I like my life more than this... really!!!!

My life really IS more interesting than an blog update every month and a half would suffice. Following my time in Canada, I flew from montreal straight to Dallas for a whole week with Charisma!!! I arrived on her birthday, September 23, where she met me at DFW airport complete with her hair braided just for me! Since her birthday was a Sunday, we went to Home Group and Daniel and Holly's, versus taking a date that night. But come Monday we had our date at Julian's in Tyler, and had one of the best evenings with my girl ever! She bought her dress just for that evening, and just for me!! isn't she the best girlfriend ever! The other events of that week were so special. She surprised me with a romantic dinner on Megan/Caleb/Allen/Casey's back porch on Wednesday, we went lotion-shopping at Bath & Body Works, watched 3:10 to Yuma, attended our 5th wedding together, went to Six Flags, homegroup twice, and to church together too!
While on my bus trip back to Harrisonburg, i was called by T.K. at Dynamic informing me of a new job to go to! For the next week following, i was in Albertsville, AL then in Greeneville, TN. I didnt' get to do any flying, but helped clean, reload and marshall four of our KingAirs that the USDA had leased to drop rabies bait.
When i returned to Harrisonburg, i finally got to stay at my own apartment for more than a single night! That provided opportunity to settle in a bit to my own room, buy food and cook for myself and my roommate, Ethan.

On Sunday the 14th, i took another trip, except this one was personal! I drove out to Williamsburg, VA and met Emily, a best friend of Charisma's and a young lady whose heart abounds with encouraging and affirming words. We hung out in a Starbuck's in Williamsburg then visited Jamestown and Williamsburg, but at a mad pace! It's impossible to see everything there in one afternoon. We finished the evening over dinner at The Trellis restaurant, and the conversation we shared just solidified in my heart how special a woman Charisma is and how seriously i need to hold on to her! Charisma is without a doubt the most important person in my life, and just pray for a lifetime with her

I've spent a full 2 1/2 weeks at work in the shop at Dynamic, and i am learning a lot about the airplane i fly. I've had some challenging projects mostly involving redoing plumbing in very tiny places in the plane.
I'm looking forward to embarking on another trip on Tuesday the 30th, to last for 3 weeks, after which is my guaranteed-off time to see Charisma for Thanksgiving week!
