So, we've decided to join the world of blogging so everyone can keep up with us and our travels. We are planning to arrive in Columbus, MS on Monday, 25 August. We are so excited for this new journey, but very apprehensive as we take this leap of faith. God is so faithful and as we look back over the last 5+ years, we see His work in everything.
We started this journey toward "silver wings" (pilot's license) almost 6 years ago. Jason called me in college and said, "I have an idea." I thought he was crazy at first. I was supposed to marry a high school biology teacher, not a pilot. It took a lot of praying and research before God granted me peace with all of this. It was about 2 years, from the first time Jason presented this idea, before the first application was sent out.
Over the course of 4 summers, we sent out more than 50 applications and drove to more than a dozen interviews. Our stack of rejection letters is large, but that just shows Jason's persistence in believing in this dream God placed on his heart over 25 years ago.
It is hard to believe that UPT (Undergraduate Pilot Training) is finally here. We never doubted for a second that we wouldn't get here, but it is still very surreal to be down here.
