Reality Check

Chris got his job for the air force!
*drum roll please*
Mechanical - Developmental engineering! - WHEW.

I tried not letting him know how anxious I was for his job...if he got Civil engineering he'd deploy for a year at a time every 6 months for 4 years. Ouch. But with Developmental he'll be safe in the US doing research in labs and only go on shorter trips (most likely...hopefully.)
And most importantly, he's really excited about it so that makes me really excited about it!

So now to choose base assignments! This is the fun part. I made a spread sheet of pros and cons of each and we're trying to figure out if he wants to do GPS research, space and rocketry, flight test engineering, or bombs (I'm not quite sure what "bombs" entails but I don't know if I like it.)

Some options include:

1. Southern Cali outside Santa Barbara (I'm pulling for this one)
2. 2 bases in Colorado - would be equally awesome
3. Florida by Cape Canaveral - learn to surf, get a tan, etc
4. Outside of Salt Lake City, Utah - living with the Mormons! Oh, and XTerra National Champions were here!
5. Oklahoma - Well, Chris can come visit me at grad school
6. New Mexico - ....people live there?
7. Hanscom right outside Boston, MA - please God no!
8. Los Angeles AFB - would be cool for all of 2 minutes

So we'll see....I'm trying not to let his options influence my grad school choices but if we both happen to end up in Colorado....

Well, how convenient =)

Love love love,
me

Snowbasin 2/9/2013

FINALLY found a badass chica to hit the slopes with! YEAH! Yesterday the visibility was about 0 but it was a solid day at Snowbasin. I took my GoPro along with me and then edited it into a video that looks semi-interesting. That's Kate on the snowboard, the camera is attached to my head so you get a solid look at the fog and me falling a few times. Skiing/Snowboarding Movie

Weekend

As promised, here's a blog about my weekend - I know you've been sitting on the edge of your rolly computer chair waiting for it with bated breath. Friday after my guitar class, which went not-so-fabulously, as per usual, Chris and I had a little adventure to Harpoon Brewery where we met up with my ever beloved (and apparently much talked about) bff Dave. It took us a little adventuring and a little guessing to get there but we made it there and home with lots of "I have a hunch this is the way to go"-ing. It convinced me fully that we'd be great on a European back-packing trip together. We don't fight, we don't argue, we don't get frustrated, we just laugh and follow our gut. Which led us to beer! Isn't that what Germany is all about?  Anyway, Harpoon was awesome. You just go, hear about beer, and drink all you want. I picked up a growler of the cider - highly recommended. We literally guessed what bus to get on to get home and turns out it led...
