2nd and 50th anniversaries

Welllllll, I'm back at work.  The flight back was probably the smoothest trans-Atlantic flight I've ever had.  Pretty much every one of my friends/family have heard me complain about the ridiculous turbulence that occurs during my flights (usually around the equator), but this time there was barely any!  So you'd think that I would have gotten a solid 7-9 hours of sleep - WRONG.  I had the pleasure of having a very vocal baby and hyperactive 3-year old in the row behind me.  Between the shrills of joy, screams of anger, and pitter-patter of little feet up and down the aisle - I got about 2 hours of shut-eye, if that.  Needless to say, I've been going to bed pretty early this week and I plan on enjoying a nice long nap this afternoon.

There are two pretty important things I'm missing back home this weekend...First is my 2-year anniversary with my honey!  Two years ago today Chad walked into my life, and right away I let him know that I was moving back home to Texas in 6 months, assuming that would be the end of that - thankfully I was wrong!  He has been so incredibly supportive from day 1, and even though we've had our fair share of ups and downs he continues to encourage me everyday.  He puts up with my ice-cold hands and feet, annoying morning-person habits (thanks Lisa), and my occasional sassy-ness like a pro.  I'm so sad that I'm not back home to celebrate, but, lucky for me, we have our African adventure right around the corner!

Yall know I document my life through Instagram, so here is what I was doing 104 weeks ago...

Second, I owe BIG congratulations to my amazing grandfather and his brother on celebrating 50 years with their company Comfort Air Engineering!  Most of the family is down in San Antonio this weekend helping celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Pa and Robert founding Comfort Air.  I couldn't ask for a better role model in my life than my Pa.  He and Robert risked so much to follow their dreams, and have truly come out on top!  Not only have they provided a wonderful life for their very grateful families, but they are truly leaving a legacy for many generations to come.  Sending lots of love from Angola!

2014 - could they be any more adorable??

I'm only working 3 weeks this time around, which should fly by since everyone's returned from the holidays and things have picked back up.  So after my next time off, I'll get back to my normal 28/28 rotation, maybe ;)

5 days down, 16 to go!  xoxo...
