Day at the Airport!

So yesterday I spent most of my day in the airport! I got my first flight Tuesday night and we flew to Columbia, SC. So Yesterday our plane back to Washington/Dulles was delayed, so we got to the airport about 3pm. Keeping in mind we were originally supposed to leave at 2:25pm And we we kept seeing was DELAYED!! So the crew that was supposed to leave about 7pm shows up for their call time at about 6pm. Long story short....both of our flight ended up being canceled, which we found out about 10pm. And it was all due to weather in VA. There was severe weather and TORNADO watches in DC. How crazy is that....im just glad we werent there. They had to shut down the ATC (traffic) tower and have then got to the ground. So This moring....I am working the flight back to Washington/Dulles that was supposed to leave at 6:10am, but as of right now isn't going to take-off till 8:30am. So now I am up just chillin' in the hotel, not the airport thank goodness! So that is how my day went since I got my first trip. Just hopefully, once I get to the airport the plane will actually leave and we wont have to spend another day chillin' in the wonderful airport...but then again I guess I better get used to it! :-)

Hey everyone! So I thought I would update about my job. So I am still in Dulles, Va at the Washington Dulles International Airport. I got awarded Grand Junction, CO effective June 29th so then I will be in Colorado! This is only my 3rd day of work the first two I was on reserve (on call) and then today I am at the airport on ready reserve (on call at the airport in uniform ready to go). Haven't been on a flight yet, but have used my wonderful flight benefits! This weekend Jeremy and I went to Utah for my friends wedding and got to see my wonderful friend Bonnie!!! :-) It was so good to see her and she got to meet my hubby. Then I came back to VA and Jeremy went to Bakersfield for a few days.
As of right now we might be moving back to Bakersfield at least until I get settled in to the base that I am going to stay at. Jeremy will be in Bakersfield working until we figure it out, because he was working at 2Wire for Volt (a temp agency) and 2Wire let him go, which totally sucks! So now he is looking for a job in Bakersfield since all of his friends and family life there. And it isnt that easy for me to come back to Phoenix, so that way he will be able to hang out with his friends instead of being bored to death. But if I like Colorado when I get there, we might end up moving there. We will see how things go. So that is what is going on in our life right now.
