Also, a lot of mustaches have been out and about lately. So some of you may or may not know, but March is also known as Mustache March, and the Air Force community takes this very ... very ... very seriously. Not only does the Air Force community take this very seriously but Alex takes it very .... very ... very ... very seriously. Other guys take this month as an excuse to attempt to grow a mustache so that they can creepily leer at ... pretty much anyone. Not Alex. When it comes to growing facial hair, Alex is a champ.
Remember this?
Who could forget? Below is a picture of Alex from Mustache March, last year, about a week in.
And this is from this month, 12 days after he started growing his 'stache. Yeah 12 days.
I will be sure to get some pictures of Alex at the end of the month, and this is a promise I can keep because his graduation is at the end of the month, and he intends to keep it until April 1. Yeah. The weirdest thing is that I forget that it is unusual for someone Alex's age to have a mustache, especially because I spend most days going on base where a healthy majority of men are sporting caterpillars above their lips, and occasionally we'll bet out, maybe to a nice dinner, and I'll suddenly remember, and I'll think to myself - "We must be quite the unusual sight".
The things we do for love.
On to business. It appears that Alex will be expected in Minot the beginning of June, and so I am planning for my trip back home. My good friend Shannon will be accompanying me on my trip back home and we are really excited to be visiting some national parks as it will coincide with free national park days! So yes, I will be coming home some time in April, and there I will stay, give or take a few days, until they can find us a house up north.
That's all I got for now, check back for those pictures of Alex at the end of the month!
