Big News!! (Not Pregnant)

Can you guess what is important about these pictures??

Well, besides Gavin's little cute self. No, it has something to do with that little airplane he is playing with. We have some exciting news to share with everyone! After many prayers and a strenuous interview process, Chad has been hired by United Airlines to be a pilot for them. He is beyond excited!! This is a dream come true for him and I am so proud of him. For those that don't know, it is very hard to even get selected to come in for an interview for the major airlines. It is a very coveted job and there are many, many qualified pilots vying to get these positions. Chad flew to Denver in September to have an interview with top United Airline officials and sat in a simulator with a current airline pilot. After a few weeks of waiting, we finally got the call that he had been selected to become an airline pilot. He starts his "classes" in February and then life gets a little difficult for us for a little while. This new job means a lot of away time from home. I mean A LOT. The first year is going to be pretty stressful for us as Chad will be gone most of the time. But all good things to do not come without work. We know we can power through the tough times to get to the benefits that will be awaiting us on the other side. The good news is, I will be loading Gavin up in an airplane and flying to Florida on a more frequent basis! So the next time you talk or see Chad, give him a pat on his back. This is a huge accomplishment added to his already long list. I am so very proud of him and I look forward to this new adventure that awaits us.

Can you see Chad in the pilot's seat??
