I believe my last blog should have had that category as well, but it didn't start out that way. But to my point, I do not understand why celebrities seem to think their opinion matters. You have some of the most influencial politicians in Washinton never come out and say who they are "Endorsing" democrat or republican.
On the other hand, Robert De Niro comes out and "endorses" Obama... Mr. De Niro need to be more worried about focusing on making sure there isnt another Focker Movie.. Meet the Focker Babies... We pay him for his acting talent, and not his political opinon...
Now when it comes to Arnold, Thompson, the ever so great Jesse "the body" Venture, and lets not forget Ronnie Reagan. These fine gentleman have thrown their hat in the ring, and its not about endorsing anymore, they have put the gloves on at their own expense...
What is the deal with the money issue that is going on, Hillary's team not getting paid, Hillary not giving up her tax returns, half of the candidates left worth more that the fiscal debt, but the others are just sitting ducks.
One more quick bit of Political Prophesy... McCain has to bring in those southern evangelical votes, and Huckabee will bring all of those on board...

I will start out with my political prophesy " However, the rest of them are not going to give up.  I believe Romney will, but there is no way Huckabee will, so we will see, that may turn out for the best for Huckabee..."  an exert (sp?) from my Super Fat Tuesday blog...   And now that Romney has "suspended" his campaign, while he reconsiders his failed business venture... :)  James Dobson has "endorsed" Huckabee... So, as long as a The faith based people and organizations trust Dobson enough we will see a little bit more of a swing from the Romney supporters over to Huckabee.  This could possibly be the one move that slides the man right into position...  I am really actually torn.  I have a very mixed position on everything in the political world right now.  Even though, I do love my man W...

- I do want some major change. 

- I do want to see more progress in Iraq. or atleast more news coverage of what we are doing over there... I know we will be there for many many many years, I mean, the Air Force has been over there since the first Gulf War... So we aren't leaving people...  

- I do want to see some change in Health Care.

- I do want to see Educators taken better care of.

- I do want to see taxes to be spread out more fairly.

My problem is, If I would decide to vote for Obama, I have to decide if he can get all of this through the hoops.  A little known fact that most people wouldn't know is that Income tax was created by people like JP Morgan, and other prominant bankers back in the late 1800s-early 1900's.  This was thrown over our eyes as a constitutional thing, but is no where in the constitution as we know it.  Another fact I found out a few weeks ago, was Billy Clinton was the first Democratic President in 48 years and 9 presidents! This shows you a little bit of what our country works, and maybe what is going wrong with our country.  In my personal opinion, this seems as if the parties have flip flopped and the donkeys have taken not nessecarily the bad guy role, but maybe the TOO COMFORTABLE ROLE...  I am not saying either party is good these days, but I am saying there are good candidates, and we have to look for that in these candidates...

Get out and vote people!  If you haven't noticed atleast the independants and democrats have gotten out...  Throughout all of the caucuses and primaries, you will see the winner from the republican party will win with 60% and have 320,000 votes... and the winner from the democratic party will win with 45% and they will have almost a million votes... like 996,000 votes...  This is showing me that America wants some change... It is kind of exciting times, I am excited to see what happens, even if a conservative candidate does pull off the win, there will be no way that they can ignore the desire for change! 

Did I mention I cannot wait to see the family!  Julianne said Hi da da today! haha  she is apparently walking around pushing a toy.  Jordan is going right to bed, in his own room.  And Jayme is getting some school work done!  I don't know how she does it! But I wish I was there to help her out! 

42 Days until I see my family again!!!

Honestly, things are going ok, I officially got my separation orders, final out date, final out of finance, and final out of housing.  The only thing I really need to do is set up our TMO for shipping our things back to the homeland!  hahaha  

Ethics is practically giving me an ulcer... I have to write a paper on Emannuel Kant, and frankly, I can't understnad anything they are saying about him or what he wrote himself. I really can't grasp who's point of view is you "ought" to do something rather than "doing" it.  That isn't a very good example, because that still isnt right... hahaha  It is more like you doing something because you "want" to do it, and doing something because you "ought" to do it... Whatever... 

We have the best friends in the world.  <-- Period... Jayme had been kind of worried that I would go right into wooster and have my friend base already set up, but she wouldn't have those close friends.  Well she wasn't there 24 hours before one of them found out, and organized a lunch with a bunch of the moms from the church.  She was so excited because they all thought of her, and went out of their way to make her feel welcomed and comfortable.  That is one point where we have went seriously wrong over the past 6 years, keeping to ourselves, not really wanting to go out and do things if we didn't want to.  Thats why we know this is where God want's us.  

I am so excited to get there to get our life as we know it started... 

