Pilots, wives, and a nice surprise...

Yesterday Brandon graduated from his SkyWest ground class and I decided that he needed a party, in my opinion that is a HUGE accomplishment and he needed to be recongnized for it! I worked really hard on getting the whole thing set up for him, I had Dave help me get it all together. We invited UVSC pilots and their families, it turned out really great we BBQ'ed hamburgers and hotdogs, we did a variety of different kinds of salads and chips. It was awesome to see the excitment on Brandons face when he came home to a house full of good friends...
An update on Brandon... He will be home for about 6 days and then he's off to Fresno CA for the simulated flight training then to Long Beach CA that will be a total of about 2 1/2 weeks. We found out that Brandon will be based in Fresno CA, sad news! However he will get to come home every few days and will get to stay for a few days at a time when he is home. So hopefully it wont be too bad. Also it usually only takes 3-6 months for them to work there way back to SLC. So we are looking forward to that! Wish us luck!!!
