This week Monkey was sworn into the Air Force. He was extremely excited... The Air force will help us so much financially, he will have a job straight out of school, and we will have some awesome income and crazy benefits! The night before I have to say I was feeling a bit uneasy... 3 years we serve after school. And 5 years of inactive duty after that. I was feeling a bit like what if something extremely crazy does happen and Monkey will have to leave... tons of things filled my mind and I was getting very nervous about him doing this. The day of we met Srgt. Akridge and his buddy who got to swear him in. Watching him raise his hand and start to take his oath I felt my heart was going to POP out of my chest. As I heard the words my fears turned into pride. I felt so proud of the words he was saying and felt at peace with our decision! I am so proud of Monkey... I guess my Lieutenant... for working so hard for this scholarship and for putting so much faith into our future and knowing there is no what if's... we just do! So CONGRATS Monkey! We couldn't be so proud!

YEAH VER!! We are so proud of you! Way to go!!
That's awesome guys! Andy joined the Army last month and his brother is in the Air Force. There is an amazing pride that comes with being apart of the military. If you guys have any questions let us know. I would also suggest reading Married to the Military by Meredith Leyva it is very insightful. :0)
Yeah!!! That is great! He looks so official!! I think I am going to call him Lt. oliver from now on..And it is so great he will have a job right after school! I am dreading that for us! And don't think about what if's..I was told once that we should never worry about what could happen..we just have to figure it out if something does happen! and until then, don't waste time worrying!!! maybe that will help? It has with me!! Love ya guys!
