After 1 year and 8 months of marriage, we are packing up and heading out once again to find our 4th home, this time in Jacksonville, NC. Larry received his orders 7 days ago, and the movers are set to arrive tomorrow. A bittersweet move, we will certainly miss our wonderful friends in TX, but look forward to all that is to come in NC!:)<div>

For our one year anniversary in July, I created a book of our first year of marriage, filling each page with pictures of all the fun and exciting things we had done together. With the turn of the new year, I began to wonder what our second book would entail. Where else will we go, what fun places will we see, and who will we meet along the way? If you were to create your own book, what would it show?<br /><br />Although Larry and I have been given many opportunities to travel and live in different areas of the country, I find that some of our happiest moments were the simple days we spent throwing a ball with Kody on the beach or a spontaneous drive through this massive state of Texas. We've learned to embrace change and all of the unplanned adventures along the way, finding humor in the chaos and trust in the unknown.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">New Years Resolution...</span><br /><br />I'm going to be running, running, and running. This is the year that I will conquer my biggest fitness flaw and become a runner! My plan is to complete a 5k this spring, a half marathon in the fall, and possibly even a full marathon by the new year of 2012. With the help of my wonderful husband and inspiring friends, I have complete confidence that I will tackle this resolution with ease:).<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Wishing you a year of happiness, good fortune, and great karma!

Larry is on his third flight of primary while I have been busy with my classes and babysitting. I'll be taking the GRE's for grad school Nov. 1 to apply for the SLP grad program at ECU. There aren't but a handful of online accredited grad programs for this field, so keep your fingers crossed that all g oes well!!<br /><br />We were honored to host our friends Scott and Lisa Frederick's "baby shower" last weekend.

He was given the task of building a sailboat for the NAS Corpus Christi annual Titanic Cup. Keeping within the $75 budget, he and a few other flight students constructed their boat using semi-truck inner tube tires, a few hefty pieces of plywood, and a parachute for the sail. Despite their hard work and ingenious design, they fell a bit behind in the competition. Exhausted from a "hard" day at sea, the guys celebrated anyway, ecstatic that their boat at least managed to float while carrying the weight of four guys, their cooler, and a couple of lawn chairs.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/TGcENtGM60I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/kpopM65K8U8/s1600/boat"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/TGcENtGM60I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/kpopM65K8U8/s320/boat" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505373702974139202" border="0" /></a>My brother Drew and his friend Chris visited this past week.

Our furniture arrived within 3 days, which was so nice! We celebrated our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY:) the same day we moved into the house. We took a little time out to enjoy the aquarium and take in the town! We've learned that the Mexican food here is not our favorite. Actually, I haven't been a fan of any of the local restaurants. I think we'll stick to the chains from now on. Texas is definitely HOT, but we love that the days are long and the sunsets are incredible.

We'll be flying into Flagstaff, AZ to check out the Grand Canyon and all it has to offer. Larry and I will then rent a car and drive to Crested Butte, CO for Larry's cousin John's wedding. After a few days there, we'll be flying into VA where we'll spend about 4 days with my family in Danville before driving up to Alexandria and spending a couple of nights with Larry's friends and family.

As the most experienced photographer at hand, Larry was granted the opportunity to photograph General Amos' big ride in the #4 Blue Angel jet. It was a show he will never forget as he witnessed and photographed first hand one of the most riveting air shows created.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">It was only a few days later that he was asked to take a ride in the Blue Angel's C-130, Fat Albert. Even though the ride was cut short due to a malfunctioning turn indicator, Larry got to experience weightlessness after a 45 degree takeoff that took the massive aircraft from 0-3500 ft in 3 seconds. While trying to do a 60 degree bank a few hundred feet off the ground the pilots leveled the aircraft out and had to land. What started out to be 'once in a lifetime experience' Larry will luckily be given the chance to ride again in just a few weeks. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/S9Y9N8GLF-I/AAAAAAAAACA/s1Gngt1UgLA/s1600/larry"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/S9Y9N8GLF-I/AAAAAAAAACA/s1Gngt1UgLA/s320/larry" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464622507540289506" border="0" /></a><br />The 45 degree takeoff inside Fat Albert Airlines<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/S9Y1aFNkAWI/AAAAAAAAABo/dORKVBgNzUY/s1600/DSC_0013.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/S9Y1aFNkAWI/AAAAAAAAABo/dORKVBgNzUY/s320/DSC_0013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464613920052609378" border="0" /></a><br />Cockpit of Fat Albert<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/S9Y1M7h6OyI/AAAAAAAAABg/MKythRy2fPM/s1600/DSC_0001.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/S9Y1M7h6OyI/AAAAAAAAABg/MKythRy2fPM/s320/DSC_0001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464613694115298082" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/S9Y2HHraF0I/AAAAAAAAABw/SQUkfzOO8DU/s1600/DSC_0171.JPG"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/S9Y2HHraF0I/AAAAAAAAABw/SQUkfzOO8DU/s320/DSC_0171.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464614693808772930" border="0" /></a>The Adventures of Larry and Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07281617266863484992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408565829159222488.post-57642265310285350002010-04-25T20:16:00.000-07:002010-04-25T21:04:47.973-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/S9UQuyxkxHI/AAAAAAAAABY/6mp65XEOZ1I/s1600/P4250007.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464292118973695090" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/S9UQuyxkxHI/AAAAAAAAABY/6mp65XEOZ1I/s320/P4250007.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jp0IuLv-xjU/S9UQUGbbxhI/AAAAAAAAABQ/WOUHRGlzL24/s1600/P4250007.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div><em><span style="font-family:courier new;color:#000066;"><strong>To our Family and Friends:<br /><br />In our attempt to stay connected, we have decided to give you guys a little insight into our crazy fun lives here in Pensacola.