43 Days until I see my family again...

Well today could quite possibly be the day which changes our country for better or worse.  I have a feeling tonight will be the night one or the other of both parties are going to start looking for their vice president candidate.  I don't however think Obama will give up if Hillary takes today, I do not believe he will give up and accept her offer for being president.   On the Donkey side, I feel McCain will finish up pulling away, and starting to select his VP.  However, the rest of them are not going to give up.  I believe Romney will, but there is no way Huckabee will, so we will see, that may turn out for the best for Huckabee... I would love to see the IRS to dissapear, haha, just for the simple fact that they make so many people's lives miserable.   

Ok back to real life, I am so excited Jayme and the kiddies got to make their way up to Wooster.  This week will be a very big week for Jordan to take in and accept Wooster!  I am praying that all of these storms stay calm and don't produce those crazy spinning things that will make him dislike that area just like Clovis!  We are really excited to see where things go.  God has began to open the doors for us, and build our confidence.  We are switching realtors, but the biggest thing is we are soo blessed to have different realtors wanting to help us out... That is awesome!  

The Fat part is for Fat Tuesday, and apparently Mardis Gras ends today, just thought I'd throw that in... 

45 Days until I see my family again!!! 

Well, we are almost at our 45 day mark!  I totally gotta give it to the Giants, and the incredible performance was just greatness!  Eli Namath...

I'm sleepy, tomorrow's will be kinda both together... goodnight :)  Way to go Giants... 

 

46 days until i see my family again....

Well today was kind of here and there... I don't really know what to think about all this time that has passed so quickly. I guess it is a great thing, but I went to the library to return some books, came back ate a sandwich, studied, cleaned the kitchen, folded clothes, took a nap, and here I am... lol that is a really fast 13 hours... but anyways... I have to really give it to Jayme now, because I know she is having a really hard time getting things done, and taking care of the kids. I know it is hard and I can't believe she is so strong! They have all been really sick and she is stil holding it together! Thats the thing about military spouses. They are incredible. Simply amazing the things we (military guys) put them through, and they put themselves through! But I don't know what I would do on earth without her!

One of my friends, Mindi, who was originally the sister of my dude Randal, but since he went to Vegas has apparently forgotten I am alive! haha but anyways, Mindi his little sister graduated HS last year or the year before, and ended up marrying her HS friend, who just happened to join the Marines as soon as he graduated HS and went straight to Iraq. well he came back, she was still in Oregon and then moved to 29 Palms and got married to Shane! Seriously, like 3 days before he left for his 2nd deployment... I couldn't believe it, but she always seemed so strong online... and then her story was on MTV's "True Life" My husband is in Iraq. Yeah no joke, I have really thought she really held it together better than I would have, and then I saw the show, and I realized she is human and a true military spouse! Incredible! You have to say a prayer for Mindi and Shane because I know the stress and heartache you have to go through when you redeploy and join back up together as one. Each of you have your own routines, and the military is still there wanting you to do their thing, so it is going to be VERY tough. Just say a prayer for them and all of their peers in the upcoming reunion. It just so happens, our countdowns are the same. So she too has 48 days to see her hubby Shane, who I cannot be more thankful to for dedicating his life to the freedom of this country. Straight out of highschool, thinking about taking care of the one he loves, and completing his mission. He has all the respect in the world from me.

Here is the show...

48 Days until I see my family!

Today marks the day of yet another thing that I have accomplished throughout my short yet very full Air Force Career. As I look back over the past 6 years, I can see where he has been guiding me, even when I didn't know it. To Him be all the glory of anything that is brought out of my career and from here on out.

Early on, in my career, actually right at my first year in, I achieved the one goal, I did not think I could fulfill. This is something that most in the Air Force never have a chance at having the opportunity, and all most all of POL never have the chance. This was the great June day in Savannah Georgia, when I got to strap on a McDonnell Douglas F-15D Eagle for about 2-2 1/2 hours...

Shortly after that, I achieved one of the greatest achievements of my career, by being selected as Senior Airman Below-The-Zone. This is an honor for less than 2% of the Air Force's Airman First Class.

Another thing to check off the list was the opportunity to travel the world with my family throughout England, Scotland, France, Germany, and Qatar.

After that I was afforded the opportunity to test for Staff Sergeant (SSgt) and was promoted over 70% of the SrA in the Air Force and 96% of the first time testers. Getting selected as a Non-Commissioned Officer was a completely life changing event being charged with the responsibilty of an NCO.

Then I come to today, which is Testing for Technical Sergeant (TSgt) before my 6 year mark. Everything prior to this has led up to my opportunity to actually get to test for E-6 out of E-9. This leaves 3 ranks left to the highest enlisted rank in the Air Force. I don't know what the statistics are but out of all the POL people I have met in my career across 5 bases, (including tech school and deployed) I have only ever met 3 people that have tested prior to 6 years and made it and the stats for people who test prior to their 6 years has to be less than 10%. With all this said, to God be all that glory... It is just incredible what God can do in a little 'ol West Virginia boy.. haha but the last thing to check off is going to be separating honorably... :)

49 Days until I see my family again, and I quit my job!
