This past week was a big one at the HaselBride household. I broke my promise to post – I am so sorry. Things were crazy busy and we had visitors. I thought I would have some downtime, but I was dead wrong. Either way, I am back full force with some major wedding decisions at hand.
Just wanted to fill you all in on the latest news with us and why I was so crazy busy. It was a huge week for Nick {and I}. Wednesday marked the end of the second phase of pilot training. The squadron hosted a red carpet day for families complete with tours of the flight rooms, base and simulators leading up to an evening ceremony. Of course, Nick's mom and step-father were here to join in the fun. The ceremony where the student pilots learn what plane they will be flying during phase three.
The four tracks/planes are T-38s {fighter/bomber trainer}, T-1s {cargo/heavies}, T-44s {cargo, trains in Texas with Navy} and helicopters {trains in Alabama with Army}. Each student ranks those from 1-4 and based on their performance, grades, and needs of the Air Force are give a slot in either plane. Confused yet? I know I was! Now I am practically an expert. Ha.
Nick and I in front of the T-6, the plane he's been training on since we moved here.
Nick's big dream has always been to be a pilot, specifically a fighter pilot. So we were absolutely ELATED when he was chosen for a T-38 spot along with two other pilots in his class. I am so proud of him and his accomplishments this year.
I know I don't usually post about things that aren't related to our wedding, but this is a huge step in the rest of lives, plus I wanted you all to know why I haven't been around lately.
Planning updates coming soon!
