Mazel tov Yoni! He passed his check ride in Colorado, so after we spent a wonderful Shabbat together in Colorado Springs last week we drove home together on Sunday. Last week was very busy. We spent a day and a half unpacking all of his stuff and getting the house in order, then Tuesday afternoon Aunt Gwennie and Aunt Neda came to visit from Kansas City. It was wonderful spending some time with them. We walked all around base (with Libby, of course), and had some good meals and card games at home.
Friday we bothed worked hard to make a nice Shabbat meal for our first week back together in our home. This week also had added significance because Friday was Yom Yerushalayim, our anniversary in the Hebrew calendar. So our Shabbat table was adorned with a dozen gorgeous roses, and a really pretty sparkly, shiny flower arrangement (Yoni said the roses were a backup in case I thought the other ones were tacky -- but they were very fun!)
We had a few guests over yesterday for lunch, then spent some good time in the afternoon talking and reading good books.
Today and tomorrow should be a nice break. We have a few things to get done throughout the day (laundry, gardening, etc.), but we're also going to make time for fun things, like doing the ten-mile bikeride around the perimeter of the flight line and taking Libby for a good long walk.
Yoni's also planning a jam session for tomorrow at our house for some of the guys in his pilot training class who also play guitar.
This Thursday, G-d willing, we plan to head to Dallas for Shavuot and stay there through Sunday, then the following Wednesday we're off to Baltimore!!
We're trying to get all the visiting and travelling done before Yoni's official pilot training begins (in mid-July) and he's stuck in Oklahoma for a year straight.
We wish everyone a chag sameach, and please be in touch :)
