Coy's too busy...

Hi everyone!!!  I know many of you look forward to reading about Coy's week in his posts, but he's pretty busy this weekend so I'm blogging for him!!  But don't worry, he may post a blog after Monday when he gets some time.  

Of course Coy comes home and tells me all about his flights, EP's, EPQ's, etc on a daily basis, however, I am not familiar enough with the lingo to explain to you all what went on this past week…so, he'll have to fill you in when he can.  Overall, I know it was a pretty good week for him - stressful - but no one said this was going to be easy….right?!!  He did 2check on Friday (his check ride before his check ride…) and that went "ok".  I can tell you that he has his NAV Check tomorrow, so he's been at the squadron studying…all day yesterday, and all day today.  It's funny because at the beginning of T6's, I'm sure most of you remember, we had a "wife day".  Well, we (the wives) were told that they need our husband's full attention Monday - Friday afternoon…..and we could have their attention Friday night & Saturday…but Sunday it was back to the grind!!  Then the husbands were told that they needed to focus…pilot training comes around once, and you can always get another wife!! hahahahahahaha  I understand 150% that his training is way important so I stay out of his way….but I don't get him to myself on weekends like they told us we would.  Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles I guess!!  The time we do get together on weekends is so much fun!!  And what's a year and a half of training compared to a lifetime of marriage?!  My point exactly!!  If they needed him every weekend during this whole process, I'd be ok with it ; )  That's why the US has the best trained pilots!!!   I'm definitely proud to be an American!! 

I know that his NAV Check is a really important check ride in T1's…I'm assuming, not if, but when he passes his check ride tomorrow it'll be smooth sailing the rest of the time….hopefully!!  (But who am I kidding, I have no clue!!)  I just know that I can't wait until he gets his wings….this has been a long, rough journey, but it's all worth it in the end.  

I have a pretty funny story about last week…. As you all know, our computer died so we ordered an Apple.  Well, of course Coy could not wait to get the iMac.  So, on Friday of last week I was hanging out with my friend Wendy….we were just out in down town Del Rio eating lunch, having fun…..and then, my phone rang.  It was Coy.  He told me that our computer was not on the FedEx truck that came onto base.  He explained that he approached the FedEx guy on base, he didn't have our package so he called the other truck that delivers at a later time on base, and that guy didn't have our package either.  Long story short….the manager gave Coy Carlos's cell phone number.  Carlos drives the FedEx truck that delivers in the city.  So Coy wanted me to call Carlos and meet up with him to get our computer. hahahaha….Wendy and I saw places in Del Rio we didn't even know existed!!!  And we found Carlos!  I felt like we were partaking in illegal activity….you know, FedEx side deals….meeting Carlos on the side the road and all….pretty funny!!!  Needless to say, we got the computer!!  Then to play a little game on Coy we lied to him & told him that we couldn't find Carlos, got lost in Del Rio & just went home.  He was heartbroken & ready to go find Carlos himself, so we had to tell him that we did get the computer he waited….just a couple of days for :)  I love my Coy!  However, I'm thinking he might love this computer more than me….just kidding!!  It is really nice!!!  I'm not really that used to it yet, after all, if Coy's home I don't get much computer time in because he hogs it!!  Anyway enough about Coy's girlfriend :)

This is our friend Wendy operating heavy machinery on Main St. in Del Rio.  The city is redoing the roads on Main St. so there are so many toys just laying around after hours.  Wendy is....a country girl, so even in a dress and heels she couldn't resist a photo op!!!  

This weekend was pretty fun….on Friday, class 10-14 dropped.  It was a pretty good drop….an A10, F22, a few other fighters, B52, C17's, etc….no RPA's!!!  Crazy….but a Col on base explained how awesome 10-14 was….the best class ever.  I'm sure they're great, but I think class 11-01 is just as great :)  They work just as hard, I'm sure.  It's amazing how fast this year has gone by.  In 4 weeks, class 10-15 will drop, and then 11-01!!!  7 more weeks!!!  We all can't wait!!!!!!  After drop Coy & I went to dinner with our friends Leslie and Donnie & their baby, Jet.  We went to a place called Jitra...it's a Thai Cuisine....pretty good.  There was a couple one table over - they were talking to Jet some during the meal.  Anyway, we learned after they left that they payed for all of our meals.  We didn't even have a chance to say thank you - so Thank you to all those who do anonymous deeds out there....we definitely appreciate it :)  

Well, it's been nice blogging because I haven't done it in a while.  I may be baby-sitting on Wednesday for about 4 hours….so I'm sure I'll have some funny stories from that!!  Thank goodness it's a girl, because if we couldn't do hair, make-up, and nails, I'm not sure what we'd do!!  I hope all of our readers have a good week….check back in the middle of the week because Coy may post an entry since he didn't this weekend!!  Bye!
