A Wegner Update

So here's the latest scoop on the current lives of the Wegner's... 

(I apologize in advance for the novel, but it has been awhile so there is a lot to update on)

Jeff started his SkyWest training on June 4th and is still currently in the process.  For the first few weeks that he was doing his ground school in Salt Lake, we were able to see each other for at least a day or two on the weekends.  Jeff took a big test (and passed!!) on June 26th, completing his training in Salt Lake.  He was awarded his WINGS and got a couple days off!!!  That day also happened to be my 22nd birthday so Jeff was able to come up to Logan to celebrate with me.  It also happened to be our last night in our Logan home - our first home!  (which I will miss dearly...)

 SO proud of this boy!! :)

 Ow Ow!  Doesn't he look dang good in his uniform?!  

So on June 29th, Jeff started his simulator training in California.  He spent three days in Fresno, and then had a couple days off to travel to Long Beach where he currently resides.  He's got 11 days in Long Beach (two weeks in California total) and THEN he gets to come home!  But then... he has a couple more weeks of training where he is actually flying routes.  Phew!  The poor boy... hopefully he will get a much needed break after all this training.

As for me... This summer I have been working at my same job that I've worked at for the past three years, and I am going to seriously miss it.... :(.  I spent a lot of time packing, cleaning and moving out of our apartment.  We moved everything down to Bountiful where half of our stuff is in a storage unit and the other half in my parents basement.  And I am now currently homeless... again ha ha.  My job in Logan ends on July 16th and then I will be officially living with my parents until Jeff finishes training, and we know where we will be based and what we'll be doing.

So as you can imagine this has been a roller coaster of emotion and an often stressful situation for the both of us.  Jeff's training has been extremely intense/stressful and he constantly faces the possibility of not passing a test and failing... I think he's "enjoying" it a little more now though since he is actually getting his hands on and practicing in the simulators.  For me, it's been sometimes quite lonely and stressful having to move and pack without Jeff, and being homeless.  

However, I am so very thankful for everything we've been blessed with and the love and support from family and friends!  Though it's been stressful, we have been blessed and everything has worked out ok.  We are so blessed to have wonderful friends who were so willing to help me move and let me live with them, and just family and friends to keep me company.  It's been a difficult month for us, but I am grateful for it, and we have grown stronger because of it.  It's encouraged me to become more independent and I have grown closer to the Lord and I know that he is taking care of us and knows what we need.
