Hello!
Latest Update on Chad:
He's been having a really tough time lately... and to add to that, He has been sick.  He has been passing his tests... but his "stand-ups" are giving him a hard time.  He's studying really hard to improve on that.
Today will be his first time to fly this week.  I haven't heard back from him yet.  It is a very important flight and we've all been praying for him and claiming a good day for him!  
He get's out for Christmas break today!  He'll be off for 12 days!  He plans on studying the entire time!  The flight program is getting harder and harder everyday that goes by.  Chad is giving it his best... and we are all praying for God to bring him through it with grace.  
I have been doing what I always do, cleaning, cooking, washing clothes, knitting, attending "spouse" events... and staying surprisingly busy. 
 I hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hi!  It's Christmas time!  I always get so busy around Christmas time.  Anyways, I haven't been doing anything too amazing.  I did an interview for a job and haven't heard back from them yet.  I have a 50/50 chance of getting it.  Chad has been studying a lot!  He's definitely under a lot of stress right now.  Being air-sick has caused him to get behind... and the program moves so fast there's no time to catch up!  We are counting on getting to Christmas break so he can have some time to catch up!  He's got a big test coming up tomorrow, so that's what he's studying for right now.  He is supposed to fly tomorrow but it totally depends on the weather.  It is definitely getting more challenging for him every week that goes by.  Please keep him in your prayers.

These entries are getting fewer and father in between!  
It's the Holidays and we are both staying busy.  I will catch you up on Chad's progress... and it's been tough for him.  He had a tough flight last week.  The end of a "block" was coming up.  I'll try to explain.  You get so many flights, let's say 6, for example.  By the end of those 6 flights you should have made a certain amount of progress.  Chad was told on his 5th that he was behind... and had a lot of catching up to do.  So, he has been pushing very very hard to learn as much as he can.  He had his 6th flight and he barely passed.  However... He 
DID PASS.  Which was good news.  But he's still not where he should be.  So this weekend, he's having to spend every last minute studying and practicing.  So his "weekend" to relax a little has turned into a last opportunity to catch up with the others in his class.  No time for talking on the phone, no time for anything but studying.  He is doing well, and he knows what areas he needs to work on.  He's giving it all he's got, and I know he'll catch up.  So that's where he is right now... and it won't slow down for him until it's over!  
The reality of me never seeing him has truly set in!    
As for me, I have been working on Christmas gifts.  I also applied for a part-time job at Armstrong Mccall.  I have an interview next Tuesday.  Well, that's all for now Folks :)
