Maybe you've heard the jets.


If you live in Davis or Weber County you know what I mean.  


Yet another AWESOME free event. 

This is my dad back in the day when he flew the F-16.  He wore Ray Bans before Tom Cruise.


I know. It's pretty cool.  I was pretty young when he was flying at supers sonic speeds through the air, but I still remember getting to watch him land.  


I remember his last flight in the F-117, we got to ride out on the runway in an Air Force truck and put these cool little ear plugs in our ears...

So maybe it's just sweet memories or maybe because this show is just as cool as any Top Gun movie. (Which my dad also went to Top Gun School.) Go and support the Air Force!

Wreck this Journal


You may recall my friend Annie Johnson.
Annie and I lived next door to each other in Alamogordo, New Mexico, many moons ago.
We met in first grade and then I moved away in 4th grade but it's crazy how sometimes you just connect to certain people.   Her family was also in the Air Force, but she moved around like crazy, and my dad retired so we moved back to Utah.  I even remember driving away in the gray suburban waving good bye.  Sniff.  
   
They had four kids, we had four kids, all about the same age.  Anyways, we have been been writing letters (actual letters you see), flying to visit and talking on the phone through the latter years.  Whenever we get together, we don't miss a beat!  
Many funny memories, I even let her Nair my eyebrows once in like 7th grade...yes, it went badly, but we laughed the whole time...I think.  I will have to find that photo, sadly there is proof.
  The Han showed me WRECK THIS JOURNAL couple years ago.  This year I decided to buy Annie a copy so we could blog/write about our funny experiences...because there are some super awkward things in this book.
