All Things New

23 07 2010

Montana. Big skies, beautiful rivers and lakes, amazing small-town eateries, good friends and relaxing evenings. Yup, I quite like it up here! The summer has been great with wonderful weather allowing me to get out and see Glacier National Park, surrounding cities, and all sorts of other places. My jeep has been getting plenty of use and so has my motorcycle! Training started up almost right away after I got here, and they pushed me through the process just as fast as they could. So, between training sessions and rides, I was able to hang out with my friends and go check out places like the Augusta Rodeo or go camping up in the Little Belt mountains. Last week I finished up my formal missile training and just had my first alert yesterday! It’s a pretty cool job and not as bad as I originally thought it would be. Anyway, things are going really well with wedding plans also, just continuing to figure out the small details and stuff, getting ready for Jan!

This is kind of a short post due to the fact that I’m a bit tired from the 24hr alert, but nothing really really exciting has happened anyway, so just know that I’m doing really well and I’m loving life in Montana!

The Tip of the Iceberg

17 05 2010

So basically I’ve done a lot of things in the past 2-3 months, but nothing really too exciting, except for a few things that I will tell ya’ll about shortly! Since the last posting, I finished up ASBC and the training did get a little better towards the end. We played some paintball and got to interact with the enlisted personnel which was really good and I did learn a lot from that. The weather stayed great the entire time down in AL which made doing anything outside so much better because you don’t have to worry about losing half your body weight from sweating all the time! Anyway, I did have a good time with friends down there and I’m so thankful and happy that I’m finally out of AETC!! Don’t get me wrong, education is good, but I’m just so glad I can finally start doing my job.

Gas masked!

So I did graduate ASBC and Kim flew down the same day to travel with me back through Texas and Utah visiting family along the way. We spent two weeks together hanging out and it was so much fun! Driving across the country is so much more bearable when there is someone fun riding with you :) We had an amazing time spending that time together and just being able to be there for each other again. When we got to Utah, she headed back to California while I drove up to Great Falls, Montana to start in-processing. So far Great Falls has been a lot of fun and it is absolutely beautiful up here! First weekend I had, me and a buddy of mine drove around the nearby mountains and enjoyed the fresh mountain air. It was great and I’m starting to think that I might have to get into the whole 4×4 off-road stuff that I can do to my jeep…we’ll see :) On base, the people in my squadron are really cool and laid back, so I am thankful for that! So far I’m still hanging out at the Holiday Inn til I move into a house this week with 3 other guys (we kind of think it’s going to be Dude Man House II, it’s going to be great! The house even has a hot tub!) Besides that, things are going very well and I’m 235 days til I get married! I don’t care what anybody else says about it, I’m excited :)

Enjoying the wildlife...

Okay, now some thoughts of mine I was thinking about today. Why is it that the nicer the hotel you stay in and pricier the room, the less amenities you can use? Take for example a Motel 6 or something like that. You get free wi-fi, sometimes a free breakfast, a tv you can plug stuff up to plus a dvd player, and all the other basics. Now take a really really nice hotel. Yes, you have a bed that takes a ladder to climb onto, but your tv is fixed and has no dvd or plug-ins, your room has a cabinet with different drinks that you can’t use cause they cost too much, most of the time you get no breakfast, and sometimes the hotel doesn’t have internet use either. I was always under the impression that the more you pay, the more amenities you get. Ok, so the bathtub is made of marble from the Azores, but I can’t even watch a movie on the tv without paying an arm and a leg. Yep, the hotel industry has it backwards in my opinion. And for the places that give you 10 pillows in your bed, I sleep fine in a sleeping bag and using a Kevlar vest as a pillow, so I just need one pillow to sleep on thank you very much. Anywho, that is my rant for today :)
Alright, I’ve gone on long enough! I’m here in MT enjoying the sights and sounds and excited to start my tour, plus getting married in Jan! Lots of things going on, but as I said, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Enjoy the summer everybody!





