What A Journey it Has Been!

     Oh what a journey it has been! Is pilot training really almost over? Do we really have an almost 3 month old?? Crazy! It is hard to believe in just two short weeks we will find out what plane Brenton will be flying for his career and where we may be heading to next!

    That last part really makes me feel uneasy. I know for the longest time all I ever did was complain about living in MS and how I hated it. (In fact, I think about every single post in this blog has a complaint about the state somewhere.) But let me tell you, MS is really where I started LIVING life. We learned a lot about ourselves as well as one another. Never ever did I think I would be saying that, but its true. It has been a rollercoaster in the short year and a half we have lived here. We lost a baby, we overcame infertility, we welcomed out first baby into our lives, made lifelong friends along the way that have helped us in our greatest times of need and we have helped them, and now we are about to finish what is probably one of life's greatest accomplishments: pilot training.

    It makes me very sad this journey is coming to an end and I really don't want to leave the world of UPT (although Brenton probably strongly disagrees with me) but I know where ever we end up next will be just as good as our beginning journey in good ole MS. I may not understand at first just what our purpose may be in the next location, but I know God will show me in time just what that purpose is, just as he showed me his purpose for the journey we have had down here.

   We have made some amazing memories down here and I will cherish those forever. Now I can't wait to move on and see what memories we make in our next journey!

  April 13 is the day we find out the plane and location. We will be sure to let everyone know.

  Quick Update on Eli!
  
     First off, I can't believe he will be 3 months old next weekend! He is doing so well and growing and learning more and more each day. His favorite activity would have to be going on walks and doing anything outside. He experienced his first sunburn a few days ago from being outside.. for only 30 minutes! It wasn't too awfully bad, he now has some tan lines around his eyes from his sunglasses to start the summer off :)  He also likes to lay in my lap and kick Occie. This really isn't anything unusual as when he was still in the womb Occie would be laying beside me and Eli would kick him.. not much has changed! I recently bought him an infant pool floatie for the summer, I cannot wait until I take him swimming, I think he is going to love it!

  That is all to report for now, until next time.. take care and God bless!
