Sorry to neglect my site... Cory has been home for the past week and on the computer a lot so I have not been uploading pics or keeping up with my online world. He is now working a temp job for the next few weeks and then he has a job with Verizon Wireless set up to start the second week in June. he will be taken inbound calls from Spanish costumers. Not really glamorous or high paying, but it will take care of the bills.

For those that don't know, Cory, is in the middle of the very LONG and arduous process of applying to the Air Force for an officer position. Although this has been almost a year so far looking into this we haven't told many people because of a few reasons. First because I hate hearing other people opinions and if we should go military... its our life and I dont see why everyone else seems to take this so personally. ( Cory's mom keeps talking him out of it and then I have to talk him back into it and frankly all that passive aggressive convincing is exhausting!) And second because I hate to get my hopes up about things and then be disappointed and for some silly reason by not telling people I thought I could not think about it as much and not be sad if it doesn't work out. I now realize i am already invested in this option and will be fully disappointed already so why bother keeping it hush hush anymore.

He finally got all the paperwork, tests, physicals, and essays done. The deadline is June 6th to get everything in and all he has to turn in now is his letters of recommendation. I really am sad my grandpa is not here anymore since not only would he be completely supportive and excited for us, but he would have written us a great LOR and as a COL. that would have held some weight. The selection board meets in July and then we find out the results in August. The military is very much a hurry up and wait kind of operation. So for now we wait... if we do get in then we hurry and get a flight physical and then wait some more to get his officer training school class date ( boot camp for officers). Anyways I will not go into any more detail since I don't know if we we get in... although I really really want to and pray it works out. The pay and benefits would be great for my family and I would LOVE to get of Utah already. I am not a big fan of living here. (I can say this on here because Cory never reads my blog... he wants to be stationed in Utah at HILL... we will see I guess)

Oh and for anyone that is curious he is applying for a navigator position... which is great because then we get the flight pay bonus. For anyone who doesn't know what that is, if you have seen the movie top gun with Tom Cruise... you know how he is maverick and then his buddy is goose? well Cory would be like goose.. the other guy.
