The graduation ball was a lot of fun but kind of bittersweet. It was nice getting to go to the dance with Josh but rough knowing that the next time I saw him, he'd be a graduated 2Lt about to head off on his 60 days. But it went well.
Graduation the next day was kinda sad and exciting all at the same time. After the graduation, I went to Josh's graduation dinner with his family. There were so many of them and I didn't really know what to say to anyone haha... It was a really good dinner (at Biaggi's) but it really sucked that when Josh took me back to the hill, it was the last time I was going to see him until 29 July.
Went home for Susan's graduation and commissioning which went really well. I had a great time at home and I'm glad it worked out as well as it did. Unfortunately, I found out while I was at home that I had been switched from CST Evasion Logistics to CST Survival Cadre. I was so upset! However, it ended up being a fantastic experience and I had a great time :)
I'm currently at Luke AFB in Phoenix, Arizona. I'm having a great time and I got to spend the day yesterday shadowing maintenance officers - 21A (aircraft maintenance) and 21M (munitions maintenance). It was fantastic and I loved every second of it. One of the best days ever. Today, we flew in F-16 simulators which was kinda fun but proved to me that I really shouldn't be a pilot - good to know, right?
Anyway...I really miss Josh. I didn't really think it would be possible to miss him this much, but I really do. He's in Germany right now getting ready to come back to the US after about 3 weeks in Europe - primarily Italy. I actually even went so far as to invite him to come to Phoenix to spend Independence Day weekend with me....but I doubt that will happen because it's kinda expensive. Ah well... I get to see him in no more than 35 days... :)
