That's my Hubby!

My hubby is flying one of these helos in this picture I found the other day! How exciting! I can't remember which one he is in... but he's there. Gracie and I saw him fly over us when we went to see him fly over Mt. Trashmore.

It has been so much fun getting to know so many people in his squadron. Everyone that I've met has left a great impression. The wives welcomed me in at the Wives Club meeting last week. Somehow, I was put in charge of doing the newsletter... I have no idea how.

It's been wonderful to see the Lord stretch me in ways I didn't think would be stretched. I've had to come out of my comfort zone and get to know people that I wouldn't of had the opportunity to get to know. They all laugh at me and tease Michael because I'm so young. Oh well. He thinks it's funny.


That's been another opportuntiy the Lord has given us as a couple. Throughout the various parties I've gone to with Michael we have both been given the opportunity to see how the other will take care of themselves. (I know that was very poor grammar, but, oh well!) I got to see before we were married how Michael takes care of me around people I don't know. Likewise, he got to see how I interact with people I don't know in somewhat awkward cirmustances. Thankfully, both of us got 110%. :-)

A praise report from a Celiac:

Just to give everyone a quick update - actually, a praise report!

Two years ago I was diagnosed with Celiacs disease. During that time I found that I was also having problems digesting milk (which I drank like it was water). My doctor told me that it was not uncommon for celiacs to have a lactose intolerance. To me, that was worse than not being able to have bread anymore!

My doctor said that after about nine months of being on the gluten free diet I should be free from my intolerance to lactose, but I could keep it for the rest of my life. The latter happened. :-(
So, I've been buying my half gallon of Lactaid for the last two years. ( I did have a spout where I was drinking soy, but I gagged too many times for my liking .)

Then... I got married! I got married to the bestest man in the whole wide world, who was shaped and crafted to be perfect for me!!! I love Michael! About a week after we got back I had a glass of milk, just for the heck of it.

There was not reaction!! My face didn't breakout. My stomach wasn't upset. Hurrah! I'm still not drinking a whole lot of milk but I'm excited that I don't have to be afraid of it!


So... Got milk? I do!!

The new Mr. & Mrs. are back!

Just letting everyone know that Michael and I are back in town! We had a wonderful trip and I am definitely enjoying being married to my best friend!!

Looking forward to catching up with everyone.
