South bound. finally after days of bitter snow and a wonderful suprise trip home for a night, I ventured across the Appalations at 9,000 feet. gorgeous. beath taking, playing in Gods creation is probably the only thing at this point that could bring tears of joy to my eyes. My planes a wreck. NOT wrecked, just a mess. She wouldnt start in the cold at all, I finally was able to take her into maintenance here in Greensboro North Carolina and I learned that, my plane has the wrong cyllinders and spark plugs for my engine. great!!!! the piece has been a danger to me since I started flying it. My 3 month old spark plugs were so fowled the Mechanics were concerned. Needless to say the problem has been temporarily solved until work decides they want to fix the issue permanently. please just pray for my safety, thats all I ask. God will be my pilot regardless, extra prayers help though.
Theres not much to say about the south. Its still cold, its not that sunny, Ive been a mix of emotions because of the weather and my plane and so on. I did however get a wonderful visit from my very dear friend Eileen Klotzer. she and her husband moved down here this summer and she was able to make a trip out and stay the night with me. it was awesome for us both to see a familiar face. I love her and miss her like crazy. That right there is a great friend, we can just pick up where we left off form our busy schedules and chaotic lives. The funnest thing we got to do was check out the Human Bodies exhibit at the natural science museum. I wanted to go so bad when it was in detroit but was never able to make it. WOW do i have alot to learn about the human anatomy. I never really took an anatomy class, I was too interested in physics, I will leave all that stuff up to My baby sister, shes gonna be the body expert.
The holidays are going to suck. Tomorrows christmas eve. This is so unlike me to be such a grinch, for the most part the crew and i have been in such a goofy happy mood since we have been flying alot more lately, but when it comes to talking about family and christmas, we all get pretty quiet. We will be happy when the hype is all over. For most of us, its our first times away from family and loved ones, and for me, its my first time away from all 3 of my families, away from my best friend Kay, and alone, as in no sweetie to meet me under the mistle toe. Its heart breaking and making me so bitter, but I am ok with being bitter, it really does make the days im so happy that much better. I never show my negativity, I prefer to be a positive and optimistic influence to everyone around me, but inside, I feel so broken at the moment. It will go away I know. I know im not alone in spirit, I just hope I fly on christmas day, that will make the day go by that much faster. Theres so much I want to write about right now but I fear Im not ready to share it. maybe in due time I will let you know, but ive been wearing my heart on my sleeve a little too much lately and I just need to collect my thoughts and not get all mushy on ya. "you" who am I talking to haha!! thank god my sister, kalyn, lindsay, my mom and sometimes my aunt read this. well ladies, im bein a debby downer. i love and miss you sooooo much, hopefully I will have more words of inspiration next week.

Christina Wall Hi there, I've been reading your blog. Love it. Blogs are such a great way to vent and sort things out. I did a blog when we were trying to have Emmeline (4 years of trying). I found a lot of healing through typing it all it. As someone who has dealt with the holidays and aviation for 12 years now (indirectly - not the one on the road, but the one alone at home), all I can say is that it gets better, more manageable with time. Man, those first few ones were rough. But then you learn how to still have your holiday with friends and loved ones - just maybe on day other than the 25th. Alex is gone this year also, which is particularly sucky because Emmeline is super cute this year. So we will have our Christmas when he gets back. I have definitely had some alone, low-key holidays over the years, and while they seemed a little torturous at first, I've learned to make my peace with them. It just takes time. As sucky as this holiday may be, you're FLYING! How awesome is that?!? A very Merry Christmas to you - regardless of how much of a "debbie downer" you are feeling like ;-). Safe travels, Christina
Kasia Merry Christmas Aubrey! Jared and i are praying for your safety and happiness this Holiday season :) Wesołych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia i Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku.
