The New Californians


Hello family!
Haven't been on here in FOREVER! I just wanted to give you an update since um... the beginning of summer.
Well as most of you know, Daniel and I got orders to Travis AFB, CA in March. It is about an hour northeast of San Fran and about 40 minutes southwest of Sacramento. So in June I quit my job a week early than expected because we decided to go on a last minute trip to Germany to visit our good friends from McChord who are now stationed there. It was an amazing trip including many places in Germany and a road trip to PARIS! We were actually there until the Eiffel Tower for our third wedding anniversary. :o) It was bliss!
After we got back from Europe, we started our journey down to California about two or three weeks later. It was really hard to leave Washington for both of us since most of our families and friends are there but we needed to spread our wings and fly. :o) We made it down here in one piece (one very exhausted family) and within ten days I had a job (same thing I was doing at McChord.. HR Assistant) and Daniel found out he made the next rank. Staff Sergeant in the Air Force. So he had to go to a five week class for this rank. He now is back to his normal flying loadmastering job flying about 10 days out of the month. He was gone for Thanksgiving which was hard being all by myself but just kept myself busy making a pumpkin pie for him when he gets home in a few days! :o) I appreciate talking to all of you who were at Aunt Cheri's and Uncle Ric's on Thanksgiving. That was fun! Anyway, we are really enjoy ourselves here in California and hope all of you are doing well. :o) Happy Holidays!
