A Kuebler Update


Since Brian is serving in the Marine Corps nothing stays constant for us, and probably won't for several years. So I wanted to dedicate a post to what is going on in our lives and what it to come, for those interested!
Brian is currently in training at The Basic School here in Quantico, Virginia and has been since October. But his time here is coming to end, which we are both excited about. Brian is excited to begin training for what he has always wanted to do...be a pilot. Brian graduates from TBS on May 14th and we are both so ready! This has been a hard 6 months for both of us. Brian is gone a lot due to training and when he is home he usually has studying to do. So as you can imagine we are counting down the days to his graduation! After graduation Brian will start IFS which is the beginning of his flight school training. Most likely we will be staying in Va for him to complete this part of his flight school. During IFS he will be flying for a few hours a day, which means he will be happy because he is finally getting to do what he loves, and I will be happy because he will be home more often! After Brian completes IFS, which should be sometime around the beginning of July, we will be moving to Pensicola, Florida. In Florida Brian will begin his 2 years of flight school. We are only guaranteed to spend one year in Florida and then we will see where God puts us from there.
This has definately been an amazing journey for the both of us and we are just getting started. We have both realized that all you can do is rely on God and trust Him with your uncertainties, because there are a lot! We are looking forward to moving to Florida and seeing what God has in store for us there! We trully are blessed to have each other and our wonderful families for support.

My Trip Home to Texas

A few weeks ago I was able to fly home and see my family for a week because Brian was in the field. I was really excited to go home and see everyone I had missed so much! I was able to spend a lot of time with my family and of course my little neice, Gracie. While I was home I was able to eat some good Mexican food, which is lacking up here in Virginia, and hang out with my friend Dre. Thanks for going to Rosas with me! I also got to visit my cousin Jennifer and her twin baby boys. I really enjoyed visiting with her and helping her take care of her sweet boys! I also spent a few days in Lubbock visiting a couple of my best friends from college. It was fun to see how much Lubbock has already changed since last year when I left. I miss Emily and Candice so much so it was great to spend a couple of days with them! I also got to spend some time with my sister, which I never take for granted, because it doesn't happen too often with her busy schedule! My trip was so much fun but I was ready to come back to Virginia to see Brian. Here are some pics from the highlights of my trip!



What a sweet little family!

Baltimore, MD Aquarium

During our trip to the Outer Banks I saw a dolphin jump out of the Atlantic Ocean. Being from Texas, this was the first time I had ever seen a dolphin in the wild...it was the highlight of the trip for me...but for Brian not so much! It was shortly there after that I found out that Brian had never seen a dolphin in real life before. I couldn't believe it so I had to figure out some way for Brian to see a dolphin for the first time! So I planned a trip for the two of us to go to the Baltimore Aquarium and see the dolphin show. HAHA! I think we were probably more excited about seeing the dolphins then most of the little kids at the Aquarium. Anyways, Baltimore was definately an interesting place and there was lots to see. They had a old submarine you could tour and also one of the ships from Pearl Harbor. We spent most of our time at the aquarium and would love to go back when we have more time to see all of the other cool things in Baltimore. Of course our favorite part of the aquarium was the dolphin show, but we also enjoyed the massive sting rays and the sharks! Enjoy the pictures!




This was one of the biggest Sting Rays, I couldn't fit the whole thing in one shot!
