1. Happy Mother's Day (better late than never) to our moms, grandmas, aunts, cousins...the list goes on...Rob and I both were thinking of you all yesterday and send our love.
2. An exciting addition to the Quantum Helicopters website...Rob is listed on the staff page (picture and all!) Check it out: http://www.quantumhelicopters.com/our-staff.asp
3. Rob is nearly a full-time instructor now! He started last Friday with a student who is planning on about 10 hours of ground and 10 of flight each week and found out today that he will begin working on Wednesday with a student who wants 12 of ground and 12 of flight each week. It is a lil stressful balancing out the two weeks notice he gave Cutter, but luckily he has been able to cut back on hours and head home early lately to get enough sleep, while still working as much as possible. We are planning on crossing paths a lot this week, and it will be nice when his schedule becomes regular, but despite the craziness, he is very happy to be instructing!
4. We celebrated Rob's new job/the completion of my student teaching at Cheesecake Factory on Friday night. Snickers cheesecake=heaven. Enough said here. :)
Okay, on to our Winslow adventure. Originally, Rob wanted to fly out to San Diego for the Red Bull Air Races, but it seemed like we just wouldn't have enough time to cram in the flight, getting to the bay where the races were and making it back to Arizona before he needed to be at work. We decided to head up north for a picnic instead and chose Winslow because Rob was intrigued by the city name being in the old Eagles (I really hope that's the group) song. We flew into this bootleg lil airport where there was no one around, but I was fairly content because they had the most comfortable patio furniture ever and so we relaxed and enjoyed our pb&j picnic :)
Things got a lil more exciting when the random worker man came back from lunch and I had the ingenuous idea of asking him if the airport had a crew car. (Basically, it's just this random car that the airport lets the crew borrow so they aren't sitting around the airport while they are waiting for the people they flew to do whatever it is they were planning on doing.) Anyway, they had one. It was a fantastic 1984 Plymouth Reliant station wagon disaster!! Seriously, this picture does not do the hunk of junk justice. It was super old and rusty and gross, but we laughed a lot and went exploring.
The town was about as bootleg as the car. It sits right on Route 66, so at some point it was probably the place to be, but that doesn't seem to be the case any more. At any rate, here are a few random pictures, including one of Rob and I "standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona." It's really not the best picture ever, but I don't think we'll be going back anytime soon and so it will have to do. :)
This last picture is the one of us on the corner. The picture before it is Rob standing on the side of the road!!Okay, enough here. I am going to try and print out some of the documents I need for my job interview tomorrow before heading to bed. Hope all is well by you. Lots of love, Sarah and Rob
