…and I am SO PROUD of him.

The Engineer is a very talented and smart man. He really can
do anything he puts his mind to. Since the day we met, he has been obsessed
with flying talked often about his desire to get his private pilot’s license. He
listens to air traffic control on the reg, if he hears an airplane in the sky…he
has to find it every. single. time, and we have been on many a date to random parking lots around airports to watch the planes take off and
land.

He researched airports and schools to get his license when
he was living in Miami before we were married, but simply didn’t have the time
to take on such a task. After a new job and a move, he finally had the time he
needed to dedicate to learning to fly.

I strongly encouraged him to do it because I knew it was a
passion of his. Just over a year ago he finally took the plunge and started
lessons.

| Long, long ago... |
You may have noticed that since we started our big home
office renovation around two months ago that we’ve been moving at a snail’s
pace. The Engineer has taken lessons and studied for a year, but has done so
around the schedule of our life. This sometime meant he didn’t fly for a month
(or two :-/) when we were busy. He fully dedicated himself to our family and
friends and our home renovation projects.
When he was getting close to fulfilling his requirements in
May, he asked me if he could focus on flying. Of course I said yes, but that
meant we didn’t have as much time on the weekends to work on the office
together. There were of course things I could do on my own (like tackle our
yard!), but once we got the cabinets installed in the office, we backed off so The Engineer could
focus on his training.

He spent so much time studying and making sure he acquired
the knowledge he needed to be a smart and safe pilot.
He passed all of his tests with flying colors.
I really am so proud.
The first thing he did was take his wife up on a tour of the
town!

It was amazing to have my husband fly me around in a tiny little plane over our town. I just wanted to share his huge
accomplishment with you all…and to explain why things have been a little slow
around here!
We’re ready to get back in the office though so you will be
getting some good updates soon! Until then, you can find me up in the sky with
The Engineer….ahem excuse me…Pilot.
