Life in April

Life in April has been VERY

eventful!  We started out the month

with a trip to Greeley to visit

the Underwoods.  We got to see

Brian and the rest of the Greeley

Chorale perform while we were in

town.  Grandpa Dennis and Betty

came into town as well.  We also

celebrated Kyle's Birthday!  It

was a great time spent with family!

The night we got home from Greeley,

Eric was able to check his work e-mail

to see if he received any news.

He had an e-mail waiting for him - And so

the whirlwind began.  Eric will be

separating from the Air Force so that

he can attend Law School at

The University of Tulsa this fall.

One of these days, I'll share the story

of how this all came about - but for now,

I'll just say that God has been carefully

directing our steps - in His perfect timing.

God is good and prayer works.

 

My parents sent us TU shirts

 

Now, our house is on the market,

Eric's Seat has been saved at

the University of Tulsa, I have a job

in Broken Arrow, and we are house

hunting in Oklahoma!  We are also

soaking up every bit of time we can

with our Utah friends.

 

Some of our friends from the very beginning!

One of my best friends, Kristin

I got to meet Chelsie's new baby, Willow

 

We had a lovely Easter, even though

it was our first one without family around.

We went to the early service and then

quickly changed into our ski gear.

Easter Sunday was closing day for

Snowbasin Ski Resort.  We had a great

time skiing in the "mashed potato" snow. 

Easter!

Baby Jackson will be here in July!!

 

We are excited about the new

adventure ahead of us.

We appreciate your prayers

as we transition into civilian life

and embark on this journey.

Homecoming

He's home!

The day we had been waiting 

for finally came!

Some wonderful friends came to

the airport to help me welcome him home.

(Thank you Kristin for taking pictures of

this special moment)

Coming down the escalator...

Thank you family and friends

for your prayers, love and support.

We are so glad to have this 

deployment behind us!

A North Carolina Wedding

At the end of December,

we flew to North Carolina

for a good friend's (Bob) wedding.

Bob was in our wedding.

Bob and Eric were stationed at Malmstrom

AFB together in Montana.

Bob and Cacki were married in a Catholic church.

The reception was held at the Carolina Inn.

The Carolina Inn is a historic hotel on

the University of North Carolina campus in Chapel Hill.

We got to stay at the hotel as well and it was fabulous.

Doesn't he look so handsome?!

Eric was part of the Saber Arch for the wedding

I had to be in several pictures with my husband - he looked so handsome!

Our trip to North Carolina was

a bit of a whirlwind with all of the

wedding activities, but we had such 

a great time!

OSC International Social

Every year, the Officers' Spouses' Club

(hereafter referred to as the OSC)

hosts a dinner for Hill Air Force Base's 

International Military Members.

This is a fun event because each

OSC Board Member gets to make

two dishes representing their

home state.  The Internationals'

loved trying new foods.

This event was held at the Golf Course Club House on base

I made sugar cookies - pumpkin shaped sugar cookies. Yum

My contribution: Indian Tacos complete with fry bread and all the fixins

All of the International Families

The participating OSC Board Members

The event was a success.

I'm looking forward to our

next OSC Social.

It will take place next month.

I'll get to bust out my cowboy boots

and pearl snap button up!
