Mid-weekend update

What? You mean your weekend isn't Tuesday-Thursday? That's weird.

Well, a lot has happened since I last posted. The day after my last post I flew from Dallas to Dayton, OH to do a couple hours worth of paperwork and such, then flew back to Dallas. Wednesday May 23 I left Dallas to drive to Tennessee, and the following day I drove from Tennessee to Virginia. I caught up on rest, sorted through what I wanted to leave in Virginia and what I should bring with me to Waxhaw, NC where I am living, and drove down here to meet Uncle Doug, the man whose house I am staying in.

Friday, June 1 I flew from Raleigh Durham, NC to Charlotte to Albany, NY, where Becky picked me up from the airport and took me to Tim and Beth's house in Vermont. I spent the weekend there with Tim and Beth and Annette, then on Tuesday of last week, the 5th of June, Becky and I drove down to Virginia. On Wednesday she drove to West Virginia and I drove down to Waxhaw to get settled in. Thursday my parents met me in Charlotte with my tool box, since it doesn't fit in my car, and we went out to supper with Sarah. Friday the 8th I started work at 5:30 AM. I currently work first shift, (5:30 AM-3:30 PM) Friday-Monday. It will be several months before I am able to sign things off as the work being done, but I am very much enjoying my job. Since I'm doing line maintenance, there is a lot of sitting around and doing nothing but studying manuals and visiting with my co-workers, but that's okay, because when everybody's sitting around it means that everything is good with the planes. I'm continuing to learn a lot, but very much enjoying learning at work instead of at school.

Friday I go back to work, and will work through Sunday, but then I will be flying to Dayton, OH for more company training - I'll be spending the week up there and returning next weekend in time to work the last few days of my shift.

Let me know how I can be praying for you, and have a wonderful day!
