Nathan's in Denver right now and has my laptop with all the pictures so I don't have any of those to post right now. I do have some exciting news though. Nathan got called into the office yesterday for a meeting with his boss. Man, were we nervous! With the way the economy is right now all of the aviation businesses in town are laying off hundreds of people. We didn't think that would happen to Nathan because he's been hearing so much good feed back from all of his bosses, but you never know. Well, anyway, they told him that they chose him and this other guy out of everyone in the company to go to school to fly the new jets they're getting. They will be getting a bunch and there will be a lot more pilots in the future but they chose Nathan to be the first! They really like him at his new job! He's only been there for like six months now and he's already getting such a big promotion! I'm so glad he's finally getting some recognition for how hard he works! I just knew that everyone would love him right off the bat and he would be good at this new place. God's plan always seems to be so much better than what we can come up with! I think I've said this before because it's been so true so many times!

There are going to be a few down sides to this. He'll be going to Dallas for most of January for training. They told him to plan on being gone a lot the first few months. So, that's going to be pretty hard on us with the new baby and all. But, I'm going to try really hard not to complain too much. This is something that Nathan has wanted for so long and I've really wanted it for him too. I knew when I married a pilot that this would probably be how our life would be. It really makes us enjoy our time together a lot more!

Another plus is that Nathan will be getting a nice raise in April which is something we could really use. When he took this job he took a little bit of a pay cut. We didn't take into account all the extra days Nathan got payed for at his other job as well. I think our plan right now is to pay off a loan we have with our tax return money and then pay off some other smaller things. Then, we will probably start looking for a little bigger house in a year or so. I have a few things that I want for our next house. Number one is a basement! I don't like feeling nervous during storm season. Two is another bathroom. Three is an already finished kitchen. We'll see how things go. We'll of course make sure we have our house sold before looking. I've heard of too many people who get stuck with two mortgage payments! Scary!

I think you can tell I'm pretty proud of my hubby!

God is awesome!!! Wow, this is really cool. I bet he is super excited!!! At least he still gets to be around when Addison gets here, and for Christmas. But yes, that will be a hard time at the beginning when he has to be away so much. But I know God will give you the strength to get through it! I'll be praying for you. Will you still watch Emily after Addison arrives?

Awe Thanks guys! Prayer will definitely help! I will be watching Emily probably starting toward the end of January beginning of February. They said they'll be ready for me to watch her whenever I am ready. I was just thinking how sad it will be to miss almost two whole months of Emily's life. It's been so fun watching her grow and change. When I get her back she'll be so different! One plus though will be that she'll be able to hold her own bottle.

That is so exciting! I'm glad that his honesty and hard work were noticed. God is good! I'm also glad that you can be so supportive of him even though it means some personal sacrifice. He will appreciate you even more for it. :)
