Camp Atterbury Christmas Party 19 Dec 2008

Friday was a crazy-busy day, that's for sure. I had to go to work at normal time on Friday and the students were dismissed at 10:30. The teachers had a full day of work ahead and it was quite frustrating because all I could think about was what was going on later that day.

Below are some pictures for the Atterbury Christmas party. All the Airmen and their families got together and had a beautiful banquet and some fellowship.

Above is Dave, Deb, Chrissy, Bob, Merle, Ernie's wife, Ernie, and Dustin. Dustin was the last one to eat at our table and he was quite slow. Notice the Starbuck's cup... this was one of my Starbuck's fraps cleaned out and being used as a beer container--Leave it to Dave ;)


Here is Stanley wiping his mouth. His name really isn't Stanley, it is Steve. He is doing man days at Atterbury and is quite odd. He was a home schooled if that starts it out? I didn't believe half the stories Dustin told about this guy. For example, JT would get out the bull horn and hollar at how he was doing everything wrong (like on the movies). After meeting the breathing individual, I now know why he is called Stanley and enduring the pain the Atterbury men inflict... Have you ever met a person who just totally is out of touch with not just reality, but social skills? A person that doesn't understand how to react or engage in dialogue with people? This is Stanley...
Notice the little girl in red in the back? She's holding a toy snake. See the man tha belongs to the hair line that is receding? He is terrified of snakes, just like me... Bet you can't guess what happened next??? :) The worst part was, she walked past me and my blood pressure was high. Dustin comes up and grabs me as she walks by and I screamed. Such horrible pranks...


Here's Quatar (Cutter) in the blue AF polo and his girlfriend with the silver scarf. Cutter is doing man days at Atterbury as he prepares to deploy to Iraq next month with Terre Haute. His girlfriend is deploying as well.

Oh.. what can I say about this guy. First of all he's drinking Mountain Dew-- young and wet behind the ears. Tadpole (Jason Hart) or at times I call him Skittle, is the newest edition to the Atterbury bunch. He is still older than me, but we don't tell him that. He's got a lot to learn but he's definitely a cool guy. I guess it really doesn't take much to be better than "Stanley." haha



Here is Dustin's girlfriend... not the one on the left, but the one on the right who always wears his gortex. Dustin and JT can't do anything without one another. They go to lunch together, hide together, do radio/computer geek stuff together, and even hold each other's hands in the bathroom. We love JT and Tracy :).


I had to get a funny pic of Stanley... doesn't he just look like a Stanley?

Here's JT in the corner, Chris (Beech) Snyder, Mike (mad day guy), and Dustin. I had to take this picture for some many of reasons.

Mrs. Aders and Mrs. Nester... showing how we Air Force wives have to stick together and be of a certain tribe haha.


Merle's oldest, Isabella, showing off her necklace she made. Libby, Beech's wife is so great with the kids. She always brings so many activities for them. I actually wanted one of these necklaces... great job, Isabella!

Here is Evan Payne, Gabrielle Aders, Beech's baby girl, Elaina (Merle's snake friend daughter), and Bob's daughter in the corner.

Merle thanking everyone for being at the party and explaining the rules of the White Elephant gift exchange.
Jason Monroe is opening the gift I wrapped. Dustin found his id card still in the CAC reader in his computer. Dustin gave it to me and so I put it in the box and somehow he was the one that picked the gift and opened it. He loved the gift, of course ;)


Kevin and Gabrielle. She gets to wear the necklace and I don't even get one. By the way, isn't he a great dad? He can even do hair like he's had hair all his life... hahahahahahaha

Dustin and I left the party around 8:30 and headed back home to get packed and get the dogs to head up north for the evening.
