Josh's Birthday Extravaganza

Josh's 24th birthday was on the 26th and we had a great day. It started a day early with a surprise. I made the only desert Josh will ever eat, Grandmas homemade Apple Pie.

That's right, I made it from scratch, what a pain in the butt!

The next day, us and the Mathi stopped in Birmingham on our way to Talladega.

Josh in Starbucks.Then Hooters for lunch
Then Talladega Motor Speedway!
So much fun!
So many rednecks. This guy is not wearing a shirt, but he's got suspenders.

This was our view of the race.

These kids sat in front of us and did this on almost all of the 117 laps.

And this is what Reggie likes to do when we let him outside. He's so silly!

Well, we have 44 more days until June 13th. Josh has been leaning more and more towards flying bombers over fighters. This changes a lot, so who knows. However, some options of where we could be going include Texas (B-1), South Dakota (B-1), Missouri (B-2) & Lousiana (B-52).

It sounds like it is a toss up between Missouri and Texas for us. Missouri would be the closest base possible to home only 9 hours away. But, the B-2 is hard to get, there are only 20 in the AF. It sounds like there are many differences between the B-1 and B-2. It also seems like a lot of bomber pilots start with the B-1, and then move to the B-2. It's possible to be at this next base for 3-4 years so we would like a location that would have a lot of good jobs for me to choose from :)
