Proud of D.


Derek has made it past the first year with the FAA. We spent several nights awake studying his jet routes and call signs over the last year. For a moment there I was so confused who was studying him or I. I have to say I would stay awake studying with him anytime. D would get frustrated and I would be so tired all I could do was giggle uncontrollably. The kids and I are so proud of him. All the stressful tests and training he had to go through really made me realize why I love him so much. He is the most amazing man I know, even when he makes me stay up late to help him study. It is all worth it when I get those text messages in the middle of the day saying, "This job is so amazing!".

The kids and I wanted to do something special to commemorate his first year. I grabbed the camera and snapped shots of the kids playing "airplanes". Two things that I know really make Derek happy, airplanes and our children. I took the pictures of our little airplanes and made a collage of the kids as airplanes all mixed in with pictures of several types of aircraft. D really loved it. I'm glad he did, it was our way of telling him how very very proud we are.
