MTL Graduation

Well this is slightly a backdated post. I really am horrible at this.

On July17, 2009 I graduated from the Military Training Leader school and earned my blue rope. So for the next 4 years I will be at Lackland AFB babysitting a bunch of technical training students. Even though sometimes they act no better than my 5 year old. I have my fingers crossed that I will survive the next 4 years, I hope I do but some days I wonder. It seems to be an up and down world out here and definitely different from maintenance. I have been doing this job for about 3 months now but every now and then it feels like an eternity. I am not saying it is all bad there are good days, and better days but man I tell you when the crap hits the fan it really hits and splatters.

Oh well here are some pics:

The weekend!

Yeah so I figured I would post some of the pictures from my awesome weekend with the family. Oh yeah and the whole wedding thing. My family is so awesome, drove all the way down here to see me get married. Helped out more than I could ever ask for, and help make my new wife's weekend just amazing!!!


Yeah, for some reason Tyler just loves to burp... but hey at least he says excuse me which is more than his dad (yeah that's me) can say.

Trying to get Ian's bow tie on

The only thing I ate the whole day before the reception... and for some reason my stomach was still turning in circles during the ceremony... I just don't understand.

I think Galean was starting to get bored, and since we had a pool table in the guys dressing room they got to play a few rounds.

Tyler and his new Aunt
My awesome parents and a few of their grand-kids... including their new one.

Had to put this one in here. My brother-in-law Eric... Volunteered and did a totally awesome job with the music. We got so many compliments, and he really helped take some of the stress off me! THANKS ERIC!
Ian and Amone dancing
Our beautiful flower girl and the ring bearer. Kind of funny, they thought Tyler would drop the rings down the grate in the church and it turned out that I dropped the ring during the ceremony and it almost went down the grate

Yeah we are STUDS!
