Wishing Calvin a great school year! Hope you are all going well.❤
Thanks friend! You as well 😘
Can you please slow down Calvin Thankyou for letting us see a peak of you growing up all the best to you and your family
Thanks Samantha 🥰 crazy how fast he’s growing up.
Lived there in the mid-70's. Loved it! I'm sure things have changed, but still great! It's what you make of it, enjoy the culture.
Thanks for the info and the links!
Better map a route that has plenty of port-a-potty’s after eating Taco Bell. 😂
I’ve never had a stomach issues when eating Taco Bell. 🤷🏻♀️ neither did anyone else on the run. But none of us went for a “meat” option either 🤔
Looks like a lot of good times!
Mandy can we have a vlog catch up missing you
Sorry Samantha!! I don’t have a working computer to edit on 😭😭
This p.f. chang’s was the one my dad was a partner with and it was great i’m sry your experience was like this
Congrats Mom! Thanks for sharing.
Oh, ok. You joined the AF after you were married and what not. I thought you two met when you were both in the USAF.
Yeah no my husband joined right after we graduated high school, 12 years ago. It was just never the right time for me until now.
Nice house! That's cool you are dual income with the prices of houses in Vacaville "these days".
Are you both in the chair Force?
Yep, and neither of us do anything all day long. 🙄🤘🏼
Congratulations on your new home! Wishing you all the best and only good memories to make there. Missing Zeek. He truly was the best boy. Greetings from Garmisch, currently on vacation.
Thanks friend! 🤗 he really was the best doggo 🥹 didn’t feel right moving without him.
Congratulations on your new home! I love how you have it already feeling homey!! Love having you back and posting truly have missed you and your family!
Thank you so much 🥹🥹😍 appreciate you!
Congratulations on your new house! Its so nice and spacious. Your backyard is huge! And it looks like plenty of room for the pups! :) Have you thought about temporarily getting a shower head extension arm for the shower upstairs until you can fix it? Im sure it would really help. I had to do that for my shower because my husband is very tall. Its definitely helped us.
Thank you so much!! And thanks for still being here! 🥹 I mentioned that to Travis. I figured something like that had to exist ha ha. Thank you!
"BuuUUUUmmp"
Congratulations my friend!!!! House is beautiful!!
Thank you friend 🤭
Very nice!
congratulations on you new house!
Oh I love the house, you’ll certainly make it a wonderful home. So much storage space too. Definitely would agree with the kitchen plans, opening it out more and an island will be a good call. We have a drawer freezer too and i love mine. The potential you have for that house is huge, you can do loads with it. Zeek is such a miss but sister will settle down soon I’m sure, she’s lovely. 😊
Thank you 🥹🤗 Sister is indeed a psycho right now ha ha. But eventually she will settle down. We probably won’t be able to do the kitchen update we want for a whiiiiiile, if ever. But it would be really nice 😌
@@ProjectWink that’s the thing with houses, they are money pits but it’s yours and you have plenty of time to do the things you want to do to it. It’s still a beautiful house and you’ll make it yours fast I’m sure. 🙂
So happy for you! It is a nice house. :) Love your potential reading spot. It looks so cozy!
You can see it right?! The reading bench 😍🤗 Thank you!
You are still in the Air Force right?
Yes I am. We both are.
congrats for the new house! It looks great! Lot of space. Are you still in CA? Much love from Germany!
Thank you! Yes, still in California! Thanks for still being here 🤗
You are still in the Airforce right?
Wow love the house thankyou for sharing looking forward to all the memories and fun you will have xxxx sending lots of love from us
Thanks Sam! 😍
Love the attic rooms!
Me tooooo 😍 we think it’d be cool to finish those little under roof storage rooms 🤗
Ooooo pretty house!
Hi
Thank you for this video! Question, though: government doesn’t pay your housing expenses? I’ve been looking at overseas posts and I figured that was standard?
What housing expenses exactly? Like to move there or like monthly? What do you mean?
Great to see you... Will the time be approaching here for PCSing again. ( I've been watching for so long , Its seem about 3 yrs is the mark. ) I love seeing the whole process and being excited for your new places. You always make each place so homey and nice .
