About Me

Hey, this is Kaitlin and I am a young wife who is learning a ton about marriage, life and living for the Lord. I have been learning so much about so many different things this past year that I have decided to blog as a way to share with others what God is doing in my life.

California Here We Come!

These past few weeks have been very busy for us so I have had little time to to blog. But tonight I am sneaking away for a bit and finally updating this bad boy! Mike got winged two weeks ago, on May 11th! The day we were so anxiously awaiting came and left so quickly. It was amazing though and worth every long day, short night and sacrifice. I am soooooooo proud of Mike and what he has accomplished all while seeking the Lord first, loving and leading me and pushing hard. We were blessed to celebrate with family and close friends. I have to admit, I was actually pretty emotional at times. I just couldn't believe that we were here at this point. Flight school and becoming a pilot was always something in the future but that weel it became a reality. And so is deploying now. But, the Lord helped me come to face my fears and worries and learn how to accept them while continually handing them to him. It's definitely more of a daily thing than a one time thing. Knowing we are moving to CA definitely helped lighten the mood! We are SO stoked to be out there will family and tons of friends, mentors and In and Out! Yay! Ok ok : )
After the first winging we got to repeat it again in Norfolk VA, instead only I came this time. But it was still fun to relive the moment! We also decided to be hipster like and buy an Ipad! It's so much fun! Now I can do my school work more often...not!


We took the train from Norfolk to DC for a little vacation and an early one year anniversary. We love DC! There is always so much to do and we took advantage of this by going to a jazz club, the air and space museum, free shows, and an amazing steak house. This all included a lot of walking and riding the metro. Which I love!
After all this traveling we left for home. But the fun continued! I got to host my first ever baby shower for an amazing friend/mentor of mine. It was such a blessing to be around so many Godly moms and their beautiful babies. It was also good practice for the far future : )
Phew! We had a lot going on and still do! We are officially moving to CA on June 26th, but will be leaving this Friday for 10 days of housing hunting leave. Stay tune for the road trip updates!
