Trip to the States- Aug 2008

I took a semi last minute trip home a couple weeks ago to visit family & friends. I was also able to do most of my name change stuff that I had to do in person! So I'm officially Katie Talbert now!!!

Jay had a 6 week TDY with work and part of that was done in Panama City, FL @ Tyndall AFB. I was able to go over for the weekend to break of the time apart a little. We were both very grateful for that and lucky as well. While I was there we went to a party of some friends of ours from England that just got out of the Air Force. It was great to see some friends we hadn't seen in a while too! Thanks again Roland & Tracey for a great Party!

After that weekend I went back to St. Augustine for a few days and were able to visit some girlfriends of mine from College, two of which where my bridesmaids. It was great that it all worked out to get together...unfortunately we didn't get to take any pictures! Thanks again Kelley, Cher, Becky & Trisha for getting together! It was fun...even if it was way too short!

Sally (my sister) and her kids were able to come down as well and then she, the kids & I went up to North Carolina to our family's house up there. My parents came up later and we spent 4 days up there! It was great being with you all and in Brevard.

Evan and I on our deck after a long drive up! He was taking in the sights w/ his binoculars!

Lauren and I hanging out...man that smile is great! She is crawling all over the place now and starting to loose all her baby rolls! Her 1st birthday is coming up...time sure does fly!

Mom and I eating lunch at Hobnobs, one of the many great resturants in Brevard!

We always walk around town and there is a great toy store downtown. Evan and I were watching the trains in the window!

Dad, Evan, & Sally in our "new to us" canoe. Papa got Evan his own paddle but needs to get a little taller before he can really use it! He had fun going on the boat ride none the less!

Jay flew a jet home from the states and I was able to meet him when he landed! It was a very special thing they do...especially for the families! I'm really glad to have him back in England with me!

Alicante, Spain

So Heather, Amy, & I went to Spain this weekend to get away and enjoy the sun. It was great, we did some Wedding planning for Heather and had lots of Girl Talk!

We laid on the beach...
and the Pool (and of course took part in the great Spanish Tradition...Sangria!)

and even did some Water Aerobics!
