CONGRATS BABE!!!

When Jeremy first told me that he wanted to fly helicopters for a living, I was like say what, do people really do that? He first told me about it before we were married and I kinda thought he was a little crazy.When I would day dream about getting married to a wonderful guy who was rich it didn't usually involve him putting his life in great danger every single day. Then I thought he wouldn't get accepted to the school ( since it's very expensive) and if by a miracle he did he would just chicken out or I would convince him to try something different. I can still remember the day when I was checking our answering machine and heard the message that he had been accepted and approved for the loan. I thought for a moment, do I really need to tell Jeremy about this I mean I could have easily hit the DELETE button at any time. Then I realized that this must be meant to be because there is no other way he would have been accepted. I then decided to interrupt his shower and tell him the good news and at that moment I realized he really wanted to do this. The excitement on his face was just awesome, I didn't know anybody could get that excited about flying in a death trap and spending 60 G's to do it. He then spent a really long and tiring 2 1/2 years to finish his schooling. During his schooling he was told by several people (instructors) that he was an excellent pilot. He was even told by one of his examiners that he flew like a ROCK STAR! He definetly is a rock star when it comes to flying, he just knows his stuff. I have been up in the air with him three times, and now I know this is what he is meant to do. I really believe that he has angels watching over him when he is in the air. His ultimate goal was to eventually fly in Arizona doing EMS with Native Air. He had that goal set right after he started school. I don't think he thought he would get his DREAM job as fast as he did. He put in some long hours as a CFI (and was great as a teacher) and then he headed off to the Grand Canyon(which was really hard at times) but he pushed through all the foreigners crap. He originally wanted to go out to the Gulf and ferry people out to the oil rigs, but if he would have done that he would still be out there. He built up his time super fast at the Grand Canyon and then applied with Native Air. He didn't think he would get the job because he doesn't have very much experience, but he GOT it!! Jeremy left for Texas on Jan. 4, 2009 for his initially training. He will be based out of Prescott, Az. which means we will be moving as a family. We will miss both of our families, but this is a great opportunity for our family. We are so excited for Jeremy that he gets to finally do what he wants to do with his career. Not very many people look forward to going to work everyday, or get paid to sleep on the job (at times) Jeremy has been told by so many people that he is their hero, cause he went out and did what they have always wanted to do. We are so proud of you babe (daddy) just remember you will always have a family to come home to every night, so FLY SAFE!! WE LOVE YOU and GOOD LUCK on your first day.
