School's in Session

School is back into full swing and I am trying to adjust my mind and body to come into terms with that. This semester is going to be really challenging for me and I hope I rise up to the task at hand. I realize I am just 8 classes away from being done with this college experience and look forward to the next stage in my life.

The class that I am currently taking include: Private Pilot (both ground school and flight time), Aviation Safety, Tower 3, Tower 4, Interpersonal Comm, and Information Systems (Computers class) along with Econ and Spanish 2 online.
I will post some pictures up once I get going on the flight portion of my training. I will be in a Piper Warrior that is less than 5 years old with ever bell and whistle you could think of in this plane. The FAA is testing out a brand new technology and UND is one of the testing zones that it is being tested. The technology allows planes to send information to each other and then it is displayed on a GPS map. Basically a high tech traffic warning system with advanced capabilities.

Since my source hasn't been able to get me a video editing program I decided to post a few pictures of Cole's summer vacation on here. Once I do get the program I am going to make a slide show and put it up on youtube for your viewing pleasure.

I didn't realize we had a comedian in the family.... errr not....
Well Bean I loved the pics. I think it is funny how Cole would just grab Rykon with a great intensity and give him a kiss or tell him he was sorry.
This semester will fly by so make sure you are abel to retain the info and learn. Keep your eyes on God this semester the whole time. It is really hard to stay focused on your walk with God when things get hectic and really busy. If you keep your focus on the cross the rest of the things around you will fall into there right place.
