IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK....

Today is talk about my husband day!....Happy Monday!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Sorry once again for the delayed posts. It was a very busy week last week and still trying to catch up on things. It was a wonderful weekend with friends and family!

I wanted to talk a little about the McConnell Air Force Base Air Show. We went with wonderful family friends of ours. Nick was super excited to share his knowledge of the planes with someone new :D

Inside of KC 135

I noticed as we neared the KC135 my stomach went into knots. That's the plane my husband works/worked on. Currently,  he teaches about the plane and doesn't deploy or TDY near like he did. I found myself sweating as we entered it. I looked on the walls at where he use to sleep and it made me so emotional. I know, I'm emotional right now anyhow but it was to the point I had to get off that plane. It wasn't until we got home that I realized that plane is so symbolic to me. It use to take my husband away from me all of those times off to places he sometimes couldn't even tell me about or even call from...for days, weeks, months. They always blended together and felt like eternity. I know this is his job and I know I must always be strong for him but it never gets easier.

I'm so thankful for his new job but know he only has a few more years where I can spend time with him every night and have dinner with him consistanly. Last time, dinner time was the hardest for me. It was when I had time on my hands and knew no one else was coming home. Just me and my bub. It's amazing some of the simple things I missed that some people take for granted. I still find myself settling into this new life we have together and forgetting how it use to be. I'm so thankful for every moment. He still has 10 more years in the Air Force and that time will come again when I get to wait  on the runway, looking to the sky for that plane to land so I can finally see him come down those stairs and hug me and know that he IS real. I'm so proud of my husband and what he does for this country. I love him dearly. As I told my girlfriend Amy, If these walls in the airplane could talk...they would have so many stories. God Bless America!

Here is a video of what the plane does....That is the boom that drops and fuels the B-52 in this video...
