On December 21, 2010, Derek was commissioned as an officer in the Air Force. This was a big day for us. He has worked really hard to get to this point, and now we have so many more years of hard work ahead of us. Derek will have his first choice of residencies as an air force residency, which we will more than likely do, and then he will have 4 years of active duty and 4 years of inactive duty. This all begins when he is done with medical school.
On May 31, 2011 he will go for officer's training in Alabama for 5 weeks. This will be the longest he will be away and the first of many experiences of having him away from us. I know this is what Heavenly Father wants for our family. I'm so full of emotions. I'm so grateful to Derek for wanting to serve our country. Grateful he is doing this for our family so we won't have as much "financial" debt from medical school. So nervous to have him away for so long. And just happy that we have reached another huge point in our lives. I am excited to see where this brings our family, and I know with Heavenly Father guiding us that we are doing what we are suppose to, so we will be taken care of.
