Ben Update

Hey all you devoted blog readers (aka, our moms & grandmothers...hehe), I thought you might like a little update on your boy Ben!

He is flying like a mad man these days. They have had him "double turning" this week...which basically means doing two flights one right after the other. So he leaves the house at noon or 1 and doesn't get back until around 10pm!

The neat part is that on these flights he is getting to go to places like Tallahassee, Alabama, New Orleans, and possibly Orlando later in the week!

How crazy would it be to fly to a different state almost every day!? Although he doesn't get to do much site seeing, they always make sure that they stop somewhere that has good food.

For example, if they go to New Orleans, you can bet money that they will go get shrimp po boys, and in Tallahassee they got $1 barbque sandwhiches!

Not a bad deal! So at least on his flights he is not only learning lots about the airplane and his job, but he is becoming a regional food expert :)

Its nice to have things like that to look forward to when you land, because it is a very stressful and mind taxing environment! With that said, we still covet your prayers and have felt God's hand on us so much in the past couple of weeks. It is evident that we are being prayed for and that God is working miraculous things in Ben's flights!

Thanks so much, we love you all!
