Well, things have finally come together and all these "trials" that have happened have made us see what we think we're suppose to do. This job here in Cali served it purpose. It got Cameron to almost 800 hours, 500 hours dual given, over 200 multi engine and a lot of experience in office work. It wasn't very fun or enjoyable but it was necessary. That has all come to an end as we pack up our belongings (once again) and head to Camano Island, WA on the 25th of this month. We'll be staying there until a job comes, which hopefully won't take too long since he's already filled out 2 applications and we haven't even left yet. He's still going to do the aviation thing but at a slower pace. We need a more normal family life, or a family life at all. The more we think about this move the more things fall into place. If the world was combining against us last week, well it's finally righted itself this week. It's really nice all the support we're getting from family and friends. I just want those of you who we will be leaving in a week to know that California really hasn't grown on me but you sure have. I'm going to miss all of you who I got to know over the last year. I really got comfortable with you even though I knew that we would leave eventually. If I could take you all with me some how I would. I plan to stay in touch through Facebook, blogging and text messages. I'm not good with actually calling people on the phone, sorry.
Our life is crazy, but I think it might be slowing up a bit. I feel like we're almost where we belong.

Bigger and Better Things
No go on the Sierra West job. By the time his background check got in they had already hired someone else. So ridiculous! Anyway, that happened and then a couple of days later he finds out that he has lost his medical because the FAA didn't get all the info they wanted and all the letters they've been sending go to his parents and blah blah, they didn't get to us on time. So he can't fly until they review his case and mail him another one. He called his boss in JAX and was pretty nervous about what they would say, maybe something like "you're fired" but the only thing he said was "alright. let me know when you get it straightened out." That was a relief to hear until we found out why he had been so nice. They stopped his pay as of the day he called. Now mind you, he can't fly but he still runs the whole office and has been doing ground lessons and proctoring exams. So that's crappy. To add to the mess and frustration our car needed some costly repairs, our camera is broken to never be fixed again, out DVD player crapped out and my cell phone has decided that it doesn't want to charge itself anymore, ever. Is the world combining against us? Why yes, yes I think it is.
