Planes & Pilots

As of November 10th, 2007, Stephen officially got his private pilots license! YEA!!! I was so excited for him. This has been something he's always wanted to do and he has been working since this summer to get his license. Stephen put in his required hours and passed all of his tests (which took all day long). When he got home he found a surprise....what a great reason to celebrate!

I would have to say that Stephen's a little kid at heart. He couldn't wait to take me up in the air and show me all that he had learned. I decided to give in and he couldn't wait...so we took a little flight this weekend. It was so much fun! I couldn't believe it. I had never been in a plane so small! It still amazes me that such a little machine can fly so high and fast. I wasn't too nervous at the time, but now I think back and realize that we were about 9,000 + feet in the air. I could almost reach out and touch the clouds. It's a little scary, especially for someone like me who is afraid of falling from heights. We ended up going from Spanish Fork all the way up to Logan. It was so beautiful! You could see the snow capped mountains for miles and miles. We had a great time! Here's a few pictures of our fun adventure!

Spare Time???

Stephen keeps asking me what I like to do in my spare time when I'm not teaching or involved with school. Amazingly I really had to ponder this question. Do I have spare time? What do I like to do? Cooking? Well yes, but not when I get home at 5:30 starving and want to eat asap. My motto then is... I'll eat whatever is quick, easy and available. Cleaning? Well, I do enjoy living in a clean apartment and the satisfaction of it all. Although, I do have to admit that sometimes when I get frustrated or just have to let out some stress I do go into the cleaning mode. But as of late, I decided I really enjoy digital scrapbooking. It's taken me a while to find the 'spare time' to sit down and figure it all out. I've done a few random pages. The first one took me over an hour to do because I don't really know how to use the program. But it's coming....slowly and hopefully it gets a little faster and easier. I'm just a beginner at all this, but here are a few pages that I've put together in my 'spare time' :)
