A Glimpse Into My Life

Visiting Texas Tulips

Hello everyone, my name is Adriana and I am a coffee addict. I am a Communication Major at the University of Oklahoma (obviously). What I like most about my major is how diverse it can be. I love that I have options and am able to do what I want with my major because it is applicable in so many ways. I am graduating this May and could not be more excited. I recently accepted a position with an awesome company that allows for me to relocate back to Dallas. My family is in Dallas, so this was such exciting news that I still have not shared, but will tell them here soon.

Speaking of travel, I love to do it. My boyfriend and I travel quite often with the Air Force. During Spring Break or our summers, we always ask for orders and are so blessed to be sent to awesome places. This past year we went to Florida, North Dakota, California, Virginia, and Alaska. While we did have to work, we were able to spend quality time at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and even go hiking in Fairbanks, Alaska. We have a tradition of taking Polaroid photos wherever we go and then hang them on our wall when we return home. In my first blog post, I shared a photo of a couple of our Polaroid photos from Washington DC.

Blurred out plane information for obvious security reasons

Yes, I did mention the Air Force up above. I am a traditional Reservist for the United States Air Force. I did serve time as Active Duty, however, decided to change my status in order to return to school. My job in the Air Force is Air Transportation and the easiest way to explain this is to compare it to an airport. When you arrive and there is an agent to check in your bags or check you in for a flight, that is what I do. Now, think back to your last flight and the people you look out the window and see loading the plane with all of your bags, animals, or even wine that you are bringing back from a foreign country. Yes, that is also a part of my job. Ever wonder how cargo pallets get built? You know who does it? You guessed right! That is also included in my career choice. Air Transportation is extremely diverse and there is many components that are not listed above. It constantly keeps you on your toes because no day is the same. I have been in 5.5 years and I am still learning new material or new ways of how to perform tasks.

When I am not caught up with school, traveling, or my Air Force commitments, I am at home with my dogs. This story gets a little more complicated. I live in a house of 5 people (myself included), and almost all of us have our own dog. My house consists of myself, my brother, my cousin, and my 2 best friends. I am sure that Jasmine sounds very familiar. At the moment, there are 4 dogs in the house and the youngest is named Selena who is my pride and joy. Selena is a 5 month old lab/collie mix with a very sassy personality. Rey is the next princess in line and she is also a lab/collie mix. We refer to Rey as the "government issued dog" because she is beyond well behaved and makes Selena look more crazy than she is. The oldest 2 are named Bear and Rifle. Bear and Rifle are Miniature Schnauzers and are also brother and sister. If you want to see a picture of these cuties, visit Jasmine's blog! The best way to describe these 2 is as anti-social because they hang out in their mom's room upstairs. Living with 4 dogs has taught me that this is their world and I am just living in it.

This is my crazy life. I hope you all enjoyed learning about me and I look forward to reading your blog posts as well!
