Love and Jets

Parker had his first solo in a jet a couple of weeks ago, and I couldn't be prouder! I get excited for every milestone he achieves throughout his military career, and this one was no different. I've mentioned before that Parker has wanted to be in the military ever since he was a small child. Seeing him live out his dream right in front of my eyes is such a special journey to be a part of. Every love story is different, and ours happens to involve planes. I could be frustrated by the fact that flight school and the military have grueling, time-consuming schedules, or I could embrace the fact that God chose this journey for us to live out together. I love this adventure, I love this man, and I love this perfectly imperfect life that we have.

I also want to wish a very happy birthday to my father-in-law! Parker's dad is one of his greatest cheerleaders, and he has been a constant support for Parker as he lives out his dream. This post happened to be scheduled on his birthday, but I don't think it was coincidence. I love it when God's providence shows up in neat little ways like this. Happy birthday Tim!
