I never would have thought that life would be so complicated. Go to school, get married, have kids, graduate with hard earned degree, get job with that hard earned degree...oops, not possible! We have now been graduated for a year and Cameron has been struggling to find a job. Well, he got a job selling cars but he dreams of flying. We both have come to realize that if he doesn't finish up his ratings now he'll never do it and end up like his dad who is now close to retirement and still dreams of flying. There are a lot of different options that we can consider, but it's trying to figure out which one it right for us. He really likes the idea of being a Bush pilot but that requires us to move to Alaska and live there for a lot longer then I want to even consider OR move to Australia! That just seems like a joke. I've never even been outside the U.S. besides Canada (and we all know that that really doesn't count) let alone MOVE outside the U.S. Oh, did I mention that Bush pilots get paid peanuts!
Another option is Crop dusting. The thing that's wrong with that is that Airlines (which he hopes to end up someday) don't like crop dusting time. They get paid fairly well, but it's something that he'd probably do for the rest of his flying career and he doesn't know if that's something he's ready to do. He also has a job interview to be a park aide over the summer. It pays alright, but he has no guarantee of a job come September.
I'm starting to wonder what "happiness" really is. I had this conversation with Cameron. I use to think happiness was about achieving your dreams and goals. I always thought that if you have a dream you should pursue it, but at what cost? We have come to a conclusion that happiness is achieving your dreams and goals, but it also has to do with being happy with what you have. I just don't know at what point you realize that you need to stop pursuing aspirations and just find something that you're marginally happy with.
When will we get to stay in one spot long enough to get to know people?
When will we finally decide where are kids are going to grow up?
What will Cameron do as a career? And how long will it take to get it?
So many unknowns, so many variables, so confusing!
Cameron and I got to go to Leavenworth, WA for our 4th anniversary for a couple of nights. It was so nice to get away for a while and we REALLY appreciate all the family that watched the girls for us while we were away. 
Of course you have to stop at the crazy hat shop!
We saw a couple of families of geese out teaching their babies to swim. It was so cute!

On the way home from picking Breanne and Kaitlyn up at Grandmas and Grandpas. She fell asleep with the parachuter on her head (obviously). The girls were so exhausted from all their playing the weekend. They had a ton of fun and so did we.
