11/30/08: Justin is off on his first deployment. I will post updates and such here.
10/25/08: Can't believe it has been so long since I have posted on our site. Justin found out
what squadron he is going to, it is VP-8 in Brunswick, ME. Since BRAC is closing
NASB and his squadron is deploying soon there is no sense in my moving up there.
Once the squadron deploys they will plan to return to NAS Jax for homecoming.
02/01/08: HOME AT LAST!!!! We arrived back in Jacksonville today. We will be making
renovations to my granny's house so we can live in it. Justin doesn't have to
report to VP-30 until March, so he has lots of time on his hands and as of right now
I have no job.
01/25/08: FINALLY!!! The day Justin has been waiting for the last several years. He earned
his Wings of Gold today! We had a meet and greet with VT-35's CO & XO in the
morning. Then we got to go over to the sim building and "fly" the planes. Haley & I
were able to land successfully...but Gay & Gary were not so fortunate!! At 4pm we
finally were able to go over to the Bay Club for the winging ceremony. It was very
exciting and everyone is so proud of Justin!
01/22/08: It is customary for the winging class to leave a picture for the squadron. Here are
a few of the pictures that Justin's class took.
01/14/08: When we woke us at Aunt Cecile & Uncle Fran's house there was lots of snow!! So
much snow that we could make a snowman! Justin assured me he wasn't helping,
so Aunt Cecile called Jimmy's 2 youngest girls over to teach me how. Justin was
quick to show us what we were doing wrong & the girls said it was the biggest
snow man they had ever made! It was lots of fun...he even got some extra buttons!
Check it out!
01/13/08: Justin and I went to visit Uncle Fran & Aunt Cecile in Rhode Island. Aunt Cecile
made pasta with sausage and a really great dessert!
01/12/08: The Jags won at Pittsburgh, so we followed them to New England again. We didn't
have the best of luck against the patriots! But we had a great time! You can see
our tailgating pictures here.
01/05/08: WOW!! Has it really been a year since I have updated the website? Justin & I have
been super busy with all of his training & what not. He is finished and we have
been able to relax a little. We spent this weekend in Pittsburgh, PA watching the
Steelers and Jaguars game. Man, what a feeling to beat the Steelers for a 2nd time
in 20 days in their stadium!! Check it out.
01/06/07: We have a new addition to our family! See here.
01/04/07: Justin did his parachute training today. They call it "redneck parasailing" as a joke.
They go out to a small grassy airfield in Alabama used mainly for skydiving and are
pulled around by a truck. It was fun to watch, but I am not sure that I want to be on
the other end of that (200 feet in the air dangling from a parachute!). You will have
to have the password to see these pictures. If you don't have it please e-mail me if
you are interested, but know that it is imperative that you not share it with ANYONE.
It's a military thing!! Check it out.
12/29/06: Gay & Gary came to visit. Ken, Gary's brother, & his girfriend Becky also came to
visit. We had a great time at McGuire's Irish Pub...where as you can see in the
pictures we all kissed the moose!! pictures are here
12/21/06: We took Haley to Disney & Epcot & Animal Kingdom for a pre Christmas Christmas
present. We had lots of fun & I think she did too. Check it out.
11/05/06: We took Haley to her first Jaguar game. Jags win against Tennessee 37-7. Check
out the pics here (scroll down to the date).
10/19/06: Justin found out this morning he will be classing up on November 3!!!!! That means
Justin's days of golf & the beach are OVER!!! Not that he didn't deserve a
break...but a 4 month break was a little unnecessary!!
10/14/06: Justin & I went to San Francisco for a few days. It was so much fun. See the
pictures here.
10/07/06: So we decided since I was not working & Justin hasn't started school yet we would
go to his family reunion. Got to see lots of his family. Had breakfast with his mom &
Gary. I'll try to get pictures of the items Gay had framed for Justin to match the
other items he has. They came out really nice. He is really excited about hanging
them on the wall.
07/17/06: My mom and Haley came to visit while Justin took a last minute trip to Texas to visit
his family. We went to the Zoo in Gulf Breeze, shopping in Foley & Destin & Haley
spent lots of time with her Uncle Justin at the beach & the Air Museum!
07/10/06: Katie & Will came for a visit. We saw the Blue Angels while they were here. It was
a blast. We also went to McGuire's. We tried out a seafood restaurant, but it wasn't
very good. So bad I can't remember the name!!
07/06/06: We have officially relocated to Pensacola. We are renting a house & I will start
work tomorrow. We decided not to buy at house at this time because we aren't
sure of the neighborhoods and such.
05/07/06: Justin got a new truck! Goodbye to no AC!!
05/05/06: Justin started his first flight lesson today. Check it out!
