Back to Life Back to Reality

It's really back to reality after a two week vacation in Minnesota. We flew out December 18th and just got back New Year's Day. We had such a blast and are glad to come home in one piece. It was so good being with family. I especially enjoyed seeing my parents who I hadn’t seen in six months. Normally we talk to them on the webcam, but seeing them in person is so much better.

This picture is at my house with my parents

It was hard to come back after another visit home. We really hope and pray we don't have to visit MN much longer. The airlines haven't hired anyone in at least a year and a half, but that is changing as Tyler just discovered the airlines are starting to recall furloughed pilots and some airlines are actually interviewing and hiring!! This is definitely a shout for joy! He can’t apply yet as he only has about 800 hours of total flight time when he needs about 1000 to be competitive. The good news is that things are definitely looking up for next year (as long as nothing to major happens with the economy). We have been in Utah quite a bit longer than we'd like but we do enjoy the family, friends, and mountains here. 

I thought I would post a few pictures of Christmas 2009 in Minnesota!  Check them out below.

Tyler and I decorated some sugar cookies my mom made.

We played lot's of games - Life was way fun!

I will miss my parents, and hope to see them in March.
