Assignment Night

Last Friday Shay had his assignment night. It is the night we finally get to find out what aircraft he will be flying. He has worked so hard this past year and we are so proud of him. Because of all his hard work, he was able to get his first choice! He will be flying the C-17 and our first duty station will be at McChord AFB in Tacoma, WA! We are happy to be back with family! We do not have orders yet but we know we probably won't be up there until at least June. Shay still has to do a 4 month C-17 training at Altus AFB here in Oklahoma and then another month of survival training. I will stay here in Enid while Shay goes to Altus. It is about 3 hours south of here. It will be tough to have him gone with a newborn but will will see him on the weekends. So if anyone wants to come visit me I would love the company! We are excited for this new chapter in our lives and know it will be challenging as a family but we know this is the right thing for us. Here are some pictures from assignment night...
