An event three years (plus two taiwanese years) in the making: receiving of my class ring. The rising senior class at the Air Force Academy has long practiced the tradition of receiving their class rings at a formal military ball called "Ring Dance." I asked my sweetheart to be my guest of honor -- and get this: she said yes! So we got all fancied up and made our way to the ball.
I ended up being a lot more excited about the ring than I had originally thought, but Kylie was there to poke fun and keep me from freaking out too hard haha.
And we were happy :)
And I felt like a new, emboldened person.
And after the dance we headed up to the mountains with a group of my friends and their dates and spent the weekend at a cabin in Silverthorne, and even though it snowed we had a great time!!
Next huge Academy milestone? Receiving my AFSC (job) -- stay tuned for the early November announcement!
