Yes, we're still alive

We-ll he-ll-o ever-body! (read with strong southern accent, reminiscent of fat lady in floral dress standing on wooden front porch with iron ladle in hand welcoming guests for an Alabaman supper). Hm. Is living in Florida is changing into a bizarre southern woman? Agh! Hope not!

Anyhow, figured since I haven’t written in a really long time I should post a note and let yall (oops) know what we’re up to.

Tomorrow is my (Anisha) last day of Com 101 class. Have been told that if my research paper grades at least a B I will get an A in the class. I am excited about that, especially since Grandma is paying for school! Feel very confident that the paper will do well. The teacher has been hassling me all semester to enrol in Creative writing in the fall. Still haven’t decided if I will. Right now I am also taking a math prep course. I was going to start Humanities on Monday, but decided that since I am starting a new job, I best keep to one class and then possibly enrol in more come fall if I can handle it. I know for a fact that I will take the next math class in the fall because I don’t want to forget everything I’ve learnt! So that is where I am at with school.

Work. Work is good. I am moving to a different role within HAI (Ben’s heli school). In the next week or so I will start training with Nancy (co-owner) to take on some of her responsibilities. I will assisting all incoming students with housing and everything else that comes with moving to a new city. This is just my type of job. Lots of people meeting and greeting. Yeah! Plus they have been very gracious and are giving a nice pay rise. Yeah! God always amazes me. Right when we will have to start worrying about making loan repayments of school, He dumps a new higher paying job in my lap with the same company (I have always felt strongly about staying with HAI).

Ben is also well. Has been working on an external load course and comes home very sore. Also, as of today, summer has officially begun! Although I would argue that is has been here for at least the past three week. Temps are in the upper 90s in the hottest part of the day. Ben has been starting work at 6:30 am to try and avoid the hottest part of the day. I will let him write more about how he is getting on.

Come and see us if you want a Florida vacation any time soon.