04/29/06: Justin was so surprised by his party I threw for him. Again, I don't have all of the
pictures & they aren't very organized, but if you just want to take a quick look at
what I have so far. Here they are.
04/28/06: Justin finally got commissioned & graduated today. I haven't had a chance to get
everyone's pictures, and in light of trying to upload them quickly haven't had a
chance to add comments to all of them. I will work on that this weekend, so stop
back by! For the time being you can check out the commissioning & graduation
with these links!
03/18/06: We left on our cruise today with Luke & Tracey & Will & Katie. We drove down to
Tampa to the port and the ship left at 4:30. We went on Carnival's ship the
Inspiration. Check out our pictures here.
01/08/06: It was snowing when we woke up in Foxboro this morning!! Our flight didn't leave
until 5:20pm. & we were able to spend some time with Aunt Cecile & Uncle Fran.
We even got to meet Aunt Irene's daughter (my 2nd cousin) Elaine. We had a great
visit and were able to catch up. Last time we visited was in 2003. Hopefully we
won't go so long without a visit. Justin & I would like to get back to the New
England area for a short vacation and be able to meet more of my dad's side of the
family.
01/07/06: The game wasn't until 8pm, we started a tailgate party with some other Jags fans
from home around 4. We all met up on the message board. It was really a lot of
fun. I ran into someone who went to high school with me, we met a guy who works
for the company that designs the weapons systems on the type of submarines
Justin was on, ran into a franchisee of a Zaxby's (the account I used to work on at
St. John & Partners. It really is a small world! We tailgated with an old neighbor too!
01/06/06: Justin & I flew up to New England to watch the Jaguars in their first playoff game
since 1999 against the New England Patriots.
12/25/05: We spent Christmas at my dad's house. This could be our last Christmas all
together. Angela & Eric are moving to Oregon next year & Justin & I will be moving
to Pensacola.
12/15/05: We took Haley (my niece) to Disney for her first time today. She had a blast...
12/09/05: We had a holiday "game nite" party at the apartment recently. Everyone brought a
gift & we did a Chinese gift exchange. We all ended up with a nice gift to take
home. Party pics here...
12/05/05: St. John & Partners Advertising & Public Relations Annual client Christmas party.
We had our Christmas party at Epping Forest Yacht Club this year. This party is
much more tame than our annual staff only party to be held on December 19th at
Dave & Busters...
12/03/05: Danielle turns 25! Party pics here...
11/19/05: We went to St. Augustine with Ryan and Tara to watch the city kick off the nights of
lights celebration. It was pretty funny...the crowd counted down, they flipped the
switch & then nothing! On the second try it was a bit better. Hopefully they have it
worked out by now!
11/01/05: In preparation for our move to Pensacola we have sold our first home. It was a
tough decision to make. We made some money on it, so I suppose all in all we
made the right decision. We worked with Mike Calhoun of Watson Realty Corp. He
came highly recommended by Mike Calhoun (Jr.) a longtime friend of mine. We
moved into 54 Magnolia off of Touchton Road on Jacksonville's Southside. BIG
MISTAKE. E-mail me for a reference on this apartment complex. I have a very long
laundry list of why you SHOULDN'T bother!! Or better yet...you can view it by
clicking (zipped file) here.
10/7/05: Caudle family reunion is held in Texarkana, AR.
5/14/05: Newly graduates with his Bachelor's in Science in Architecture from University of
Texas at Arlington.
5/07/05: We raced in the Mug Race on our friend's, Gaylynn & Dale Isenhoff's, sailboat,
Island Time. I had never been sailing before, but Justin had. I was officially named
"Beer Bitch" as part of the crew! There was NO wind, but we had a blast being out
on the water with Gaylynn, Dale & their two daughters, Kelly & Stacey. We rounded
this big yellow bouey (I think that may have been halfway) after 6 or 7 hours & then
we quit. We went back to the Rudder Club & drank the rest of the evening!
3/23/05: Justin, mom & I took Haley to Seaworld.
12/25/04: Bob was here for Christmas...we spent Christmas at my parents house. Jimmy gave

the New England area from FL...it's a long way!!

6/1/03: Justin had to report to the War College in Rhode Island for NSI, also known as
"Knife & Fork" school by June 1. He was to be there until August 1, 2003. My
grandmother was in Hospice's care & she passed away on 6/3/03. No sooner did
Justin get to RI & get checked in did he have to get on a plane and come home for a
few days.
4/25/03: Since Justin is prior enlisted the officer's program he was picked up for is called
STA-21. My mom works at the dental clinic on NAS Jacksonville in Hanger 1000 &
she received the list. She called to tell me Justin had made it & even pre-selected
pilot option. He was out on the boat, so I sent him an e-mail hoping that he had
already heard the news as well!! I was so excited for him!
8/17/02: We got married today!! See pictures here...
