Behind

Contrary to what our site would lead you to believe Brittany has completed student teaching and we are busy moving on with our lives. This, apparently,did not include updating our blog... But now that Spring is making appearance two of the five or so I'm sure it will make here in Anchorage, it is time to get everyone up to date.
The good news is that Brittany recently got hired to fly C-130s at the Guard unit in Anchorage. While it will be sad for our family to say goodbye to the Tanker after our many years of service with her, it's time for us all to work in the same town! Though I guess Jeremy's goodbye is only partial since he still sees the Tanker from behind whenever he has to practice his air refueling. The hardest part will be seeing less of our friends in the more frozen North. The move will also mean several more months apart and some quality time in Little Rock, AR, but we'll take that hurdle when we get there.
Otherwise Brittany still spends most of the day working on school work and entertaining
Annie... or perhaps interrupting Annie's all day naps. Occasional visits back to see the first graders make Brittany feel more popular than she's ever been. The rest of the time is spent keeping up with family and friends and figuring out how to apply home improvement show learning to our house.
Jeremy is still flying pretty often. He completed his Aircraft Commander upgrade school at Altus in December and has had a lot of flying to do to get ready to meet his certification board next month. He also ushered in another new year in February. Since he was on the road, his favorite thing to do for his Birthday, we celebrated with Brittany's parents before he left and Jeremy's when he got back. He sure knows how to milk a Birthday!
On days off Jeremy spends most of his time trying to figure out how to apply Brittany's home improvement show learning. Since the current projects of finishing the kitchen and siding won't be nearly enough to keep him busy, we are getting ready to embark on the bathroom as well.
The neighbors are getting pretty used to us trekking between our house and Brittany's parents' house with dogs, snowblowers, lawnmowers, golf carts, and various tools, so they shouldn't bat an eye when we shuffle by in our bathrobes with our shower-baskets while our shower is out of commission.
We hope this Spring finds everyone well and will continue to work on improving our blogging habits!
