Rachel and Major Johnson

 

Blogging Inspiration 

While I love to write, it's been a while since I've had, no taken, the time to do so.  Finally, the motivation I need to put my fingers to the keyboard has arrived!

I begin my first post with announcing (again) that my daughter, Rachel, joined the Air Force on May 31st.  I'm extremely proud of her and, even more so, I delight in the common link we now share.  

Throughout her childhood, she's been subject to tales of my Air Force antics and has sat through countless retellings (yes, I noticed the eyerolls but chose to ignore them).  Now it's different.  She's interested.  She's asking questions.  

Since Rachel was old enough to talk about a career, I've plugged the military, specifically, the Air Force.  I've always known she was college bound and I've never done anything to discourage that path but over the past year, Rachel has realized that "living on her own" is a challenging feat.  I'm just glad she discovered this while she still occupied the room above mine:)

Now she waits...for a job, for a departure date, for the next juncture in her life.  

I wait, too, to see what direction my daughter's life will take.
