Terrors of the Sky...

This last Saturday, September 12th, Robert's brother and sister-in-law (Josh & Sarah) as well as the two of us ventured out to the Sacramento Airshow. We met up and took lightrail in for free! It was Robert's first ride so we had a lot of fun. Little did I know how excitement was to come. With their father being in the Air Force for 8 years, I believe, Robert & Josh grew up dreaming of planes and their "awesomeness".


If you want to see grown men act like six-year-olds again.....go to an Airshow!
Don 't get me wrong, these planes were amazing! Like nothing I've ever seen before! BUT to see a plane blast by men jump up and down exchange multi high-fives was priceless.

It was so fun to see Robert get so excited. I had no idea he knew SO MUCH about planes until we walked 10 more feet, saw another plane and he started telling me all of its best attributes and all of the P,B,F, 52, 22, 16, etc. It was crazy, but SO much fun!
I had a blast not only watc hing all these loud planes go by but I LOVED testing out my zoom!! these planes were moving so fast and so high but I think i got some great shots I wanted to share!
These performers were called "Wing Walkers". It was a girl that climbed up on the wing during flight and had no parachute or any safey equipment except for a simple lap belt.
In this picture she went by doing a headstand.

In this picture she is sideways with one leg hooked on the bar.
Upside down...with only a lap belt!
Standing and waving.
These guys were called the Patriots. Apparently there are only 30 of these in the world, so it was very rare and exciting that we got to see a B-2 Stealth Bomber.


This was a tribute to how far we have progressed with our U.S. Fighter Planes


This is the newest and best fighter plane yet. It's called an F-22 Raptor and it was remarkable to watch!






This picture below was a demonstration of what it would look like to open the bomb doors.


Here is one of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds in a steep climb. These pilots had some amazing tricks!!




They also had older and larger planes around to go look at, and some you could even go inside!





Here are more pictures of the Thunderbirds who are the main spotlight. As you can see, there are 4 flying one way, and a fifth flying in between the opposite way.

Here's a video of all 5 doing a perfect loop.

This is called....INSANE!

Husbands....

I have to say that I have


THE best,


ABSOLUTELY wonderful,




MOST thoughtful husband ever!!!!



I started school back up this last Monday and my schedule is C-R-A-Z-Y!! I get up at 6am, leave at 6:30 to make it to work by 7am. Then I work until 4pm just to drive to CSUS to make it to classes which last back to back until 8:20pm. THEN I get to enjoy a 30 minute drive home to my HANDSOME HANDSOME....did I mention HANDSOME husband!!!!

Needless to say I was a little stressed and nervous at the start of this week. I've really been worried about doing all my school work as well as keeping up the simple things around the house.

The first day of school, I find a little red lunch box in the fridge that says "For My Love". Robert had packed me lunch and dinner to help me last through the day. Let me tell you.....if you want an AWESOME lunch have Robert make it!

The next day I come home to a COMPLETELY cleaned house. Laundry folded & put away. Dishes done and in cupboards. NOTHING on the floor. A MADE BED!!! I was so completely surprised! Not to mention that he had already made a lunch for the very next day for me.

Robert is so caring and selfless. He loves me more than anyone else does.....and the best part is he shows it in his actions.

I wouldn't trade my honey for anything else in the world.
