could still feel the waves! The trip was really good for the guys, they caught their limit on the red snapper pretty quick and they had a lot of fun doing it!! We had a lot of fun with all of our company! We hope to be able to see everyone again soon!

Nursing Graduation and Family Fishing Trip!

As you all probably know I have literally been working my butt of in nursing school and on June 10, 2010 it all finally became real! I graduated the nursing program and can now be called a "nurse" !! Finally, I have been waiting for this for it seems like soo long! All I could think was "if this is what it feels like to have your dreams become reality and come true then I am not stopping here!" And I didn't, I have still been in school double time over the summer taking 16 hours which I know is crazy but hey I guess I can say I get what I want and it feels amazing to get something that you have worked so hard for !! I am almost done with my summer classes and then I have two weeks off to relax and then right back at it for the fall! I'm super excited!! My parents, brother, and grandparents flew in from Oklahoma City and Jordon's family also drove down for my graduation! It meant a lot to have to many people supporting me at my graduation! The next day I come home to a suprise party that my wonderful husband had put together with my best friend Brittni! I was very suprised; there were streamers hanging all over the house and food and wine and beer for everyone!! A girl couldn't ask for more! We all hung out and visited and then later that night Brittni headed home and me and Jord, Chase, my parents, and grandparents all loaded up some clothes, skim boards, beach chairs, and golf clubs and headed to Destin for the weekend!!! I have to say this was the best part of their visit! It was like a vacation within a vacation! We got to the hotel and then found out that they had what they call "the managers special" which is from 5-7 EVERYNIGHT you can get all you can eat snacks AND all you can drink alcohol! Needless to say we all enjoyed it! Every night we all played "chicken foot" which is a domino game that me and my family have been playing on family vacations since I was a little girl! The rest of the weekend we relaxed at the beach, the guys went golfing, and of course us girls hit the shops!!! Once the weekend was over we all headed back to our house and got things ready for the fishing trip the next day! We all went on a 6hr deep sea fishing trip and had a BLAST!! We caught 200 lbs of fish and had a blast doing it! We caught amberjack, red snapper, and spanish mackerel. We all had a great time together! The best graduation weekend I could ever imagine!!

Week trip to Oklahoma for Mother's Day!

Jordon and I flew to Oklahoma City for Mother's day! We had such an awesome time! We always have so much fun when we go there; everything is always so relaxing and we always get to see all of the family! That day we got to the house and helped mom and dad finish up their yard work which was suprisingly a lot of fun. It was funny watching Chase and Jordon in the tractor and the wagon. Haha Chase also thought he was a big shot because they were using his truck to pull the trees up!! Then Jordon thought he could out do me on the dirt bike!! Haha BOYS!! The day after we got there we drove down to Blanchard to suprise my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins! It was a lot of fun and everybody was super suprised! Of course then all the guys get together and go do their own thing and us girls hit the shops!! It was a blast! The next day mom, dad, Chase, Jordon, and I decide that we want to go try out these go karts that we had heard go about 50 mph.. we had to suite up in sock caps, helmets, and go through a training course! Once we got in the karts we were ready to race; however we were not prepared to go quite as fast as we did!!! Haha It was soo much fun! The track was in doors which seemed weird but it was extremely fun! On Mother's Day all of the family came up to my parents house and we cooked out and visited! It was a very special day because both of my great grandmothers were able to make it, so we all visited and had a great time!

Jordon's TDY to VEGAS!!!

On February 22, 2010 we went into work to get ready to load up on a KC-10 with all of our cargo and all of us. I was one of the few to get picked to help with loading all of our cargo into the KC-10 and that was pretty cool. Once we were all loaded up we headed out to Nellis AFB. While we were flying out there, the jets that were flying right on the wings of the KC-10!! It was impressive, there was 2 on one side and 2 on the other. It was a 4 hour flight out there but once we got there it was nothing but mountains and nice crisp air. I loved it!!! After we got there it wasnt play time, we had everything to unload and went right to work on the jets that flew out there with us. For the rest of the week it was bust'n ass time and thats exactly what we did! We had first flights going up around 5 am and then when they landed we only had an hour to get them ready and turn them right around and go back up. It was like that the whole first week and we worked our ass off! Then friday came around and it was my time to get a ride in the F-15 Eagle!!!! HOLY SHIT I WAS EXCITED!!

Friday morning i went and got dressed and met up with my pilot. We went out to the jet and got started up and headed down to the end of the runway to get ready for our takeoff! By this time my adrenaline is maxed out and im pumped!!!! We got cleared to takeoff so we lit the burners and let off the brakes and started haul'n ass down the runway. We got down to the end and were only about 100 ft off the deck and parallel to the ground and then he pulled straight back and we went completely vertical and went from 100-16,000 ft in about 4 seconds!!!! It was the coolest thing i have ever experienced! Then we went and flew over Area 51 and then headed on to Death Valley. While we were flying we pulled 7.5 G's and then pulled another 8.0 G's!!! THAT SHIT WAS INTENSE!!!!!! Then the pilot let me fly and said to give her hell so i did some barrel rolls and a "S" turn and then some G force turns and i got up to pulling 5.5 G's. This whole experience was the experience of a lifetime and i dont think i will ever be happy after riding a roller coaster again because nothing could ever amount to this ride!! All of us guys would go downtown some nights to see the strip to see everything down there. I thought it was pretty cool and amazing how some of the places were built, but definately an expensive city to be in or even live in. It is nothing but a huge money bank. All in all we all had a great time and it was definately my trip of a lifetime and would love to do it all again!

Jordon's Suprise 22nd Birthday!

For Jordon's birthday I sent out a mass text to all of his friends he works with and told them to come over and suprise Jord for his birthday! Jordon went over to Jarrod and Shandel's that day to hang out because me and Brittni told him we were going to have a "girls day" and go shopping, so of course he didn't want to go! haha Then we went to walmart and target and got lots of food for us to cook for all the guests and then his friends all headed over about 7 o'clock and we all hid in the garage when Jarrod and Shandel brought him home.. he walked into the garage looking for everyone and we all yelled "SUPRISE"!!! We all had a lot of fun and ate lots of food! He was really suprised and had no idea! Haha It was a good night!
