Current Status Update

Here is our latest info:

We are currently at Vance AFB in Enid, Oklahoma. However, we are anticipating a move very soon! Mike, after unfortunately going through several medical semi-crises this summer, is leaving pilot training. He has been offered a spot at AFIT (Air Force Institute of Technology) at Wright-Patterson AFB, in Dayton, Ohio. This is an awesome opportunity for him career-wise, which we realized after asking about a thousand questions. He'll be getting a Masters degree in Operations Research (wiki it, I can't quite explain it yet). School starts in August 2009.

Since the pilot training schedule is no longer in effect in our lives, we will be able to have our wedding this upcoming summer!! We are hoping hoping for June 27th to be our day, but are waiting to send out save-the-date's until we get an official 'okay' from his new squadron in Ohio. It will be (again, we hope) on the Maryland Eastern Shore. More details to follow, when we have them!

In addition to Mike getting his Masters, I (Katelyn.. I imagine I'll be doing most of the writing) am hoping to go for my masters as well. This is still much more in the planning stages than is Mike's stuff, so no official info yet, but I will be applying this spring to the University of Cincinnati's Masters in Social Work program, to start this upcoming fall.

Soooo.. we are waiting to hear from the Air Force about an official PCS date for our move to Ohio. We're assuming (as if this means anything to the AF) that we will be moving in the next few weeks, so we can be in Ohio before Christmas. This will allow us to drive back to Maryland/Delaware for a while for the holidays!
