San Antonio

It has been over four weeks since I arrived in San Antonio. We had some setbacks in maintenance on my Beechjet, but I am hoping to fly the airplane home tomorrow, June 8th. The team here has been awesome, and I feel really good about the work that has been done. That is always a good thing...since it is my life on the line with their work! I will only have one night home before I head out next week...my first week as Captain without Terry on board! I am looking forward to it and will probably run on adrenaline each day. I am so blessed to be in the position I am with so few hours and piloting a Beechjet as Captain. Lucky, lucky me. All the hard work paid off!

I did a session here on Thursday evening, and I cannot even begin to describe how happy it made me. It is surely heaven on earth, and I would rather be no where else. When I had called the temple a few days earlier, she said they had sessions at 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. So after work on Thursday, I headed to the temple with my camera, knowing I was too late to catch a session. I show up and the parking lot is packed! Turns out, Thursday is a late night that has sessions at 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. I raced back to the hotel to get dressed and grab my temple bag, then made it back in time to do the 8:00 PM session. I was on the waiting list, but luckily there was room for me to fit in. This was my first time to a small temple. The list of temples I have been able to do a session in are: Toronto, Ontario; Denver, Colorado; Manhattan, New York; and now San Antonio, Texas. I also frequently attend my hometown temple in Mesa, Arizona. It was just announced that we are getting three more temples in the valley, that that will make five in the state!

I still really like John and would probably talk about him all day, every day if I could. He is simply wonderful. I wish I had more time with him this weekend before I head on the road again for another five days. It is the nature of my job and I love it, but it is nice to be in the arms of my big, strong, handsome man, too! I am not biased at all...
