Exciting GOOD News!

Good news, friends! Rob passed his test yesterday!! Well, almost. Technically there is one part that needs to be finished on Monday because he could only do it with a flight instructor from the school. Yesterday was the big stress though, and he isn't worried about Monday at all. Yesterday's test took most of the day- it started about 8:00 and Rob called me at 4:00 to tell me it wa over. The instructor came from the FAA and he actually told Rob that it was one of the shorter check rides he'd ever done because Rob knew the material so well. I'm quite proud of him and I think we're both excited that the busy week is over and ended well.

In other news, I was dying a lil bit the last couple days, but am just about fully recovered. I was pretty dehydrated, but managed to drink a lot of Pedialite and Powerade and I'm pretty sure I actually consumed 100% of B vitamins from Powerade yesterday. No big deal. I managed to catch up on some important celebrity news and holiday shows. Also, yesterday evening we rented Horton Hears a Who (nothing like a great celebration movie for Rob to watch after his test! He had a few beers and I switched Powerard flavors...super exciting on my half.)

Now that I am feeling better and Rob's test is over, we are going to spend the next few days preparing for the holidays and our trip home! We have a bit of shopping and a lot of wrapping to do. We are planning on celebrating our own lil Christmas here on Tuesday morning when Rob gets home from work...we are going to pull out the waffle maker and make waffles for breakfast and exchange gifts. Expect pictures I bet :) We both are getting really excited about the trip home and seeing everyone again. We both feel like we really appreciate family and togetherness more this Christmas than ever before. Okay, enough mush. We have bills to pay and an apartment to clean. Such fun! Love, Sarah and Rob
