Woohoo Cornhuskers!
I've already sent the word out to a few people, but for some reason it's taken me a while to post the information here:
People, we are going to Nebraska.
CORN! (I love corn. Corn is so yummy and delicious and sweet and good I can't even believe it's a vegetable.)
Seriously, Dominic and I are excited about this. He will be flying RC-135's, of which I know nothing about except that they are big planes that fly out of Nebraska, and he will be an EWO (Electronic Warfare Officer) instead of a navigator. This is good, because as it turns out, Dominic HATES navigating airplanes. Tricky Air Force, just blindly assigning people jobs. It reminds me of a book I read once.
I'm excited about Nebraska because we will be living in Omaha, which is a city, and we will be near Lincoln, which is an even bigger city. I'm also excited about stirring up the Midwest a bit with my southern flava. Yeah! "Y'all want some cornbread with that? I baked it in a skillet!" The thing I'm most excited about, however, is that I have choices, actual choices, about graduate school. If I can get accepted into a masters program at the University of Nebraska it would be a good thing because everybody's heard of it. When I married Dominic I knew I would keep up my education, but what I didn't know was what kind of options I would have. Turns out my options are great. Thank you crazy Air Force for assigning us to somewhere with multiple opportunities for higher education.
So things are good around here. Not as tense anymore now that we feel like we can start to make some plans for the near future. Dominic is still hard at work, but he gets the weekend off because he passed (mastered) a difficult test on Friday. I'm being gloriously lazy and reading as many books as I can stuff into my face.
Good stuff all around.