Heyyyy 🤩 unfortunately stateside we don’t have a definite move date so we could be here for another year or another 6 years. (But we will be moving soon 🤭🤫🤫)
My dad was Air Force and we lived in Ramstein in the 80s. Absolutely loved it and both my kids are planning to join the Air Force with hopes they can have experiences like I did. When I retire, I plan to go back to Europe.
Lived in this housing in 1961-1964. Building 810, C3. Best years of my life!
You need to look into traveling to TN to do the Barkley, very few people finish.....
I’ve heard and read lots about it. No shot lol. I directionally challenged and not nearly awesome enough for the Barkley Marathons.
Hey lovely!
The grass is such a pretty color!
Aw!!! What a sweet husband!
Oooo love your coffee view!
The run looked fun and super scenic! Years ago, I wanted to get into running, but my joints were so horrible. Been taking collagen supplements and hoping it'll be a gamechanger for me. You may want to get the tingling in your fingers checked out, especially if it persists. That's kinda weird. Holy freckles, batman! That's what I was thinking too. Very freckly. :P
Honestly, running is way better for your body than people speculate. It’s not hard on your knees if you’re doing it right 😅 I think it has something to do with my back/spine 🫣 but I’m not sure. Idk what happened lol.
first 👍 and then 👀
Hi
Oh my ... poor Poncho. But why didn't they call before removing the teeth? I mean, it's a bad comparison, but if I have my car at the shop, they call for every small thing if they should do it, when it wasn't agreed upon upfront .... I would have been upset with them. Well you could make a necklace out of his teeth ... to always remind him ... 🤪 .. never mind ... that was a bad joke ... Don't blame yourself. Poncho is lucky to have you! Now a bath, well I'm not so sure anymore ... 😉 And to answer your question, yes, it is gross 😆 but it triggers me more that you just let your water run ... haven't you learned anything in germany? 😄
I said the same thing to Travis actually. I compared it to a lot of things less important than sweet Panchy 😩 some of them were so small and rotten 😞 Ha ha ha ha. I knew someone was gonna say something about the water. But this faucet is the worst with temperature. Sometimes it turns back on scalding hot and it’s so frustrating. 🫠
I'm so sorry for your little dog and also sorry to see you so sad. You're right it's unusual to have such bad teeth at his age but it's not your fault. You always take great care of your dogs so well and they're lucky to have such a good family.
Thank you 😞 he’s doing just fine now but it was a punch in the gut for sure 😩
I’m sorry to hear about Poncho! I had a pug with a similar situation. No matter what I did, he had terrible teeth. I tried different foods, brushing, everything. He had many dentals and always had teeth extracted. Don’t be too hard on yourself, you take excellent care of him. Most likely, it’s genetic. Sending lots of love to you both!❤
Thanks friend 😞 I’ve come to terms with the fact that it just a little dog thing to have bad teeth 😭 but I didn’t know they were THAT bad 😕
Poor guy!!!
Seeing you sad made me all teared up! I’m sorry friend
I didn’t mean to make you sad 😕 he’s my little baby. 🥹
I get the being adventurous with food thing. I know what I like, and I want to stick with it, so there's always some internal resistance there. I want to eat healthier and try new things, so I'll feel mighty brave about it when I buy the new things, but less so when it's time to eat it. Hard not to have some waste in those situations. I don't think it's crazy at all (or dramatic) to feel bad about the Poncho situation. Sometimes we do the best that we can, but we have blind spots... things we don't know to do or keep up on. If you'd have known about Poncho's teeth being that way, you would've done something about it sooner... just like once you realized there was a problem, you were on it lickety-split. That's always been something that struck me about you is how much love you have for your dogs and how happy and well cared for they are. Poncho's post-bath drying off is super cute, btw! Random is good and interesting. I enjoyed this episode. :)
I do the exact same thing! I think I’m gonna be adventurous and make new things with it but it’s usually Travis that makes the new things ha ha ha. He’s made this Swiss chard and white bean lasagna, it was a layer of chia seeds in it. It sounded like the strangest thing but it is SOOOO good! He’s a phenomenal cook. He’s the more adventurous one for sure. I’ve always tried to brush Panchos teeth too, cause his breath stinks 🙄 and I noticed his teeth were kinda brown and yucky by the gums. But I had no idea they were like rotten 😳 that blew me away. Now we’re keeping a better eye on them and will get them cleaned professionally yearly 🥲 He gets the post bath crazies lol. Zeekie always did too. He’d get all excited for Pancho to get out of the bath so he could run around with him ha ha ha. Thanks for letting me know! I appreciate it!