Accidentally in Love

16 03 2010

Time sure flies when you’re having fun…or at least when you’re training for 100 days and don’t have much time for typing  :)   So, I guess it’s been November since last I updated, so my sincerest apologies that I haven’t been more diligent to let the outside world know what I’ve been up to!  Well I’m sure most of you know, but there is some very big news in my life….I graduated missile training!!  After almost spending a year on the central coast of California and going through grueling training most of that time, I finally became certified to work with old computers!  So that was very exciting.  But even bigger news, I GOT ENGAGED!!!!!!!!! (Don’t worry, I didn’t forget)  Yes, I have met the most incredible person in this world of 6-something billion people, and low and behold, she lived in Santa Maria :)   It all started in November, possibly right after I wrote my last blog.  She was going to school in LA and would come home for the weekends, so we’d notice each other in church and stuff.  Of course she caught my eye, but from what I recall, the first time seeing her she was sitting in the row in front of us (meaning the dudes in the Dude Man House (Dude Man Van died by the way, it was a sad day :( )) and she was sitting close to a three-star general who worked on base with us (for those of you who don’t know, it’s like if you were a burger-flipper at MacD and it was the CEO of the company sitting in front of you).  Anyway, I just thought that yes, she was beautiful, but the thought of trying to be friendly to a three-stars daughter was scary and I’ve heard way too many horror stories about lieutenants dating generals daughters that it wasn’t worth it (retarded, I know).  After seeing her a few times at church though, she started coming to lunches with the single adult group and that is when we started hitting it off.  No matter how far apart or how many other people there were at the table, we would just get zoned into our own conversations and I would have such a fun time talking with her!  We went to the Olive Garden one afternoon with the singles group and ended up staying and talking for 3 hours.  It was freaking amazing.  So, over the Christmas break, we would have conversations over Facebook (so you know it was getting serious by then) and still, I would have just so much fun writing her.  Also during that time, a mutual friend of ours had written us separate messages encouraging us to maybe seek a closer relationship with each other.  I was still fighting with myself about all of this because I only had about 2 months left in California and to me, relationships take years, not months.  But after the Christmas break, we got to see each other once or twice before our church group went on a ski trip mid-January (which as most of you know, I love skiing, so I was super excited!).  It was during this trip that I knew that I needed to at least say something to her!  So at the end of the day, after I had been teaching her how to ski and figure this whole snow thing out (she was good at it by the way), I told her that I liked her and we should hang out more (it was the only thing I could think of saying at the time).  Fortunately she reciprocated those feelings and literally, ever since that day til I left in March, we hung out every day!  And it has honestly been the best months of my life!  So we hung out for about two weeks and we finally started officially dating at the end of January.  At this point, I think we both knew that this was not just any ordinary relationship, and we knew that the other person was the one we’d been waiting for.  So, one month and 2 days from when we first started dating, I proposed to her a week before I left California for more training.  It has seriously been incredible and I can’t wait to spend my life with her!  Yep, I’m excited :)   Our wedding is scheduled to be Jan. 8, so we’ve got some time to get wedding stuff figured out and where we’re going to live in Montana.

Aaron and Kimberly!!

So, that was the big news!  I could keep going with all the fun stuff we’ve done together and how I proposed and all of that, but it would take a lot more time/space and be more of a doctorate paper!  So if you have any questions, you can just ask me :)   Besides that news, I’m currently sitting in a hotel-type room (cleaning ladies even make my bed for me :) ) and going through ASBC, which is an Air Force training course meant for brand-new second lieutenants.  I honestly feel like I’m back in my high school communications class.  Needless to say, I’m less then thrilled to be here and wish I was still back in California (I wonder why?), but I just have a few more weeks to go, then I see my love again before I head off to Montana and set up my life there.  But overall, life is pretty freakin’ awesome and I’m sorry again for not posting since last year!!  I’ll try to be better about it I swear! (Of course I said that last time too…)  Bye everybody!!!!

