Happy Bday Karen!

It has been a quick week-again!

Today is my sister's Bday...but not much of a relaxing day for her-she has a wedding she's shooting today-so make sure you check out her blog/heartland photo's for some sneak peaks!!!

Today was fun. I had a photo flight this morning with an aerial photographer. Unfortunately, it was ridiculously windy...but lucky me-he was a pilot too...so he didn't mind the bumps.

This afternoon, we went to visit my friends, Kim and Satish. Kim is an old friend of mine from Wichita-who is kinda like a big sis to me. I haven't seen her for probably 3 years, and she and Satish hadn't met Chris yet, and we hadn't met their 2 daughters. We dropped in this afternoon for a belated birthday celebration for Satish, and also to see the family and friends. We had a really nice time. They are at a point in their lives where they and most of their friends have a kiddo or two, so we watched the kids play in the yard on a slipper-slide and the adults (yes, we are included too!) chatted until dinner time. They had catered food in, which was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed the time we got to spend in good company with intelligent people.

Intelligent people...hmm-you might ask...odd comment?! No. Last night we went down to the downtown area-the crossroads district (I think) for the 1st Friday arts festival. Every 1st Friday of the month, lots of art galleries in that area open up and have free admittance and snacks/etc. to go look at and walk through between 7-9pm. We met up with our friends Kirk and Nichole for dinner and to walk around. Well...let's just say we saw some INTERESTING people...and to put it lightly, we got "cultured". There was quite a variety of individuals there, and we didn't have to go far to see both ends of the spectrum. Regardless of the interesting people, we had a good time.

Over the past week, Chris has been in Wichita for some training. Most people dread the 3-day intense training...but not Chris. When a co-worker asked him how his training was Chris said, "It was like coming home." His co-worker said-"you're sick."!!!!!!

But, in retrospect, Chris did that training for a year and a half, and knew a good majority of the staff, so one can understand how going back to an old job to see your friends is kinda like coming home. On another note, his sister's car broke down the last night that he was in town, so it's good he was there to help her with that and get it into the shop to get fixed (because he didn't have the tools to do it himself-he was disappointed)

Me-over the last week, I have had the opportunity to fly on a couple of what I like to call "pick up trips". These I define as I happened to be in the right place at the right time...and so I get to tag along and do a bit of corporate flying. I have had a good time, and learned a LOT-both the good, and the bad-and trying to avoid the ugly! Hopefully one of these days, being in the right place might provide a job opportunity!

Oh, lastly-our little garden is growing!!! It took only a couple of weeks to see little green sprouts...and now we are seeing more leaves, etc on the vegetables...so keep your fingers crossed! The Missouri rain has definitely been helping.

Cheerio!
