Nathan's first Cross Country Solo Flight

-
Just for background information. Cross country means an hour a way or so...not to Europe like I thought. LOL! Solo means no one but him in the plane! Yes! He took these pictures of himself. LOL! He needs two cross country solo's this last Saturday he did his long cross country solo. He first flew to Lake Havasu and then from there flew to Daggett airport (or Barstow, CA) and then he flew home. He of course loved every moment of it! His last cross country solo will be this Saturday morning and he is just going to one airport. He hasn't decided between Hurricane, UT or Mesquite, NV the only stipulation I gave him is he has to be home by 11 a.m. I have plans and he has the kids! He will have an upset wife if he isn't home in time for me to be on time to my friend Melanie's baby shower. I am not really a social person but I love going to my friends baby showers and staying the majority of the time. Okay enough about me and back to Nathan. So here are a few pictures of him and after this next solo he has one more night flight to accomplish with his instructor and maybe one more of just review before his official "test" for his license. He should be holding his license by the end of the month! Congratulations Nathan, I am thrilled for you!


Here he is flying


Yes, again here he is flying


I think he said this was Prim, NV

This is actually before he took off

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
