Considering we were in Montgomery, in hotel rooms, and got to spend little time with our husbands when they were studying, I had an amazing time because of you girls! Meagan I had so much fun doing even the smallest things with you and doing crazy things like Atlanta, red and yellow knight baby!! Emmy if we ever decide to love the same sport, the world better watch out! Katie you were so inspiring and I hope I get to see you very soon!! I pray that we will see all of you guys again and that we can revive the BCG one sweet day. Here are pictures you've probably already seen but that I love.






I think everyone will agree with me that on the first day of pottery class we had no idea what we were doing and were even worse off after Lucy told us what to do! Bless her heart when she started talking everyone had a look of fear on their faces because all we could do was nod and say ok. She was the most patient and helpful lady in the world and we all got amazing creations to remember Maxwell by! Katie, I hope you get that new puppy, Meagan, keep building that rooster collection Dan will thank you someday, Emmy, don't break it like Meagan did! Ashley we loved your frog!




Atlanta was amazing! We spent hours at the Aquarium and saw some breathtaking sea creatures. FYI, the big wooden fish will not jump out and eat you. You have to check out the Beluga whales, this guy was not just swimming around, he was performing. He was swimming in circles in front of the glass over and over and was posing for the cameras. And I swear this is a true story: So they have these incredibly intelligent people speaking all the time in front of the large exhibits about what the whales eat, migration, blubber, how they regurgitate the air from the surface, all that fun stuff. The guy starts talking about mating season and how to tell which one is the boy and which are the girls. Now the male beluga is still swimming up and down in front of the glass and performing. The guy explains the males equipment is kept inside and comes through a slit in his tummy while the whale is looping around and I swear (there were witnesses) on his next circle this whale pops out his equipment right on cue. No picture evidence, I was busy covering my eyes...and that's not a big brain, its blubber.





What did the Air Force do when a good ol game of dodge ball wasn't good enough? They created Icarus, a game combined of dodge ball and mandatory fun and war game theory. Doesn't sound like much fun until you add in the BCG! We are protective, know the rules, and hate the refs, all a good mixture for sideline involvement in the game. Personal attacks on players that think we are a wives club? Inappropiate posters? "Help" the refs make calls? Cow bells? YES YES YES!!
