Our first blog experience!

Well neither of us have ever blogged before and neither of us are HUGE computer people but was are trying a BLOG! =]
They seem to be the best way for people to stay in touch with everyone!

So...
Hi everyone!!
Life is pretty wonderful out here in Florida! So far there has been a LOT of rain and humidity.. Welcome to Florida I suppose!
I've heard that Florida is the sunshine state but also the lightning capital of the world..... how do the two mix? I'm still trying to figure that one out!
Our new apartment is pretty much all set up due to the mass amount of target gift cards we got from the wedding!
We love it here our home really truly feels like home =]

Its very nicely placed too! it's about 5 mins from the beautiful white sand beach, about 7 mins from Shane base (Hurlburt) and about 15 mins away from the college I'll be attending this fall (Okaloosa Walton College).
Shane is almost done with his training. he was held up about
two months due to being sick. first there was an ear infection, than major sinus infection, and just recently there was a scare with his right eye. He went into the eye doctor for a normal test and according to the dr. he didn't pass (20/20) In Shanes job on a plane you have to have 20/20 corrected or not. well this doctor couldn't get his right eye corrected due to a bulge she found on his cornea. which she said could possibly be an issue called keratoconus. Thats when the cornea becomes thinner and thinner making the cornea into a cone shape, destorting the vision. So he was put on dniff(not able to fly) and was sent to an eye specialist. It was a nerve racking trip but ends up he still has 20/20 without glasses and does have a small bulge on on it but the doctor said it could just simply be the shape of his eye. he said it is possible he has the begining of keratoconus but medically he can't say that yet.
So we are thrilled Shane can jump back in
to his training with no worries.
He's due back at the eye Dr. in six months to check up on his eye and see if its gotten worse. So please keep him in your prayers!!
So thats how life has been =] To sum this up here are some
pictures of our new place!!
