Fall Harvest Ball

Garet and I went to the ROTC fall ball last night. We had so much fun. Garet does color guard but I couldnt get pictures of that obvioulsy, next time he does color guard I will get pictures, but here is one picture of Garet and I.

Halloween

Now you stay classy San Diego!!

Halloween we were at my sisters house. I was Marilyn Monroe and Garet was Ron Burgandy from Anchorman. Garet likes to call me his latina Marilyn.

Pumpkin Carving

Garet and I decided to carve pumpkins this year for Halloween. We did it 2 days after Garet got his wisdom teeth out so he is a bit swollen in soem of these and it was also pretty late. Hope you enjoy these.

Air show

So Garet and I try and hit an air show once a year. Last year was Reno and this year we went to Idaho to the Mountain Home Air Force Base. We had so much fun. Garet had governors day for army that day in the morning and than we came home and grabbed our bags and left for Idaho. I love taking road trips when its just me and Garet. We listen to talks on cd or books or dont listen to anything at all, just talk and enjoy each others company. One of the really cool things while we were in Idaho was that Garet and I started to talk to one of the pilots of the F-22 Raptor, CPT Patrick Williams is the youngest pilot to fly the F-22. The thunderbirds were there to do their demonstration and that is always amazing to watch. Also the Idago Guard was there and had the Apache Helicopter do there demonstration too. That was cool but it would have been better if it were Garets apache's doing it but maybe we can try and get one next year at Hill Air Force.