Life in the Fast Lane

21 11 2009

Wow, it’s been over a month and a half since I’ve last updated!  I’m terrible at updating this thing :P   It seems like forever ago that I went to Hawaii (well, at least two month).  Anyway, I’ve been keeping busy since then obviously since I haven’t updated anything.  I’ll try to give a quick overview of what’s been happening.  The family came to visit and we spent the weekend at Disneyland, started my missile training (a day late cause the base caught fire), went to San Francisco for Columbus weekend, continued training, finally moved into a room with four walls and a door, found out Tuesday Oct 20 that my dog died we think from a brain tumor, training continues with training rides starting up, went for a motorcycle ride all day Saturday (it was crazy fun!), been watching ski movies, training continues, got a Costco membership (wohoo samples!), played an alive autopsy patient for a halloween haunted house thing on base, went down to LA to participate in a Muddy Buddy race (6 miles of biking and running a course while in costume), training continues and going well, found out I can fit most my books in my backpack so I can ride my motorcycle to base everyday, lost my phone, camped out at Jalama Beach and watch some good surfers (and had an amazing burger from the cafe), got a new phone/plan, went down to LA again for Veterans day to see a taping of the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brian (it was awesome, we even made it into a shot!  We’re famous!), went down to Santa Barbara and got a suit, training continues and I got some new games for the PS3 (Modern Warfare 2 especially), and now it’s Saturday with no plans, so I’m updating the blog :)   Talk about a run-on sentence!  Anyway, I’ve been doing quite a lot of fun things (mostly on the weekends) and have been enjoying life out here.  I know I could write a long novel about each activity stated above, but that would take way too much time, both for me to write and you to read!  So I’ll spare everyone and not write anything but post some pictures (after all, pictures say a thousand words right?)

The fam at Disnayland (Alisha's taking the picture and Dad is recovering from the coasters)

Looking out my window though, it’s crazy to think that back home they are getting lots of snow while here, it’s 50 degrees (and rising) and sunny outside everyday.  It is pretty nice, but it just doesn’t feel like fall or winter!  I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is this next week and that Christmas is right on its tail.  The holiday season is here and it’s weird being away from family and close friends to spend that time with.  I will be coming home for Christmas for two weeks (hanging out with family and skiing!) and looking forward to get away from the books for awhile.  I’m very excited for that!  Also will be going down to a cousins wedding for New Years which will be a blast and then the drive back to California.  Class will start back up on my birthday actually (I’m kind of used to that by now) and I’ll get to do something really cool and finally get to wear my flight suit that day!  Anyway, that’s what’s happening out here, just training like crazy and loving life :)   I’ll try and be better about updating more often (though I’ve said that before…).  Anyway, now a short picture representation of what I’ve been up to.

Hawaii Five-O

10 10 2009

I know I know, it’s been way past due since I last wrote!  Especially since I’ve taken some cool trips lately.  But I’ve been keeping busy with class starting up, family coming to town, trying to get some budgeting stuff taken care of, etc.  So my apologies for getting this out so late :)

Since I had some time off from training for a little while, I figured I’d use that time to take some leave and have some fun.  So, from the 16-24 Sep., me and another Lt friend of mine caught a flight to Hawaii!  Needless to say, it was an incredible vacation.  We left Santa Maria Wednesday to drive up to Travis AFB near Sacramento.  When we got up to base, about 30 min from when we had to check in, we found out the long term parking structure for space-a flights was almost 2 miles away, with no shuttle service.  Yeah, it took awhile for Josh (the Lt I went with) to get back to the terminal before we went through security.  Anyway, we managed to make it onto the plane (KC-135) finally and off we went to Hawaii!  It was a 5 hour flight that was pretty cold.  We did not think at the time to pack any jackets because we were leaving California (warm) going to Hawaii (also warm), so naturally the flight would be warm.  It was not.  The aircraft has no insulation, so we stood up pretty much the whole flight to be closer to the heaters near the ceiling.  But we made it into Hickem AFB around midnight Hawaii time (3 hours ahead of California) and went to a Denny’s for dinner :)

Ok, this post will be a huge “War and Peace” novel if I don’t cut some things short.  I’ll do my best :)   The hotel we would be staying the majority of the nights would be the Hale Koa hotel (a military only hotel on the Waikiki beach, pretty sweet) and it had some very nice rooms (and a great price too!).  The first day we just spent hanging out in the water (which was so warm, I almost fell asleep in the water numerous occasions) and enjoying the beach.  Also we went and rented 50cc mopeds to get around the island on (best idea ever actually, parking was free everywhere for them and in traffic they’re a dream!).  We just hung around the Waikiki area and checked out all the shops, tried to find a burger joint that took us probably an hour to find, enjoyed the 80 degree weather riding our mopeds around, and sat in awe of the amazing sunset over the ocean that night.  It was awesome.  Then we ate at a very nice seafood restaurant and hit the sack.

A tough life in paradise.

A tough life in paradise.

