Flight School is Finished!!!

When I first met Jesse, he was at the beginning stage of applying to flight school. He talked about it alot, he was nervous and not sure that he would get in, I knew he would :) I remember him going to interviews, writing papers, and traveling to other bases to get medical exams. It was amazing to see how hard he worked and how ambitious he was to get in.

Then came the down fall, he got accepted and I got rejected! He broke up with me in a park down the street from his parents house. I was so heart broken and so confused that I didn't understand his reasoning. He told me that he would be gone for 2 years in flight training and then another 6 years traveling for the army. He said he was going to be so busy that he didn't think he could keep up with a long distance relationship, he also told me that I was young and just starting college and he thought that I would eventually change my mind about him anyways. I was devastated!!!

Well about two weeks later we got back together and he told me he loved me for the first time :) what a brat! After that, the reality of everything started to kick in, he was leaving and I was staying here without him. I wasn't sure how things were going to work out with him being gone for so long, but I knew I wanted to try.

He left in December for WOCS school, the longest 7 weeks of my life. It was actually supposed to be around 10 weeks but I drove down to Alabama early to see him! The first time I had seen him in 7 weeks, but it felt like 7 years! It was one of the most amazing moments of my life.

Then we got engaged (I honestly wasn't expecting it at all) and married 2 months later. I moved down to Alabama with him to began our married life together. That is when the actual flight training began. June 2010. Its been crazy. Its been hard, fun, long hours, lots of studying and stressful days and nights, but through it all he has remained the same person, and I love that about him. The only married life I have ever known is to a flight student! And now its over, and I cant believe it! Im not just a flight students wife, im a pilots wife! How awesome is that!!!! Everything I have ever watched Jesse work for, is complete, he has followed his dreams and achieved so much! I'm so happy for him and so proud of him! He has honestly been such an inspiration to me and I am so thankful to have him as such a big part of my life.

I'm so excited to move to Georgia and start a new chapter in our life together :)

Flight School is Finished.


PS: Not only did Jesse get into flight school and get the helicopter and location of choice, he also finished on top!!! Im so proud :)
