Kurt and I attended a graduation this weekend...one celebrating the accomplishments of the newest F-16 pilots...and remembering the one pilot who didnt make it to this joyous day. It was nice to look back and remember that time in our lives. Seems like yesterday but now Kurt is just one of the old guys and I am one of the old wives. This was VERY apparent when a student kept calling me "maam" in a conversation!!! Funny enough, when looking back at pictures I realized that I wore the same dress to Kurt's graduation and this one. So I am either NOT old or my dress was WAY out of style!!!
We were honored to listen to a speaker who was a P-38 (same plane that Kurts great uncle flew) pilot and an ace in WWII. And we had a reason to get all dressed up. Not a big deal for some, but very exciting for me since I have a hard time getting out of my PJs on a daily basis.
And as always it was just nice to spend time with friends. We are truly blessed with an amazing military family that makes this crazy life all worth while.
Look at all those medals...another sign we are old:)

This is one of Kurts "Party Shirts". The guys have them made and where them under their dressy mess dress jackets. It is a form of quiet rebellion I guess...and at the end of the night after the formalities the guys all show off their shirts. You would think that Kurt owned a Harley from the looks of this shirt!!!
