Recruiting and Retention Ball

Well the Recruiting and Retention Battalion had their Ball on Saturday night...and me and Channie got all spiffied up and went and painted the town. Here are some of the highlights of the night.

Mt Home Airshow

Well we went to the airshow today - the Air Force Thunderbirds were flying today...a long with a lot of other awesome pilots...including a few of my Apache and Blackhawk buddies. I thought I would share a few pictures with you all. Hope you enjoy.

Its an awesome sight to see some of the nations most powerful aircraft and also then to see the pilots of those aircraft, some young kids...22 - 25 years old...and they are trusted to do the work of flying these machines. Makes me happy to see that there is still some hope for the rising generation!

Dogs.....

K I've officially lost my patience with our pup named Scoobie Doo.
Actually her name is Daisy...and shes a Cha-Wiener dog. She growled at me today after I sent her to the kennel...so I was like bad Daisy...she then growled even worse...so again I gave her the bad dog but this time she came out the kennel after me...of course I have the I am bigger than you complex and I reach in the kennel and snatch her out as she cowered back in. And she bites my finger and I wrench her out of the kennel and place her on the ground and basically wanted to strangle her...but I didn't. At anyrate...between the episodes of bad potty spots and now this biting me...I think I'm officially at the last straw with her. So if anyone out there is a pet lover and would like to get their hands on a Cha-Wiener dog, with an attitude....well she is free for the taking. (Kennel, dog food, and all other accessories included)

Joy of Exercise!

You ever just look at yourself and think I really need to do something with myself....

Well you are not alone that's for sure!

I have been in the military since I was 24, and during that time I have reached a peak of high physical fitness...that was when I first entered service...well here I am now 30 and thinking to myself...there is no reason I shouldn't be able to feel close to what I was in my senior year of high school..or my first years of college. I'm in the military access to a great gym...I've started running 3-5 miles every day...and you know something...I have been at this most of the summer...problem is like everyone else I suck at eating! So I keep hitting the streets and the gym...and hopefully the diet will fall into place as necessary...its mainly feeling good about yourself..remember that. Now I'm about to drip sweat on the keyboard...I should go shower. Flex..Flex...flex..

New Friends yet Old Friends

I just have come across some old friends/acquaintances from high school and you visiting this little blog of the Burgan clan, made me really grateful for out wonderful lives and and the goodness that we have. We truly are blessed with wonderful spouses, cute kids that make life so so special, and most importantly a Heavenly Father that loves each one us and wants our families to succeed and return to him. I appreciate the little walk through the past, present, and future for the past few minutes while looking at your blogs, and I hope that I continue to stay in contact with many of you for years to come.
