Dreams do come true!

DREAM 1

There are two things I have always loved in life. #1. chocolate. #2. Shoes. And it's a good thing I love shoes b.c. no matter how much weight I gain from eating my beloved #1 I can still fit my shoes!

Since being married Isaac we have lived in two houses. And in those houses my 50ish pairs of shoes have been a jumble mess on the closet floors. So, when we moved to Tinker my wonderful Hubby offered to make me a shoe organizer. I LOVE it! I can now see over 40 pairs of heels and wedges lined up...I'm not gonna lie...sometimes I open my closet and lie on my bed and stare at my shoes (now that I can see them) ha ha

DREAM 2

Little Isaac was born in FL 1 week after we got there! B.c. of the move and Isaac coming early I didn't get to do a dream nursery and it didn't seem worth it to invest in one since we were moving so soon. So, when I found out we were moving to Tinker I was so excited to get to chose a theme for his room! We decided to go for a Safari/Jungle room. #1 b.c. little Isaac loves animals. # 2 We want to have another baby while we are stationed here and I wanted something unisex incase it's a girl. We were really blessed and found a girl that did an AWESOME mural at a great price! Here it is....
The sign on his door


She let him paint the baby tiger! I love it!

finished product....awwww

Sarah, did everything free hand based off of this curtain (we took the closet door off b.c. we didn't want him to pinch his fingers!)

Giraffe and monkey!

Zebra and Butterfly!

Tiger with a cub!
Cute lil Lion and a tree with a monkey!

So, that's his room! If you are in OKC and you are intersted in Sarah doing a mural for your kiddos room, contact me!

Won't you be my neighbor?

I love that my hubby is in the Airforce. I love that we get to go new places and meet new people. The sucky part is leaving the people you've grown to love.

June '08: The old neighbors left and new ones moved in. A good friend of mine from GA was down visiting and it was a rainy day. We sat in the living room staring at the rain. Then we saw movement on the porch next door. My neighbor was sweeping her porch and then her walls (I later found out she was getting the spiderwebs down). Later I saw her knitting. I thought to myself 'well, we don't have much in common'.

A few weeks later over much debating I went to introduce myself to the new neighbors. Little did I know that I would be meeting one of my best friends.

I find it amusing that I was thinking to myself that I would never have anything in common with Lisa. We sat hours on her porch talking, venting, and laughing. And when she moved to new housing we sat on her new porch and did the same thing. I don't know what I would have done without her in Florida.

Last week I got a text from her saying that her and her hubby are going to Germany. I was super excited for her, then my husband said "Baby you know they are not going to come through Tinker to train, they go straight to Germany". Why is it men say things they shouldn't at the most inappropriate times?! This statement made me hit reality, which made me burst into tears. Anyways, even though she is going to Germany I know we will keep in touch (Thank goodness for cell phones and Skype)

Lisa will always be my neighbor. Our backyards will just be Oklahoma and Germany, until we get stationed at the same base or meet again and get to sit on a porch and talk about life.

Tyndall to Tinker

On the way from Tyndall to Tinker we made a stop in Memphis. Of course you can't go to Memphis without visiting Graceland! Graceland was alot of fun. Isaac was like a kid in a candy store!

Had to take a pict with the pink Cadillac

We thought it was be fun to visit another museum. This one sounded interesting. Boy was it ever! I knew our guide would tell us about 10% truth when the first room we walked into was covered in Obama junk *puke*

Of course we didn't forget about little Isaac. We realize Graceland and an Underground Railroad Museum was not his idea of fun, so we took him to the children's museum. He had a blast!

Being a Firefighter

We had to do Easter on the Road. The original plan was to do his Easter egg hunt at a rest area. However, it rained the WHOLE trip! So, we did it in the hotel. He still had a good time :)

Well, that was our trip. The end.

Goodbye Florida

It seems just like yesterday we were coming over the bridge to our new base, and now it’s time to leave. We have to say that overall we really liked living in FL. We will definitely miss the beautiful warm weather, the beach, fishing, Big Mama’s and all the friends we made ( all though it seems most of them have been stationed elsewhere and have left already and some we get to see again! Yay!). What we won’t miss is the smell of the paper mill, the driving (if they want to call it that), the lack of highways, and the Wal-Mart, and the overall ghettoness. So, onto our next adventure…cold, windy Oklahoma here we come!

A lil' background info.

How Isaac and I met:


I was home for the summer after graduating from college. So, what kind of job did I get with my hard earned degree? Ready for this? I worked at Lazer Wash! That's right a car wash! What every college graduate yearns to do! Anywhoo, you know that rumor about how you gain the freshman 15? Well, I gained the freshman 15, the sophomore 10, Junior 10, and Senior 10. Lucky for me I have a lil' sister who loves to work out and torture people into working out with her. Apparently working at the car wash in 100 degree weather was not burning enough calories, so she talked me into joining the gym.
One day while doing the elliptical a guy walked in. He had on a bandanna around his head, a muscle shirt, wind pants, and a mean look. My sister leaned over and whispered "just your type". And that was a problem. I had sworn off the gangsta types or Military guys. And he def. looked military or gangster. So, my goal in the gym was to avoid him at all cost. The problem was that he was smart. He quickly realized that my sister and I hung out with our friend, Josiah, at the gym. So, he made friends with Josiah.
Well, one day Josiah had to get his wisdom teeth removed. A perfect opportunity this fella to ask me where his work out buddy was. And somehow that turned into a 30min convo. 'hmmm' I thought to myself 'that guy's pretty nice'.
So, a week goes by and it was my Birthday so I asked for the day off of work to go shopping . Well, shopping always makes me feel fat. So, I hit the gym. Guess who was there? The "my type to avoid guy" aka Isaac! Well, we made small talk again for an hour...when he asked when my birthday was I tried not to sound like a big loser being in the gym on my Birthday and said "July 7th" Well, he figured it out and asked me to Chili's that night. We got there at 6pm and stayed till midnight talking. And from then on we were inseparable.


Proposal:
Pretty much after our Chili's date we both knew we had met "the one". So, we started dating in July '06. Said "I love you" by the 2nd week. And on Sept. 29, 2006 Isaac took me to "The Tower of America" in San Antonio, TX and proposed. It was so romantic!

Wedding:


We were married Nov. 19, 2006 in Seguin, TX.

Baby Fever:

So, you know how people say woman get baby fever? That was def. me! We got preggers on our honeymoon and on Aug. 21, 2007 at 5:50am Isaac David Cavazos was born! Yay! He was 20inches. 7.52oz. And a whole lotta cuteness!!!

Currently:

Currently we are stationed at Tydall AFB in FL. We really love being in the Air Force and living by the beach. And we love all the new friends we have made!


* So, the rest of these blogs will be random updates :)
Hope ya'll enjoyed the background info.

Why, you ask?

So, I've decided to do this blog thing b.c. we are Airforce and I really want to keep in contact with the friends we have made. Anywhoo, despite that fact that I have a degree and had to write a 53 page paper min. to graduate, I really stink at grammar, writing, and punctuation stuff!!! (Sorry, Dad ha ha ). Hopefully, ya'll can put up with all my mistakes!