Second day, Josh and I went to the beach again that morning (it’s hard not to go everyday) and climbed a few cool trees in the area (why not?). We then got on our mopeds and rode to the Diamond Head crater to hike to the top (it was a high peak that overlooked Waikiki and surrounding areas). We found out it was an old army bunker defense system and so you could see many pillboxes around the rim of the crater looking out over the ocean. The view was spectacular with the clear blue ocean beneath and the high-rise Waikiki area to the right. The hike was pretty fun (though a bit hot with the humidity) and we also met some cool people on the way back down. The rest of the day was spent hanging out again in the area and visiting the huge Ala Moana mall which had a ton of stores that I didn’t know the names of (that’s how I know they were really ritzy stores). Again, we watched the amazing sunset and enjoyed the Honolulu night life (complete with watching Sumo wrestling on the Japanese channel).

The third day found us moving hotels because the Koa was booked over the weekend, so we called some surrounding hotels and ended up staying at the Embassy Suits the next two nights.  But besides that fun escapade, me and Josh visited Pearl Harbor (apparently the biggest Japanese attraction in Hawaii).  The USS Arizona memorial was pretty awesome to witness. It was a very somber and thoughtful memorial overlooking the sunken metal ship. I really didn’t think about it before, but the Arizona is actually a grave site for the men who died during the attack. That was a pretty cool place to visit just to realize that 60+ years ago, America was fighting a whole different type of war. Anyway, it was a neat experience. After that, we heard that nearby at the Aloha Stadium there was a swap meet going on, so of course we had to check it out. Spending hours there bargaining for deals and realizing that every other booth was pretty much the same thing (wood products, towels, shirts, shells, repeat), we had a good plate lunch and went back to the hotel to relax. That night, there was a huge “Aloha Festival” that only happens once a year with all sorts of good food, fun music (reggae, luau music?, just chill music), and tons of people walking around the closed down main street. Yep, it was a lot of fun :)

Fourth day began our epic moped journey across the island to the north shore! Yes, it did take a miracle for us to fit our luggage and ourselves onto the mopeds in order for the tour de O’ahu, but we managed it and was quite the experience. Unfortunately, with only 50cc’s (not very big engine at all, think mower engine), the mopeds didn’t get us up the hills as fast as originally thought, so the time it took to make it up to the North Shore took a little bit longer than expected. After driving along some of the most beautiful coastal road I’ve ever driven, we made it to Turtle Bay resort (ok, I know that we didn’t stay two nights at the Embassy, and it’s 3 in the morning now when I’m writing this, so I don’t care to try to think back and fix it, yep, that’s it). Anyway, again we hung out in the crystal clear water of the bay and relaxed. We did eat at Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck for dinner, which is an amazing place that serves shrimp out of a truck (ironic?) so that was pretty cool.

Day Five found us sleeping in, traveling back down to Waikiki and along the way stopping by Matsumoto’s Shave Ice (best shave ice in the world, especially with a little vanilla ice in the bottom of it, so good!!!), we stopped by Turtle Beach to try and see some sea turtles come onto shore (barely missed it, saw them in the water), drove by the Dole Plantation (at a blistering 25mph going uphill on a 45mph road) and made it back to Honolulu before nightfall. It was a fun ride back down south and just an awesome time enjoying the sites and sounds of inland O’ahu. We made it back to the streets of Waikiki (like Vegas, but smaller and no casinos) and tired from the days adventures.

Best shave ice ever.  Num num num num num....

Day number six we got up early and got a ride up to the Kualoa Ranch for a tour of the place. The ranch has been the background for many famous movies and TV shows like Mighty Joe Young (never saw it), 50 First Dates, Godzilla, and most importantly (at least for the big fans out there), Lost. So we spent half the day seeing the sights, eating the native fruits, and checking out the jungle scene in the amazing mountains there. Then we caught a bus ride up (mopeds would take too long we decided) to the Polynesian Cultural Center for a luau dinner and an awesome theater performance that highlighted all the different Polynesian cultures complete with a fire spinning guy! It was pretty cool and a fun day. We were able to catch a ride back down late and caught a few hours of sleep before waking up very early to catch a bus ride back to Hickam AFB for an early flight out.

Awesome interior island mountains!

Awesome interior island mountains!

