Change is in the air.

With fall coming change seems to be in the air.  Working for a commercial cargo airline I am used to change in my life.  Currently we are looking for a new place to live in Rock Hill, SC our oldest will be attending college at Winthrop.  It sure adds a unique stress in trying to find a place that meets everyone’s needs.    Between having pets, trying to be within walking distance of the college and being close to a good middle school we sure have a tall order for a house to rent J   In the past when we have moved it has always been because of my job changing.  With my current job it is nice that we have the option of living almost anywhere we want.  That sure makes it nice for our family at the current time.

 Brenna and I looked at several houses yesterday and think we finally have a handle on 2 houses that would fit our families need. Here is our favorite one.

Change is also in the air for my job as well.  For the last year I have been traveling and working at the McGuire AFB.  I really enjoy the areas and it really has become my home away from home.  I stay in New Hope, PA and is such a great town.  I have met some great friends there and have made it my  2nd Home for sure.  I am so looking forward to getting back there.  It looks like for the next couple of months I may not be spending as much time in my 2^nd home though.  I will be helping cover JFK base and working on getting my airport badge for Anchorage, AK and Chicago, IL as well.    I do have fond memories of the Anchorage airport, and when we lived there we really did enjoy the area!  When we lived there I really did work way too much, I always had 2 or 3 jobs at once.  Because of this I was not home much and we didn’t get to enjoy the area as much as we should have though L.      I am hoping that I can get back to my routine of staying 18 days a month at my 2^nd home though.  I really like having a constant in my life, so now having the job changing and home house changing it does add a bit of stress in life for sure.

I know that in the past change has always been good for myself and our family so I am really looking forward to what the new changes will bring. 

Trip to NYC

The last few days have been crazy for our family. Tuesday we got up very early and caught a plane to New York City.  We were greeted at the airport by a driver that took us to our hotel.  Then we dropped our bags off and decided to take a walk to visit Rockefeller Plaza. It was cool because we got to see the cast filming the Today show and we stood at the corner and waved at the cameras through the windows. The girls and I had such a great time hitting all the stores.  I think our favorites were American Girl, Dylan’s Candy Bar and the Lego store.  Tina and I got a kick out of how our girls sat glued to the window in our hotel room, people watching for hours.  They really loved the big city atmosphere!

Wednesday we all got up early again, the driver met us downstairs at our hotel at 7am to take us to the studio.  We were all as nervous as could be; I think we were 100% more nervous than when the film crew came to interview us at our house.  They brought us to the green room to drop off our bags and try to relax.  It wasn’t long and we were taken to get our makeup and hair done, we felt so pampered!  We all looked so pretty being all dolled up.  Soon after that, we were being escorted to the set for our interviews.  I am so proud of our girls and Tina; they did such a great job. 

We loved our stay in New York City; everyone was nice to us.  We look forward to planning another trip up there when we can spend more time.
