An Update of Many Things

It's been awhile since I've updated so this blog will cover a few different topics:

I'll start with a House Update:
I've finally gotten most of the furniture I'll be acquiring for awhile.
The blue chair, coffee table, and end table are all loaner furniture from the AF so they will be going away soon. And I found that rug today at the BX and I LOVE it. It matches perfectly with my couch, chair, and the curtains I am planning on buying. Not to mention my Mexican blanket on my couch.


The bedroom set came in pieces so I had to put it together myself.

I got the bed together on my own but I enlisted the help of Jeremy and the Elders to put the Schrunk (aka wardrobe) together.

This is the final product


So that's the House Update.
I shall now move on to the Work Update:
First, for those of you who are unfamiliar with Air Force structure, I need to give a little lesson. For those of you who are, you can completely skip this part -
The structure is as follows Wing>Group>Squadron>Flight>Unit(or element). The Wing usually covers pretty much everyone on base (that I'm aware of) but here we're different and have 3 Wings cuz we're huge. Then it breaks down from there. When I got here I was working at the Flight level. My flight had about 200 people (which is pretty large for a flight) and the flight commander is a Captain.
Well our Group commander (a full bird Colonel) decided he wanted to take it upon himself to "mentor" all the new LTs in the group. There are 7 of us. Well I happen to be the first "lucky" one to spend 6-8 weeks up at the group. I was not really happy with the idea at first but I have since come to really enjoy it. I don't know that I'm learning much that will help me for tech school, but I am basically the special projects officer and am usually REALLY busy. Just yesterday I gave my first real AF briefing on an new inspection program that I am now the resident expert on. And it went really well. My Chief said it was like I had been giving briefings my whole life :) I felt good about that.
I also have a pretty nice office now.

And the group commander's exec is super awesome. He's a TSgt and I chill in his office a lot when I have nothing to do. And the vice group commander is also way chill. He's a Lt Col and helps me out a lot with all my projects and answering my questions and stuff.
Tomorrow I'm in a golf tournament with the Col. Should be a good time.

Other Things Update
So if you remember my Paris trip, I went with Ariana, who, before Paris, I didn't actually know. Well her and I ended up becoming super tight after that trip. The following weekend we went downtown just to chill and eat and stuff. We ended up chilling at this little restaurant for 5 hours. It was awesome.

Sadly, Ari was only here for the summer and went back home to Utah just a week after our Paris trip :( I'm still trying to convince her she should move back.

I still have a couple more new things of furniture to put up so you'll get another house update eventually.