We were able to get out to Hickam early and since there were three flights leaving to Travis AFB that morning, we figured we would get on no problem. Well, due to a certain mishap and paper screw-up on my part, we were ready to board when the call came out that the flight we were scheduled on was not going to land at Travis any longer, but would take a direct flight to Nebraska. So miraculously enough, we missed all three flight out that day (all flights were within 10 min of each other, and we were supposed to be on the second one. Long story). Anyway, we were bummed, but decided to rent a car from base and head up to the North Shore again (took about 45 min instead of almost 3 hours). We were able to stop at the Dole Plantation and eat some very sweet pineapple ice cream, we got to go eat some more Matsumoto’s Shave Ice (num num num), and best part, we got to see the sea turtles come onto shore! It was absolutely incredible and those turtles are just some of the coolest creatures ever. We played around some more in the north and headed back down south and ate at a Ruth’s Chris steak house. Best steak I have ever had in my entire life bar none. Yes, it’s pricey, but soooo worth it. That’s all I have to say about that.

Awesome sea turtle catching some rays.

Awesome sea turtle catching some rays.

Well, after sleeping in the terminal that night (terminal seats aren’t very comfortable and you don’t get much sleep, especially with cockroaches and weird things crawling around), we finally caught a C-17 flight out that early morning back to Travis and got home late after a 5 hour drive. Got up for work early the next morning and happy that it was a Friday!

So, that was my amazing trip in 2,000 words or less (close though). I am heading out to San Francisco in a few hours over the 3 day weekend (Columbus Day!) and I’m sure I’ll have some fun tales when I get back :) But right now, it’s 4 in the morning and I’m going to go to bed. Please direct any questions to my email address, facebook page, cell phone, base email, or any other way of communication. Thank you for your patience. Goodmorning!

Belt

8 09 2009

As I was hiking the last mile of trail back from a weekend backpacking trip to Yosemite National Park, I got to thinking, “I wonder what the view of my life from my belt is like?” (Okay, I know it’s a weird thought, but when you’re hiking miles and miles, your mind wanders to all sorts of crazy and fun things) Then I really got to thinking. My belt has traveled everywhere with me! Everywhere that I have been, more or less, my belt has gone as well. From my high school adventures (skiing fresh powder, etc.), through my college experiences (chasing after herds of cattle on foot, etc), and even in my post-school-pre-career travels (I’m still in training, so I’ll consider myself “pre-career” so I won’t feel as old), my belt has been there through the think and thin. Always there to provide support when I needed it most and provide assistance when I least expected it to. So here is what my belt experienced this weekend (sort of, I’m not exactly sure what my belt really thinks. Probably thinks that his job is a thankless, boring job and wants to quit any day.)

The belt in action!

The belt in action!

As I was saying, this weekend was quite the adventure for my belt. Since it was Labor Day weekend, all the dudes in the Dude Man House decided to go for a backpacking trip up to the Red Woods (just keep reading, don’t freak out cause I didn’t say Yosemite) to enjoy the beauty and nature of it all. Well, when we looked up the travel time, it was going to be a 10 hour drive. Being the patient, organized leaders we are, we decided to forget that and choose a park closer that we could hike around in… like Yosemite (see? I told you it gets better!). So, we planned and prepared for this epic trip as a whole mongrel family. Got the permits and everything. But we also found out that due to fires (remember, California burns every summer), we would have to take the long route around the backside of the park in order to get to our trailhead. So instead of having a 5-6 hour drive like we originally thought, it was going to end up being… a 9-10 hour drive (yup, we thought so too). My belt was perplexed, but was determined that we would still go on a great backpacking trip.

The house packed up after figuring out how to get to Yosemite and after running around shops trying to get supplies in order to survive the weekend, the Dudes all made the drive to Lee Vining (just outside the park). A great breakfast and awesome motel started off the trip to the beginning of the trailhead. With spirits high, we began hiking down the trail when almost literally two minutes into the hike, we come upon a bear! We were about 20 feet from the thing and we really couldn’t decide if we should shout and make tons of noise like the rangers had told us to do, or to take pictures with the creature. Being the men we were, heck yeah we took pictures! So, after the quick run-up-and-get-a-picture-then-turn-around-and-make-sure-the-bear-wasn’t-charging-at-us ordeal, we whooped and hollered and the thing ran off. Score! My belt was proud of us all and we felt like we could take on the world. Anyway, we got semi-lost on the trail that day as well and it took us almost 2 hours to maneuver 1.5 miles. But, we still made camp in good time and were ready for the hike to El Capitan the next day!

