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. Background - Why was I so disappointed with 2 negative pregnancy tests even though we had only been trying 2 months? 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...

"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...

From Coach to Captain

Image
When Taylor and I first met, it was actually out on the softball field, preparing to play a game for our Skills PE class at Utah State University. We were both enrolled in the Kinesiology (The study of body movement) degree with an emphasis in teaching. It was Taylors first semester ever in collage, since leaving the military and it was my millionth semester.  We both desired to be teachers, but Taylors drive to teaching was to be a football coach. And not just any football coach, he wanted to be Coach Taylor - Just like the Coach Taylor in "Friday Night Lights". Taylor expressed to me that it was through that movie that he saw his future of being a high school football coach. I also desired to be a coach, but instead of coaching boys to throw balls, I wanted to teach girls and boys how to throw girls (Cheerleading). However... It wasn't long into the program of Kinesiology and teaching that Taylor realized he wasn't so into the whole idea of teaching as he was wit...
