Graduation

Aviano held a graduation ceremony for all the graduates from all the different colleges represented on base. It was a nice little ceremony and even though I finished in December now I feel officially finished.

I love Air Force cakes. They don't mess around!

And the best part, Andy made the MOST delicious dinner, steak and crab legs! It was soooo good!

Happy Easter!

These pictures are long overdue but we had a good Easter even though Andy was gone. He has missed both of Amber's Easters now :( But who's counting?

NCO-Academy Graduation in Volgelweh Germay

This week Amber and I were able to travel up to Germany to see Andy's graduation from NCO-Academy (Non-Commissioned Officer). We flew up on Tuesday and then came home on Friday. It was a fast trip but we had a good time. It was great to see Andy again after 5+ weeks.

Andy graduating. Yes, I know (once again) it is the worst picture in the history of the world. I always take bad pictures at these ceremonies.

So fun getting dressed up. At 10 weeks pregnant I can still fit in my clothes, but not for long. It was a fun event, but NOT fun waiting for an hour in the lobby!

Mega cake! It was delicious. Can you tell Andy is contemplating diving in?

Andy was in Sabre flight.

Behind Sgt Diaz (in the bow tie) is Andy's slide from the slideshow.

Aviano NCO-Academy graduates. Some of Andy's classmates. Sorry about the trees and the bad view-these were taken from our room. This is the Retreat ceremony. Andy is the one in front folding the flag on the left. Its hard to find him in a sea of camo.

This is Andy's graduating class from NCO-Academy. There were about 150 graduates.

Neuschwanstein Castle

Seeing this castle was probably my favorite part of the trip. This castle was supposedly the inspiration for Cinderella's castle.

Its about a 25 minute walk up to the castle. They have carraiges that go up but we decided just to "hoof" it.

This castle was built by King Ludwig's father. Ludwig built the bigger more spectacular castle to outdo his father.

We finished the day with some delicious food.

Wieskirche Church

Germany!

We took a trip up to Germany and stayed at Edelweiss Lodge and Resort. We had a great time and these are some pretty random photos of the drive.

Sorry for the reflection in the glass.....

This castle is in Northern Italy. There are TONS of them! I never knew there were so many castles in Italy. Every few miles we spotted one.

Random buildings in Germany

Christmas Pics

We had Christmas pics taken of Amber by my friend Tiffany. She did a great job and we love the photos. And it was a good time! We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Enjoy the new year!
