Well my birthday is over. I had a pretty good birthday but I REALLY missed my mom! It was my first birthday without her and it was also exactly 6 months since mom passed away. It's still so hard to even write those words "passed away". I can't believe she's been gone for 6 months. I really enjoyed going to lunch today with Keyera and later to lunch again with the Trumble girls but I couldn't help but think that normally me and my mom would be going to lunch. I missed her alot today. I felt the same way on Chloes birthday. She would have loved being there and we definately felt an empty spot with her gone that day. I know she's with us in spirit but I still miss her hands and her hugs.

Just wanted to fill everyone in on why I haven't been writing anyone lately. Too tired or too busy...sorry, I know it's a lame excuse but it's true. Ever since I started this new job it's been crazy. Like right now I should definately be in bed but I wanted to write at least 10 people messages that have written me and I decided I just couldn't do it right now so this is a shout out to everyone! I have been working some crazy hours...like 4 in the morning till 7 at night and then back to work in the morning at 4. Tomorrow I have to be at work at 4:30 and here I am at 10:00 at night writing a freaking blog! CRAZY! Not everyday is a 14 hour day...just a few of those..lol. But everyday is a 4 or 4:30 in the morning day. I do love my new job though. It's actually really fun...never boring! We do it all...check in passengers, check in their bags, load the passengers onto the aircraft, load their bags into the aircraft, send the plane out and marshall the plane in when it lands (you know...with the orange wands..hehehe), rebook passengers when the flight gets cancelled or delayed, and we get to dump the lavatoryyou know...the pooper. Yep, that's right...we get to do that too! And I had the pleasure of cutting my finger the other day while dumping it and had a hole in my glove so I enjoyed a trip to the hospital for 4 shots and some blood taken. I'm telling you...this job is AWESOME! Just kidding...not about the whole lav story but really I do love this job. I'll really be loving it when I'm flying to Cabo San Lucas or somewhere in Mexico or Hawaii!! Or even just to Redding for the day...anywhere for free is pretty awesome. So....sorry I haven't been keeping in touch with everyone but hopefully things will slow down or I'll adjust and be able to write everyone more often. If you're ever at the Airport come by the Horizon counter and say hello! By the way...I do look pretty snazzy though in the uniform...I'll be the one in the vacation looking shirt with postcard pictures all over it...looking like a tourist shirt with black cargo pants and beautiful black tennis shoes. VERY attracting looking....hmmmm. Yea, right! Well that's about it for now. See you all soon!
