Snakes on a Helicopter…….

Yesterday I went to the wedding of a couple of friends from High School. I graduated with Sharon and my brother graduated with John so it was a family event since we all knew both sides. The wedding was at 1pm so I knew that I wouldn’t have the chance to talk to the boy unless he got on a lot earlier in the day than normal so I told him to just send me an email and go to bed early. He said he could do that and sure enough as we were leaving the wedding I saw I had an email so I checked it (I fully understand why they call blackberries Crackberries!) and my reaction to the email went a little something like this…

1. GASP

2. OMG

3. Read it again.

4. OMG again

5. Full body shiver of ewwwww Oh Em Ge!!!

6. Laughter, lots of laughter.

This was the email.

(Troop Member) put his flight gear on this morning in the dark and strapped into the aircraft with a Saw-Toothed Viper perched on his magazine pouch by his neck.  Read that one more time for me.  Okay, one MORE time.  You can't make up stories like that.

OMG, I would've destroyed that aircraft getting out of it.  Can you even imagine?

I love this place so much, I think I'll ask to stay for another year...

Love you Doll!
Your now-even-more-paranoid-than-EVER DH.

P.S. - Read that ONE MORE TIME...

I imagine your reaction was similar, right? Now what I want to know is HOW did he find out a snake was mere inches from his neck and HOW did he get it off of him??? So I handle stressful situations beautifully (just ask the boy) so I would have A. crashed and died right then if flying or B. sat in the aircraft completely frozen except for my mouth screaming  hysterically OMG GET IT OFF OF ME I’M GOING TO DIE OMG GET IT OFFFFFFFFF and the snake would have promptly bitten me just so I would shut up. People would probably then thank said snake for shutting me up. See, I handle stress beautifully. This is why Nicholas is a pilot and I’m a stay at home wife.

 

But back to the wedding… I had a great time seeing friends from high school and family friends that I haven’t seen in more years than I can count! This is what I love about small towns, you know people. And you’ve known these people forever. I saw the parents of a girl I was good friends with in HS and got to catch up on how she was doing and find out she had a baby (It’s getting to the point we are some of the few left without a kid or 2 already! SO weird, we are WAY too young for kids! lol) Sometimes living so far from home I feel really isolated from all my friends and family. It was wonderful to actually be home and get to go to something and be a part of it instead of seeing pictures on facebook a few day later.

A few pics….

My dad doesn’t really do so well with letting you know when he’s taking the picture so the beautiful bride wasn’t smiling. When daddy has the camera just smile the whole time. lol
