Have I told you all about my amazing mom? I'm sure I have at some point or other. However-- I am particularly proud of (and amazed by!) her these days. She's learning to be a pilot!! And in the past few weeks, she's stepped it up a bit by going on "cross country" trips by herself...! So cool. She's such an awesome example of really wanting something (she dreamed of being a pilot when she was a kid-- used to sit on the roof and identify planes), deciding to go for it (that's the important part, I think-- the choosing) and then making it happen, with hard work and frustrations and set-backs and victories and all. Whoo-hoo, Mom! I can't wait to go flying with you!
