I heard someone once say that we are born into a family and are sort of chosen by them, but friends are the family we choose on our own. Throughout my time in the Air Force (11.5 years), I have had such a pleasure meeting and enjoying the friendships of so many. I can't say that I've kept in touch on an everyday basis with everyone, but it seems that when we catch up again, it's as if time stood still....and we pick up right where we left off. So here's a shout out to some of my fabulous friends! I love you all and miss you all so much! Thanks for being there for me when I needed you. Thanks for lending a shoulder when I needed one to cry on. Thanks for listening to my whiny, bellyaching when things weren't going my way. Thanks for the advice you've given me. But most of all thank you for being you! I will never forget you and I hope that I can repay you for all that you've done for me!

Huey and Me on my wedding day!
