Good News

I love good news!

About the transfer

I've decided to put in for the transfer to Charlotte in July. That way I have a liitle more time to tie up loose ends here in Phoenix. So hopefully in October I'll make the move. I'm excited about my desicion and can't wait to go. It's time.
On a sad note about two weeks ago my uncle Mac passed away. He was actually my dad's uncle so my great uncle but I called him my uncle. He was in his 90s, lived a good life and he had a stroke about 11 years ago and just hasn't been the same. But still it's never easy to hear about someone whom you love and care about is no longer around.

Celeb #4

Today I had my 4th celeb or famous person. On my flight to Des Moines this morning I had former football player Kurt Warner on the plane. Knowing my brother Lincoln was a hugh football fan I asked Kurt if he would give me an autograph for him. He did that's what this picture is. He was a really nice guy as well so it was a good experience.

Made a Decison

I've been thinking for a long time that I needed something else in life. I didn't know what, and still have a long way to go to figre every thing out. But last night I made a decison in that direction. I don't know when for sure but before the year's end I'm putting in for a transfer to Charlotte. So sometime probably within the next few months I'll be moving back to the east coast. I'm excited and torn about it. I've always said that Charlotte was my jinx and could never be based there. Then again I also said I'd never be based in Phoenix and Dulles was at first my last choice. So to be honest to begin with I have never been that excited about any base I've been at.
I just don't see myself here in Phoenix much longer. I'm excited to start a new chapter in life in Charlotte. I love the east coast and the south, so I'm going to an area that I already know I love.
My senoirity has dropped 14 places in a month here in Phoenix. This month I was 120 next month I'm 134. In Charlotte I'd be number 88 in the base. So in a way it's moving up the ladder. Also in some ways I wish I was going to Charlotte now.
I don't feel like I'm making a wrong decision. I feel good about it and feel it's something I need to do.
I went to the doctor today to see about my ankle, which I still don't know yet. Anyway this morning I woke up with a sore throat, which sucks cause it's not fun being sick and I was suppose to work tomorrow. Anyway the doctor didn't like the looks of my thorat was tested for strep, which it's not thank heavens. But I was running a 100* tempature so I'm off work for the week. I'd rather be working. But maybe it will give me some time to start to get things ready to move.

Palm Springs

Yesterday on a long over night in Palm Springs I rented a car and went exploring to a graveyard and the house that Elvis Presley had there.

Ankle

I rolled my right ankle really badly almost a month ago. This is what it looked like yesterday. I'm doing a little better but being on my feet all day at work even with a brace isn't all that much fun for it.

Oh well...life

I was looking over some pictures of a couple guys I used to like just siming photos and I got to thinking that I'm not sure what I found attractive. Not that they're ugly, but I probably wouldn't go for them as much today if they were still single as I did when I was younger. Don't get me wrong they're great guys and I'm still friends with a few of them. That's propbly what I found attractive. Oh well.
I was talking with my mom and figured out that I know around 20 people who from January 1st this year to now either just had a baby or will before the end of the year. And I'm still single. But that's okay. I'm happy for them.
I've really struggled lately in my spiritual growth and life and it's something I need to work on and I'm trying. In fact on Sunday I went to church for the first time since July (well other than when I was visiting). And it went good and it felt good. Now I've got to get my mojo going for next week as well.

In tribute

Too all those who have come in and out of my life and touched it for the better.


Thank you for the laughs, thank you for the fun.
I want you to know many things now our friendship is almost done.
Through think and thin, through wind and rain,
With me you'll forever remain.
I treasure all the time we shared.
I treasure to know you were there when I thought no one cared.
A special place in my heart you hold, right where you belong.
You raised me up when I wasn't strong.
Thank you for your friendship that I hold so dear.
It will remain close in some ways you'll always be near.
And I'm not bitter or broken here at the end.
For deep in my heart, I know you're my forever friend.

I was up a bit so this is zoomed in, but the seats we had really weren't that bad.

Stars on Ice Part II

Saturday mom and I went to Stars on Ice up in Portland. I loved it! But then again I knew that I would! There was only one skater that was there that I'm not a fan of and that was Sasha Cohen. But the rest I'm a huge fan of. Kurt Browning, Todd Eldredge, Michael Weiss, Evan Lysacek, Ekaterina Gordeeva, Joannie Rochette, Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, and Tanith Belbin and Benjamin Agosto. Kurt had me in stiches I was laughing so hard. I didn't want it to end. I hope to go again next year. In fact I would love to make it a yearly thing.
