Painting, A new job, and a new addition

Kathryn and I are really getting settled in to our home and making it our own. We're painting some walls right now to give our house a little more of a homey feel. Pictures will be coming soon!

I had a bit of a scare last week when I was told that I was not medically qualified to be a Space & Missiles operator. It was news to me! Apparently, I should have never been sent to Vandenberg because my medical waiver had disqualified me in March. But, the personnel office and the med group never communicated and here I am. I would have been eligible to begin training next October, but since I was already ere, they put a new waiver through and i am on schedule to start class in January.

In the meantime, I have a job as the executive officer in the base contracting squadron. That means I am direct support to the commander for whatever he needs to do his job. So far that's included reviewing paperwork, developing briefings, and schedulig appointments.

The bulk of our attention, however, has been devoted to our newest family member. Romeo is a black lab puppy, and he is as cute as can be! He turns 8 weeks on Tuesday, and we will have had him 2 weeks on Wednesday. He is a true puppy and loves chewing everything, but we are so happy to have him and can't wait to show him off to all of you soon!
Be Joyful Always, Pray Continually;
Give Thanks In All Circumstances,
For This Is God's Will For You In Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
