My month long winter break was much needed and enjoyed. I spent the first half catching up with my best friend Marissa (before she had to go back to Ohio State University and start classes on January 3) and soaking up my family..the second half was spent soaking up my family and spending an exciting week in chicago!
But, before we discuss that, here are some pictures from the BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER! My mom surprised me this year with a coupon for a one hour flight lesson at a small airport in Bulverde! My teacher was a very lively Air Force veteran who had been flying for 50-something years. As soon as he got us into the air in our tiny single engine, he handed all control over to me. We flew over Canyon Lake, Universal City, Blanco and out towards Fredricksburg. Of course I was white knuckling it the whole time, but the whole experience was an amazing rush!

Before settling on Aerospace Engineering, I had considered majoring in Flight Science however I didn't realize the hefty cost of a pilots license, so this gift gave me the opportunity to get a taste for flying. Thank you soooo much, mom :)