@@ProjectWink Seems like he compliments you in that way! My husband is also the more adventurous one. He's been pushing me for years to try new stuff, so he's pretty happy that I finally am. That's crazy about the swiss chard and white bean lasagna with chia seeds. On paper, it doesn't sound appetizing, but hey, you don't know until you try it. I had those feels about egg wraps, but I wanted a no-flour option for my wraps, and I was surprised at how good Egglife wraps are. (Not a strong taste, holds together good, low calorie. Wowza!) So, yeah, I keep telling myself 'You won't know until you try it, so try it once!' Yeah. You ARE a good dog mom! And it could just be Poncho's genetics. We experienced this with our two human daughters. My oldest girl brushed religiously and still got a ton of cavities and needed root canals. It was ridiculous. But our boys, who take after my side of the family, didn't take as good care of their teeth and had maybe 1 or 2 cavities. O.o I still think about Zeek, especially when I watch you with your other doggos. He really was a good boy.
If you and Travis pcs together for your next assignment where do want to go back too
We will definitely PCS together - we’d like to go somewhere new, anywhere really. But we’d also go back to any of the bases we’ve been too 😌
Cool
Somebody is in blissful brushing zen
Poor baby I hope poncho feels better
Hi
Hello hello hello hello so glad to see you
I love drive-through car wash. The one in my town you have to drive your car in and then get out of it. You just can watch from the outside. The weather here isn't any better, cold and rainy. Could use a bit of sun. You are a beast for running in such a weather 😉
It felt more dumb than beast like ha ha ha. I remember that about car washes in Germany too. Or if you ran really fast you could make it back in the car before it started 😅
I’ve really missed your vlogs! I hope you all are doing well.❤
Thanks friend. We are 🥰 thanks. You too 😘
Lots of thoughts... it's always neat seeing you walk around on-base and from your perspective as active duty. Some things are so standard about bases, that they remind me of the ones I spent time at. Also, wanted to say that you're looking good, girl! I was inspired by pics of your weight loss on Instagram and have lost almost 40 lbs myself. I think that if you slept poorly, it's good to listen to your body and cut it some slack. I love how supportive Travis is of you! As for your sore throat, think maybe the air is too dry in your house? Y'all run your AC a lot? We run a humidifier in my daughter's room for that very reason and it really helps. Lastly, I just gotta say I always enjoy your cow footage! When I was a kid, my German landlady had a bunch of cows and pigs, and I really fell in love with her cows. They would come right up to me and eat apples out of my hand, and many, many, many afternoons and evenings were spent hanging out in the cow stalls. To this day, they are one of my favorite animals and I have a pic of my old landlady's cows as my wallpaper on my phone.
Most bases look the same in a sense ha ha. Thank you so much 🥰 but seriously wow! 😍 that’s so awesome! Good for you! That’s incredible! I generally try to listen to my body when pushing it to do hard things. Travis is my biggest supporter and also the voice of reason that I need! 🥹 I think the air is too dry, we’ve had the heater on and the window closed 😵 I didn’t notice the window got closed. It’s been much better since but I do have a humidifier from my tonsillectomy that I need to stop being so lazy and refill ha ha ha. Problem solved. Idk why I love cows so much. I think I really just let my love for them run wild when we moved to Germany and they were everywhere. They just make me so happy. 🥹😍 glad they bring you joy too. They’re just so special. 🥰🐄
@@ProjectWink That is something that I really miss about Germany is the cows everywhere. I get so excited when I see them here in the US, but where I live, it's not that often. They really are special. I've heard them likened to great, big puppy dogs. LOL
