Congratulations To My Amazing Husband!

For those of you who haven't heard, we recently found out that the Air Force has accepted Sean to go to anesthesia school! They will give him a full scholarship for his continued education (master's degree), as well as continue to pay his regular working salary while he is in school for the two years it takes to complete the degree.

The only thing left for us to find out is which anesthesia school he will be attending starting in the summer: The Army based school at San Antonio's Fort Sam Houston, or the Air Force based school at Bethesda, Maryland's Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences. Sean has put Maryland as his preference, so we hope he gets it! If he does, we will be moving there sometime in May. We hope to know more about this in the next few months.

This is something Sean has been actively and strenuously working toward for the past year-and-a-half. Becoming a Nurse Anesthesist has been his goal since he started his college nursing education, and it's so exciting to see this goal so close to being accomplished! I am so proud of him for his hard work and determination! My husband is amazing!!!

The Cutest Ever

I was mulling through the archive of pictures I have stored in iPhoto on my Powerbook and I came accross this pic of Dani and the Coop waking up on a sunny morning. As I landed on this picture I got a good chuckle out of what I saw. I smiled all the way in to work.

By the way some of you may need to scoll down to see picture captions.

For The Birds...

I really don't consider myself a bird person (not that this is a bad thing). I wouldn't even consider myself a naturist. I have found, maybe through age/maturity, that I have an increasing appreciation for creation. One thing that I have found that I enjoy, is becoming familiar with common local wildlife and vegitation. I guess it's a fundamental part of the character that each part of the world possesses. There are some commonalities from place to place. Of course, there are also some very obvious differences.

Shots From A Day Off

Here is some of what I see and do on my days off. I have so little time to myself that sometimes I have to make myself stop and open my photographer's eye and see the art around.

"...It was evening, it was morning."

The Night Reveals Beauty

I was walking around the base on my last night off and I couldn't help but notice a pair of trees as they stood like giant sentinels bathed in the lights of the base. Certain parts of the base maintain a high level of activity at night that requires illumination with bright stadium-type lights. The effect, is a sort of mysterious glowing skyline. It's actually quite pleasant to look at.

Take a look!
