Ghostrider

HIP HIP HOORAY!!! Shane finally did it!!! He is officially done with Training!!! Last night as most of you know from my text message, Shane went on his check flight last night. It's pretty much a normal flight but someone follows him around checking him off on all the different things necessary. After being in the air for about 6 or more hours they were done!! The guy looked at him and said good job.
The guy checking him *the big dog* looked at him, the 4th (the squadron hes going to) is looking forward to having him and that Shane will be a great asset to the squadron. Saying that made Shane just like light up inside. He said thats one of the best
things he could have said to Shane. Needless to say Shane was extremely excited!
So to prove to others hes out of the 19th (the training squadron) he gets a new patch on his flight suit.

There is it! haha On his shoulder that is the ghostrider 4th SOS patch!! here is a closer look at it =D He is so proud of that little thing. he says the best thing about it is, When his commander told him he had passed and was a part of the 4th now he took his own patch of his shoulder and slapped it on Shane's shoulder. Shane said it was a pretty cool gesture.
We are still trying to figure out why the ghost is so fat. Shane says that just shows off the Air force. hahaha

We are SOOO excited that he's finally out of training!! Its normally about 2 months after the check until they get deployed. So we are expecting that. but lucky me his deployments are only 2-3 months so HOPEFULLY he will be home in time for Matt and Kayties wedding, but it'll be pushing it!
As for other news. I start school tomorrow! I am very excited to get out of the house! and to start back on track to Nursing! we are still working on the financial aid stuff. But we are doing just fine!
As for my job interview.. *sorry I left you hanging* It was quite the disappointment! I got there and the manager asked me if I had ever bar tended. I said "no I'm too young". he then went on to say he didn't know what he needed and would call me in the future. I thought it was pretty strange how he handled the interview and that he even needed an interview to tell me what he did. So I am still on the search for a job! This is the worst time to look for a job because everyone is full from hiring on summer help. So we'll see where i end up!
No other news so far. Tropical Storm Fay looks like it won't end up over us. but its very unpredictable. They are guessing that it will die off by Friday/Saturday because it'll have been over land too long. So we are praying thats what happens. As for the weather here.. it's beautiful! the storms has swept away our clouds and its bright and sunny and beautiful! But we will for sure keep you updated on the storm!

Woohoo congrats Shane!! We are so proud of you and all you've accomplished. In spite of broken down planes! We do hope that Fay leaves you alone this weekend. Keep that 'new baby' dry!

Love you both!
