Ringing in 2013

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Zed and I had an amazing time in Oregon and Idaho with the Davies gang. There was snowmobiling, go kart racing, snow ball fights, swimming, and lots of laughing. With a crew of 11 there was never a dull moment. The next time all 11 will be together again will be in 2yrs when we meet for Christmas again.

Zed starts another desk job tomorrow in his wait to start pilot training. Hopefully when he checks in tomorrow they'll have a set date for him. Cross your fingers!

6.5wks to go until Baby Davies is due to arrive. We've cleaned up the house, picked out a crib, and this coming weekend we'll be using our gift cards to finish the last minute shopping for bottles, diapers, wipes, and other random things. We're excited to meet our little girl.

We hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and New Year.

Keep reading, big changes are coming for the Davies!

Merry Christmas

Just a quick hello to all and a Merry Christmas. We have spent the time off in Oregon so far and leave for Idaho today. Once we get to Idaho, it will be the first time all 6 brothers, Stacy, and Elaine will be in the same place at the same time in 7.5 years. Myself, Melissa (Wes' wife), and Chiara (Dallen's fiance) will also be there so it'll be nice to have the family together for once. We'll be getting family pictures done and enjoying the snow.

We'll be back in Mississippi for the New Year and then back to work. We still have no word on Zed's start date for UPT and the baby is doing great. We've gotten tired of not having a name for her so I think we've finally picked one. Once we know for sure we'll pass it along.

Again, Merry Christmas. We hope everyone had a good holiday and is able to stick to those resolutions that will be made next week.

Pictures

These are not the most flattering of pictures, but they work.

9wks to Go

With 9wks to go the belly is getting mighty big. Once Zed gets home we'll take pictures and get them up. 

We have moved into our home on base and are mostly all unpacked. The cable and internet is hooked up and we're in the process of getting our washer and dryer connected. They gave us the washer and dryer, but forgot to include all the cords. 

Zed has an unofficial start date for pilot training...15 Feb 2013. That also happens to be the baby's due date.  His date may get pushed back to 15 March 2013 or it may stay the same. We should hear something next week or after the Christmas Break.

We travel to Oregon next Friday and we're both really excited to be back out west and be with family. It will also be our first chance to meet the soon to be new sister-in-law, Dallen's fiance Chiara! 

We hope everyone is doing well.

We Have A House

We got word today that there is an open house on base that we can move into. We accepted and will start moving in on Friday 7 December (a little over a week). It's a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath. Tow story duplex with a 2 car garage. A link to the floor plan is below. We already know the address so if you would like it let us know and we'll get it to you. We'll get pictures on here once we're moved in.

Together

We got word today that Zed will be moving up to Columbus this weekend! It's about a month earlier than we expected, but we are really excited. We put in our paperwork to get a base on house as well so we'll hopefully find out about when we would be moving by next week, possibly this week.

Zed has his physical fitness test tomorrow morning (sit ups, push ups, run) and then will work the rest of the day. He'll continue to outprocess and work on Thursday and Friday and then this weekend we'll start moving him out. On Monday he'll show up to Columbus AFB and inprocess. That includes a lot of running around base, filling out tons of paperwork, and packing up the apartment so we're ready to move once we get a house.

We'll keep you all updated on when we get a house.
