Travel // Driving Through Dallas

This week I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures I took of Dallas, Texas. I really thought the city was pretty. Unfortunately I didn't get to see much of it. We were craving Chick-fil-a for lunch that day and there happened to be one in downtown Dallas.

I look so tiny standing next to that sign!
I had never even heard of an HOV Lane. I am from Cincinnati, they don't have HOV Lanes!

I love the way the highway looks in Dallas.






Overall I thought Dallas was a pretty city. I think I could have stayed there all day. Kinda a shame that we were just passing through. While we were eating our Chick-fil-a, I got a few compliments on my platinum blond hair. People were nice in Dallas. :)

The River Walk - San Antonio, Texas

A week ago I posted some pictures that I had taken of The Arch in St. Louis. This week I wanted to share photos I took in San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio is where all the Air Force Basic Training Graduations are. San Antonio is know for it's River Walk. We went to the River Walk and did a boat tour, the day before the graduation. It was fun to ride on the boat and hear about the history of the city. The river you ride through is surrounded by tall buildings, restaurants and a shopping mall. I really enjoyed taking pictures....

I have no idea what I was laughing about, but apparently it was really funny.

PROUD AIR FORCE WIFE

I am back from Texas with tons of pictures. I just picked some of my favorites to share with everyone. Cody ended up graduating with Honors. He was in the top 10% of his class out of 834 trainees. The first day they held the Airmen Run and the Coin Ceremony. Everyone lines up on the street to watch all the trainees run by. It was very exciting...

As you can see Cody was super excited and happy! I thought I was going to cry for sure, but once Cody saw me and we made eye contact all my sadness was replaced with happiness. After the run we had to wait about 2 hours before the Coin Ceremony. This was when I was pleasantly surprised to find out Cody had been awarded Honors. I had great seats and was really close to Cody, that is why he started to grin in the picture! I screamed, " I'm proud of you baby! " Then he really smiled.

Then the moment I had been waiting for finally came. The ceremony was over and I ran to Cody so I could hug and kiss him....





It was a great weekend but was also a very sad weekend. Cody is now in California. We are over 2000 miles apart. He will not be done with school for 7 months. It is heartbreaking to not be able to be with my husband. There is a chance I may end up moving to California in the next few months because I can not see myself only visiting him. It is very complicated and I have no idea what is going to happen, only time will tell.
