Ahhhh The Memories...

So for those of you that have seen my videos, you already know that I made one for Corinne's graduation in 2009.  Well, Kathryn graduates this year.  It is quite a bit of work to sort, scan and organize the photos for these videos... but I simply love it!  Going back and reliving my girls when they were little.  Remembering the places that we have been and the cool stuff we did.  My girls are my GREATEST accomplishment.  They impress me everyday.  Some of you know what I am talking about.  Your kids give you that same sense of pride.  I can't believe in three months Kathryn will be college bound!  Little Katie, known by me as Scooter.  So many stories come flooding back...  I will have to save them for telling my grandchildren... but not too soon eh!

Here is a link to the video I made for Corinne... I still love to watch it.  Break out the popcorn!

Peace Out...

In Good Time

Sometimes it pays to just trust that things will happen when they are supposed to.  Whether you believe in God or just are optimistic.  I happen to do both.  This week has proven a good week.  Monica and I have both been looking for jobs for my post military retirement.  Things are looking good and chugging along as they are supposed to.  We also put the house on the market this week.  The first day it was listed we had a showing and now have a couple interested.  We are very grateful.  I trust that things will fall into place as they should.  Saint Augustine said "Faith is to believe in what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe."  Amen

First Post

Well, as the title says, this is my first post.  Lots of changes going on in the King house.  The biggest one is my retirement from the Air Force.  It is kind of an emotional time.  It is almost like it is my first adult decision.  I know it isn't, but it feels like it.  I have been in the Air Force for 26 years.  It has been fun, adventurous and absolutely WONDERFUL.  I have not worked outside the Air Force with the exception of my Dad's hardware store and the restaurant in Mecosta, Michigan.  On one hand this is just one chapter closing and another opening, but on the other hand... joining the Air Force is the biggest thing I have ever done in my life.  Giving it up is weird, very weird.  We are bred to believe that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves... and it is true.  And to imagine, I will not be a part of active duty is tough.  I know I will ALWAYS be a part of the Air Force, but it will not be the same.  We have a saying that we using the Air Force.  "The only constant in the Air Force is change."  This is a big change.
