"So What Is It Like?"

 Let's talk about what it is like at home as a pilot's wife... rant post -  Two things I have been shocked about hearing when people find out or I tell them I am pilot's wife. First - the amount of people who assume "home life is hard" (word for word what someone told me about my life after knowing me for 30 seconds). Second - The amount of to-be-pilots who have asked me advice I could give their spouse or partner because they are afraid of what their career will do to their home life.   You know those cancer patients who get annoyed with people who treat them different because they have cancer? Or, you know those who have a physical handicap that get annoyed and want to be treated the same as others? I have always resinated with those people and felt like I could understand them. It would be derisive to correlate being a pilots wife with cancer or having a physical handicap. However, I have found that I am starting to get impatient with the assumptions people hav

I was watching "Bones" one of mine and Taylors favorite TV shows. I had only gotten 2 negative pregnancy tests but couldn't help but let it bother me as I watched the main character "Temperance" give birth to her first baby on "Bones". I had tears streaming down my face and wanted so badly to have a baby. I stubbornly decided to take another pregnancy test.

In 2016 I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis and was ignorantly put on a medication which would make it so having a baby in the next 6 years would be a very bad thing. The Dr who put me on that horrible medication was just the in-between Dr until I could meet with an actual rheumatologist. When I met with my goddess rheumatologist, Kristina Woosley NP, she was horrified that I was only 25 and on that medication! Even though I was only on that medication for 10 days, it was goin

I was walking between the HYPR building, on my way to the Education building at Utah State University, when my right pocket started vibrating. Taylor and I had been engaged for 2 months so when I saw him calling - smile. I knew Taylor had been wondering what to change his major to since he decided he didn't really want to be a teacher. It was then, on the phone, he wanted to get my thoughts. I had no idea he was thinking of becoming a pilot and we didn't really think it was an option because of how expensive the program is. He explained how he talked with the advisor about his Air Force military benefits and how he would be able to get school paid for if he enrolled in aviation. He was calling to see how I felt about him being a pilot. This moment is something I have returned to a million times, and it is one that brings so much peace into my life. We had been praying for him to know what to study and to later do with his career. I have to say that up until that moment, Heaven