View during lunch break.

Next day, with backpacks off, we made great time when we made it to the top of El Capitan. Now, from the top of the cliff, it is a whole different view. Not only could we see the whole Yosemite Valley below us, we couldn’t see the actual cliff of El Cap because the incline down to the actual drop off was too steep and too far away to reach in a reasonable amount of time. But the fact that we made it there was worth it and the view was amazing as well. We then hiked back and took a quick detour to a lookout called Eagle Peak, which is a good thing we did. That view was absolutely stunning. You could really see the entire valley extremely well with Half Dome ominously looming in the East of the Valley and the backside of El Capitan in the West. Talk about a feeling of humility! To think that the creation was drawn by God and this “drawing” was swallowing us whole. Absolutely incredible. Anyway, since the hike in took so long the day before, the dudes decided to pack up camp and hike til dusk so the hike in the morning wouldn’t be as long. When we stopped for camp that night, we had hiked over 13 miles and our bodies were tired. The fire and backpacker food tasted so very good that night.

We got up and started off early enough so we could get some breakfast in town instead of eating oatmeal again (I objected, but majority rules). The hike back was nice and cool and quite, a perfect time to reflect back on what we had seen and done the two days before. We had almost reached our cars again when the dudes ran into another bear! This one was actually in the brush that the dudes heard, so we tried to run around trying to get a good look at it to no avail (when you scare off one bear, all the rest should be just as easy right?). But we made it back to the cars just fine and had a long but relaxing drive back to the house.

The Dude Man Rally Van!

The Dude Man Rally Van!

The trip was so awesome and so many stories can be told that it would take a novel to write out all of them (and this blog is almost that! It’s getting out of hand!) Needless to say that the trip was awesome and yet again, my belt kept at my side, holding my camera and giving me a sense of comforting support, letting me know that the last thing I need to worry about are my pants falling off.
So thank you belt for your long years of service. I salute you!

The Ants Go Marching

30 08 2009

two by two, ten by ten, thousands by thousands… Yeah, we have an ant problem at the house. It started in the pantry where one morning we opened up the door and found the top shelf covered (and I mean covered) with ants. So, we pulled out all the food and sprayed ant killer down. Worked great. But then the ants started showing up on the counter tops, coming out of the wall socket, climbing in our garbage cans outside, just everywhere in our kitchen. We did call an exterminator to come out on Monday, so hopefully we’ll have some food left by the time he comes and (keeping fingers crossed) kills them all. I had no idea that ants were that much of a problem before, I guess I’ve just never lived in an area where ants where much of a problem inside the house. Anywho, hopefully that will get cleared up soon.
In other news, I still don’t have a job! Well ok, I do, it consists of me going to base and signing in at 8 in the morning, then getting back on my bike and riding home. That is my job. Since there are so many Lt’s waiting for the missile IQT class to start up, there aren’t enough jobs for us to do. So I count my blessings and have decided to use this time to really kick my butt into gear with reading books, playing guitar, working out, playing outside, etc. I know this month will go by much quicker then I want it to, so I need to really put my nose to the grindstone and get playing! Also, I actually did get my guitar back! I know I said before that my guitar was coming home a few weeks ago, but what I found out was that they found a bad bend in the neck of the guitar, so they had to work on that for a week or two. So finally yesterday, I officially picked up my guitar. And I picked up another one too. Why you ask? Because in order to really bring the Ovation into good playing order, it would cost me a lot more money. So instead of keep putting money into it, I just figured I’d get a new guitar that played amazing and will be much easier to learn on then the old one. So yes, maybe a bit extreme, but playing the new one feels so much better and the thing practically plays itself, so I’m excited to start playing again :)
My tapestries should also be coming in this week. I got them to use as a divider for my livingroom space, because I’m still exposed to anything and everything that walks by. So, I’ll be glad to get a little something up for a little privacy. Besides, the tapestries that I got are awesome and all tie-dye/reggae stuff, so should be pretty sweet to see those up. Well, that is my update, until next time…
