I can do it NOW!!!

I am now officially a II...meaning a Certified Flight Instructor-Instrument. I can now officially provide flight instruction to a student pilot so they can achieve their private or commercial certificates also instrument students who want to obtain their instrument rating. And I also can provide instruction for an Instrument Instructor applicant (as long as they have their initial CFI cert already). This is a huge accomplish in my book! I'm pretty excited about it!!!

Gettin' my BiG GiRL JoB

On June 3rd, US Airways flew me out to Charlotte, NC for an interview on June 4th. It was one of the best and scariest times in my life. I was actually having to spread my own wings (fun little pun there) and try to make arrangements for making a living based on what I have been taught over the last 21 years of my life. It was so intense, I loved the suspense of it all, but when it finally came down to it, I was so happy I got the job. I am going to be a First Officer on a DASH-8 100 series and 300 series. I could not be more excited about a job!!!! Thank you for all the prayers and encouragement! I am looking forward to starting a new chapter in my book called life!

Summer...

I miss all my friends that are not in Grand Forks this summer! Life is changing so fast...I cant even keep up!

Red Bull Air Races

My stellar group...Out of Control...all went out to Detroit for the amazing Red Bull Air Races. Kevin, Lance, Alyssa and I got to spend one more amazing weekend together. Too many laughs, friends and just the right amount of drinks, all made for a great time!!! Kevin, Alyssa and I hopped a plane out to Detroit, where Lance lives, after graduating, he moved back home. When we arrived, we went out to breakfast then were off to explore downtown Detroit!!! We checked out Belle Isle, 8 Mile, some lovely bridge, and got some directions to Jeff...Jeff...Jefferson Ave from a nice native man givin' us directions! That night, Friday, the four of us went out to peruse the town...Downtown Toledo...so fun! We headed home and got a lil wild...
Saturday morning getting ready for the races, we found out that the races had been canceled due to high winds. So instead of just bummin' around, we decided to head out to Cedar Point. The worlds largest amusement park. It was a blast!!! After a long day of almost getting thrown out of the park due to a few illegal snap shots on my camera....haha whoops! :S Again...another late evening, 4am as I recall, and a wild time in the pool, we finally got to bed!
Sunday morning rolled around; we got up and headed South to the Canadian boarder. Crossing over the river into Windsor, Canada we saw many fly overs, the pylons and one long stop and go line of traffic!!!
The Races were AMAZING!!!! Did you know that helicopters can fly upside down?!?! It was awesome! We all got some great picts!!!
Heading back on Sunday night was so so sad. We had to leave Lance behind in Detroit, so it sucked! But after checking in and going through a huge line at security, our flight was FuLl!!!! So, we had to call Lance and he came back and picked us up! We went back to his place, chilled out and had..again...a good time!
Up early in the morning to catch a flight back here...to the Grandest of the Forks, we headed to the airport and departed back here. And back to the grind stone!
It was by FaR the BeSt weekend I have had in the LoNgEsT time! I love my friends, they are the best 3 other friends I have EVER had...always there for me, ready to have a good time and not stopping at any boundaries!!!!
