So the past week or so has been pretty busy.
Callan is going to MEPS Monday :) he will be signing his contract and
from there we just wait for an opening to leave for boot camp! And then we can get this show on the road!!
I can't wait! I haven't really touched on the subject of Callan joining the airforce at all. So I guess now is as good of time as any!
Well, basically Callan got this amazing job at kennecot copper mine under a private contractor who works on the property. Callans job is extremely hard work! He gets up by 5:00 am every day and is out the door by 5:30. His work starts at 6ish and he works outside all day until 3pm and is home to me by 4!
This job has been such a blessing and we are so grateful that Callan has a steady income and such a good job.
But we realized that with a baby on the way that this job works for 2 people just fine, but for a family it would just be really difficult..
So after much deliberation and a lot of research Callan and I decided to go back the military route.
For those of you who don't know, Callan was enlisted in the Navy last year and was set to leave March 13 of this year. But since I wasn't supposed to be pregnant due to my health Callan made the call to opt out of the navy.
And since I am having an okay pregnancy (for my health normally it's been fantastic)
Callan and I decided that since I am doing great we would both love up take up the military life again.
So we chose the Air force. :) we are both thrilled!
And Callan had a very high score on the AVSAB test and qualified for every job available in the airforce.
So we have been spending the past few weeks looking at which jobs he is interested in, and which jobs work best for or family and the future.
At MEPS he will sign his contract and list the jobs he chose.
Which they are all "intell" jobs so we will basically be going to tech school in Montaray California sometime next year and since all the intell jobs have a tech school longer than 20 weeks I will go with him!
We are so excited! Our summer is basically booked! This month is our last month to relax for I'm sure the next 18 or so years!
Starting in June we have callans bday on the 3! Im working with his dad to plan a surprise camping trip for him. And since its basically our last Summer in Utah and our last time to really spend time with his family before starting out on our adventure it will be a lot of fun! I hope it all works out!!
Then MTV will be back around the 5! And we will film, and be busy with them.
We have a baby shower on the 9th and our first anniversary on the 11th.
From there we have the 14th-17th booked with 2 baby showers, Lagoon, fathers day as lots of family summer fun!
From there we will continue to get ready for our little man!
July should be fun!
We have another Lagoon day with all 10 of callans siblings mad step siblings and the 4th of July with them all!
Kind of a last hurrah for callans youngest brother Quinton who is going on his mission to London, England at the end of August.
Then Archer will be here! And the rest of July will be filled with learning to be a mommy and daddy.
Ahhh! August! Achers baby blessing and Quintons farewell as well as callans (end of August or beginning of September)
So lots of celebrating, parties, and farewells and welcoming new lives! And saying goodbye to old ones!
And as soon as Callan heads out Archer and I will head south to Arizona to stay with my family!
Archer will have 2 uncles and a very protective Aunt and a proud nana and grandpa to help him and his mommy while dad is gone! So there will be plenty of love and support to go around!
This year is going to be exciting!
I'm so proud of my husband for working to hard to be physically fit and training for basic training.
He is so brave and loving and such a great provider for me!
He is such a good man to leave me and his son to go away for 8 weeks (possibly longer) to become apart of our countrys military. I am proud to be his wife!
:)
