Ellsworth Awards Ceremony 18'

We had a fantastic night with our military family as we celebrated all the hard work and dedication of key people that enhance the day to day operations at Ellsworth AFB.  Active Duty, civilian and volunteer awards were given throughout the night.  It's the last year of Eric's command and his squadron sure went out with a bang.  They had three nominations and all three won!!!  
I'm so proud of him and his squadron and how far they've come as a unit.  It was a tough two years with many bumps, but his squadron deserved a little reprieve and a night to enjoy!

14 Years of Us!

We celebrated our 14 year wedding anniversary in Spearfish today!  We enjoyed a very peaceful and serene hike which brought clarity and calmness to our crazy busy life.  The Black Hills National Forest is our favorite part of South Dakota and it really creates the urge to simplify and breathe it all in.  Afterwards we hit up our favorite restaurant in Spearfish which is Dough Trader.  It's very cute, quaint and delicious!  Can't believe 14 years have passed us by, but I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.   There's something to be said for growing up with your spouse and navigating all the highs and lows together.

Twelve?! Say it ain't so

We have a preteen middle schooler and I'm going to want to hide this year because once he turns 13, I know a part of me is going to FREAK out.  How did we get to this point?  The years are just flying by, yet why do I feel so tired?!  HAHA! 

Ethan celebrated his birthday by inviting his friend, Ali, for a fun filled day at Flags and Wheels!  There was go-kart racing, laser tag, pizza, and an ice cream pizza cake as requested!  It was pretty much a blizzard outside, but that didn't dampen our fun.  Ethan's best quality is how low-key he is and it always shines through when we're planning his birthday.  We had a great day celebrating him and showering him with love.
