I have a feeling the next several days are all going to be a blur.

Well, I officially found out this afternoon:  I have been hired by SkyVenture, Inc. out of Jonesboro, Arkansas!!!  I am going to be a full-time flight instructor teaching other people how to fly!

And to be quite honest, I'm quite stoked!!!  I flew down to Fayetteville, Arkansas, last week to interview with the owners, and I really like what I saw.  Incredible facilities, great customer appreciation, up-t0-date aircraft, and nice people all-around.  I have been to other flight schools and FBO's, but I was rather impressed with this one.  I would be proud to show someone where I worked!  The oldest 172 they fly is a 2004!!!  wow!

So tomorrow I am flying over to Jonesboro to check out apartments.  I'm hopin' to find something quickly, as I would like to move in over the weekend!  Talk about a time-crunch, huh?!  So that should be an exciting day, for sure!

I start my job on Wednesday, just seven short days from now.  So tomorrow I'll fly over there, Friday I'll use up the last of my hours, and Saturday I'll drive over and move in.  Wow!!!  It's goin' to be crazy!

It's been a long-time coming, though at the same time, it's amazing that the time is already here.  I've been here in Chanute for five months...so it's not that long, but part of it feels like an eternity, too.  But I'm incredibly eager to be an instructor, and I look forward to what the next several weeks are going to bring!  I imagine there is going to be a HUGE learning curve!

Ah, to think...I am going to be TEACHING someone else HOW TO FLY!!!  What an awesome responsibility!

Woo hoo!
