Life Happenings: General Life Happenings

Life Happenings: General Life Happenings

Busy Busy

In the last few weeks since we got Boeing, things have been pretty crazy. Things with Boeing have been awesome, he has turned out to be a pretty great puppy. He is pretty well housebroken at this point, with the exception of the last two days when he has been having trouble. He is crate trained and loves his crate. He has cutest quirks. Like he loves to play with his food, he will take one piece out of the bowl and chase it around the floor, pushing it with his nose or paws, and then he will cover it with a paw and look for it and push his paw around with his nose and then have an "ah-hah" moment when he lifts his paw up and eats it. We have also learned he loves to play with water bottles and that the broom scares him. He sleeps like a champ now though, he will sleep through the night and not have to go out until we get up to let him out, its awesome! He did however find a dead baby snake in our backyard last week while Traver was gone, yuck! 

Traver has been really busy the last few weeks with training, he spent last week in El Centro, California to do several flights that require really good weather that we just dont get out here. It was pretty sucky week for me, I missed having him home and having to deal with Boeing all by myself for a week was trying. The worst part of it was that he got zero cell service out there so we hardly got to talk at all, bummer! Oh and I was sick, which was really lame, because I never get sick, and I was! But he finished out there with good grades and made it home for our trip to Pensacola we had planned for this past weekend. It was great, there was a ball down there that we went to which was fun and a whole bunch of guys from our base got their wings and had a big party down there which was really fun. We stayed in a not so great hotel because we took Boeing with us, and nice hotels dont generally allow dogs, but it was alright. We took Boeing to the dog park for the first time, he loved it and there werent really any other dogs around, so he just got to run around and have fun! It was a great way to exhaust him before the 3 hour drive back up to Meridian. 

At this point things are good, but Im getting impatient to find out where we are going next. We should hopefully have an official winging date for Traver soon, and we are hoping it will be sometime in mid or late July. Then we should hopefully be moving to the west coast (fingers crossed) sometime in August. Although we finally found a church and I have some great friends here, I am ready to move, get a job, and start the next chapter of our lives. But everything happens in God's time and it will work out just like its supposed to.

God Bless!
