Mat's flight to Oregon

One of Mat's students decided he wanted to go on a long flight...to OREGON!

They flew from Provo, Utah to Boise, Idaho and then to Aurora, Oregon.

Just to have a little fun on the trip, they decided to fly over to the Oregon Coast and have some fresh seafood. The weather was amazing!

Mat was so pumped after this trip and can't wait to do it again!

...Here's a few pictures...

Day in the Life of a Flight Instructor

This video is almost a year old, but it shows a little more of what Mat does in his job as a flight instructor. I am so proud of him. He loves flying more and more each day. Now to see his students learn from his enthusiasm and strive to do their best, it just puts a smile on my face.

As a flight instructor, the most stressful, exciting, nerve racking moment is when you let your students do their first solo flight. The day of this flight, Mat was a wreck. He didn't sleep so well, he couldn't eat, he just wanted to have the day to be over. Spencer (his student) is still an amazing student! He has done so well in his training. The video is long, but it's neat!

We're BAAAAACK!

So...we're back!

After taking a year off from blogging and determining if it was something we wanted to continue with...here we are! A lot has happened in the last year, most of which, we don't have pictures to show.

To recap this past year, here's the short version:

Mat continued to Flight Instruct through UVU (he's up to 11 students and working a ton!)

Jen finished her Associate's Degree

Mat went backpacking/camping/fishing almost every weekend last summer

Jen had emergency surgery to remove her appendix

We went to Oregon...three times!

We got to see Tucker & Mary (Mat's brother & his wife) over Christmas

We welcomed our second niece to the world, Jennifer Charolette Belle (she's adorable!)

Jen switched jobs to work at an elementary school (She LOVES it!)

Now that we're caught up, we hope to keep up on blogging a little more now!
