Let me reintroduce myself

Lot's of new things happening in my life!
A little about me... I have a bachelors degree in Aviation Management, and two associates degrees in Aviation Science and Commercial flight. Pretty much an education to be a pilot, an air traffic controller or some sort of aviation related manager. I originally started wanting to be a pilot so I did start my flight training. I did earn my private pilots license before deciding that I wanted to pursue a career that was more stable when it came to living location and having a family.

I am legally married to a now medically retired Army Veteran. We got married 2 years ago before he deployed to Afghanistan so we didn't have a wedding. I lived near Fort Hood Texas for a little over a year. Now we are back home in Los Angeles and living with my parents house while we see what our next move will be.

I have applied to be come an air traffic controller once before this year. The hiring process is ridiculous I really don't want to get into it but if you google the process it is nuts. Anyway, I was denied last year, but this you I have passed the first phase of the hiring process. Next will be an ATSAT (skills test), and if I pass that then I will eventually be on my way to the Federal Aviation Administration Academy where I will go to school and hopefully pass in order to get to start professional training at a facility. If I go through this and pass I might have to move pretty much anywhere in the country. As of now I have a "green check" on my application status which is a good sign. I am waiting for an email from the FAA about where and when I will be taking the ATSAT. Thats all I know for now.

I am currently going to school for fashion because it is something I also enjoy and I have the time while I wait for the FAA to hire me. Wedding plans are happening and pretty much a lot of exciting and potentially disappointing things are in the works. For now I will stay busy crafting and pinning my little wedding planning heart away!

California Birthday Adventures

Here are a few birthday ideas. Remember no one said birthday celebrating has to be only one day. My celebrating spans over a week or two. It used to last a month! All locations are linked so you can go check them out yourself.

My celebrating consists of lots of eating!

Go get a spa mani/pedi with your favorite person. I just might be their first time!

You can do dinner and a Movie. I opted for Cinderella, because if it wasn't my birthday he might not have considered it.

Try something new. In my case... the driving range. 

Other options. Race some go carts. Speed Zone in City of Industry.

Do brunch with your bestie! This place is delicious! Anepalco's Cafe in Orange.

Dinner with the family (Went with my parents). Amor Y Tacos in Cerritos, so good!!

Try wine tasting! We went to Temecula, had brunch at South Coast Winery and tasted.

Then to Wilson Creek.

Finally to Pointe Winery.

Be sure to have a designated driver because those sips do add up!!

We also had dinner at ChaCha's Latin Kitchen in Brea (this is the only photo I took, yes my gifts).

Final celebration has to be at a fancy restaurant. I was surprised with a trip to The Perch in LA.

All the places I went to I totally recommend for anyone to try for whatever occasion. Keep exploring.
