First semester has finally landed

Well, my official arrival time was 9:00am this morning. I took my FAA written for my private and passed with a 92!!! yay! Ahhh, freedom! All my finals went well and now i have about 4 weeks off. I am definitely looking forward to coming home for christmas! yeah for Oregon! I'm doing really well though. I have finally become accustom to life at LETU and actually feel comfortable. I have really found some awesome sisters/friends on my dorm floor - we always hang out - a huge blessing and encouragement. Last friday we had our davis (dorm) christmas party - which is where the photo was taken of me and kristi - one of the girls in my close group of friends. We had a fun white elephant gift exchange and afterwards i went to see the movie narnia - great movie! So now, i've been informed that i am supposed to be excited about hanging out with katherine (another girl on my floor) after her final and we are going to paint our nails :o) first time for me this semester -yikes. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and encouraging me thru this semester. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in Oregon.

up, up, up, and away!!

well, this sunday afternoon, I finally decided to take advantage of an opportunity and go fly with a couple of guys. My TI for flight science was doing some training and another guy on my brother floor was going along as safety pilot, so I got to be the backseat. It was fun though to be up in the air again. There was some pretty big clouds with some rain, but I also got to see the campus and recognizeable parts of longview. So we flew for a about 50 minutes. I'm definitely glad I went even though now it isn't as exciting to think about doing homework. I can't believe I'll be doing most the procedures next semester with primary flight! Last night I also splurged and went to a high school that was performing Les Miserables - sooooo good! It was a musical and the students were amazing - it was protected so that you couldn't even take pictures or video their performance. Afterwards, a girl on our floor had made us cheesecake - super good - and then eventually some people in our dorm watched The Interpretor - good movie. So I have had a good weekend and don't look forward to hitting the books again :o)

My nephews' "take-offs" have been successful

Sorry, but this fly girl had to boast about her adorable nephews who I'm sure will take over this world at any moment (i'm also sure their mothers would agree). Owen is walking around now and jabbering. He now has some curls too. Jordan is ready to turn 16 and get his license. One of his favorite activities is vacuuming - yup! Hopefully, he will still enjoy doing it when I have my own place and can invite him over! Hope you like the pics :o)
