Happy, Healthy, & 6 months old!
I cannot believe he is over halfway to being a year old. Time is flying by. I couldn't ask for a better little boy to call my son. God has truly blessed Daniel and I with Joshua. He is such a sweet, fun, healthy, and happy baby boy. His laugh can melt any heart.
Joshua, you have the sweetest soul. You love to laugh and hear mommy & daddy (and practically anybody) laugh. You are always trying to explore different things and seem to learn/do something new every day. You are so incredibly smart. Mommy and Daddy love you so much. You bring us more joy than I could ever express. We promise to always be there for you and provide for you in every way possible. God really answered our prayers when he gave us you. You are such a blessing.
*Accomplishments:
-20 lbs 6 oz. - 85%
-28 3/4 in long- 90% (yes, we have a big boy! He's a 1/4 inch short of the height max for his infant carrier car seat, so we had to buy a new convertible car seat). He can stay rear facing in it for as long as needed, and then it can be used forward facing as well. I really like this car seat and feel very safe with him in it.
-Rolls all over the place.
-Wants to crawl so bad- but still just kinda scoots a little bit.
-Passes toys from hand to hand
-Scrapes toys toward him.
-Still working on sitting on his own, but getting better about it
-Prefers to be standing over sitting. Makes me think he might be standing on his own before sitting on his own. haha. When I try to put him into a sitting position on the floor, he just wants to pull up into standing.
-Still teething like crazy. He gnaws on everything.
-is ticklish. Laughs so hard when you tickle him, especially his thighs.
-eats rice cereal, oatmeal, and still working on getting him to like green beans. Will also try sweet potatoes soon.
-Still waking up once or twice at night, but he is doing great sleeping in a sleep sack. He also has a blanket that he loves to sleep with now. It is great help at getting him to fall asleep.
-Gets so excited when he sees a toy or something that he really wants. It's so funny to watch him flap his arms all happy.
-Loves music. I usually listen to music and sing to him while I get ready for the day and he just stares and loves it. He also has a toy piano that he loves.
-His hair is growing a lot. It's so funny because the hair on top in the back just sticks straight up because it isn't long enough to lay down yet.

5 months! =)
Wow, can't believe our sweet boy is 5 months already. Here's what he can do:
-roll everywhere- like from one side of the room to the other
-trying to scoot on the floor
-laughs and giggles and coos like crazy
-can turn his body around like 90 degrees while playing on the floor
-reaches for ANYTHING out in front of him and puts it in his mouth
-sleeping in a sleep sack (like a wearable blanket) for the most part
-starting to drink out of a sippy cup
-not sure on height/weight since no dr. visit this month
-happy baby most of the time (everyone always compliments on how happy and good he is- and his big, beautiful blue eyes)
-4 days after I turned 5 months, I tried rice cereal for the first time and LOVED it
-working on sitting, but loves standing so much that he prefers to do that so will pretty much want to pull up into a standing position after mommy puts him in a sitting position
Just all around super sweet baby =)

Our Sweet Blessing: Joshua Austin
Welcome to our world, Joshua Austin Lane. He was born October 2nd at 9:02am, weighing 8 lbs 12 oz & 21.5 inches long! He is our pride and joy, and we couldn't be happier. We truly feel blessed by our sweet Lord for this wonderful addition to our lives. We are truly enjoying and loving being a family of 3 now. It has taken a lot of adjustment and loss of sleep to get through the days, but we wouldn't change a thing. He is quite the little observer and has been since he was born. The first 10 minutes I held him after he was born, all he did was just look around the delivery room (normally with just one eye open because it was so bright from the dark world he was used to inside me lol). He makes the most adorable faces, and though he hates the hiccups, it's so cute when he has them. He has blue eyes, and we're thinking they will stay blue. He had to get over a little jaundice at first, but luckily, he got over it on his own without having to do any real intervention. He loves to eat, and by his 2 week appointment he already weighed 9 lbs 11 oz. He will sleep for 3 hours at night normally (sometimes we get lucky and get 4 hours). He's a pretty good baby and loves to play. He loves going on walks and car rides. He can lift his head very well but can't support it yet. Cute little bobble head. haha. We left him with a babysitter for the first time on October 22nd (with the lady I used to nanny for) so Daniel & I could attend the Marine Corps Birthday Ball. We had a lot of fun, but missed him like crazy. She said he did just fine, though. We took him to the pumpkin patch this past Saturday. He slept most of the time, but we still got some good pictures. I can't wait to dress him up for Halloween next year. PS- Daniel is such a great Daddy. I couldn't ask for a better supportive husband & father for our son.
It's hard to believe he will be a month old already tomorrow. SO in love with our little man.
In other news, we will be moving to Virginia the first weekend of December. We are sad to move away from the great state of Texas but excited about this next chapter of our lives: the military life. We are hitting the road the morning of Saturday, December 4th & hope to be at our new townhouse in Virginia by Monday afternoon. I'm already praying about taking a 2 month old (at the time) on this long road journey that everything goes smoothly. My father-in-law will be driving our moving truck, and Daniel will drive our Jeep so that I can tend to Joshua as needed. Daniel has been working at the local recruiting office until we move and is loving it. He is leading the PT program, and with as much as Daniel loves to PT, he really enjoys getting these guys (as well as himself) into shape. I love him working this job because it is a lot less hours and he is a lot more accessible if I need him.
Sorry it's been so long since I last updated. Things get crazy with a newborn around. Hopefully, I will get better as we become more adapted. If I fail to blog in the next month or so, it probably has to do with the move. I'll apologize in advance- SO SORRY!
Love y'all & God bless!

Even More Changes
Blah, I'm still not doing better about blogging. I'm not working anymore, so I really have no excuse. I will get better! lol. My last day of work was August 19th, and it was such a bitter sweet feeling. I love those kids and miss them greatly already. They are the sweetest and most fun and adorable kids ever, and I will miss playing with them and watching them grow. Don't get me wrong though, because I'm enjoying this time at home being able to clean the house, do laundry, relax and just prepare for the arrival of our son. I'm able to listen to my body more and take a nap whenever I feel like it. I will be 35 weeks tomorrow and just a month & a week away from my due date (Oct. 9th). My body is really getting to the uncomfortable stage, but it's really not that bad. The only thing that is really starting to hurt more is my back, and that's mainly from me being "all belly." This pregnancy has been pretty enjoyable and complication free, though, so I don't like to complain. A few friends welcomed their baby boys into their world last weekend, and they are all such beautiful and sweet babies. It makes me even more anxious as to when mine will come. I can't wait to meet him, hold him, and kiss his sweet lips. Daddy is ready to play with his baby boy instead of just the poking game they do through my belly. It's pretty cute & fun to watch though. We have a baby shower next weekend on the 12th, and I'm pretty excited about it. My sweet friend Melissa is throwing it, and it will be a great time to see a bunch of family & friends. My mom is even flying in from Georgia to come and spend a few days with us. It will be her first time to see me pregnant in person, so she's pretty excited (as am I).
I'm currently reading a book on breastfeeding that my friend Aly recommended called So That's What They're For by Janet Tamaro. It's a great book so far. It's easy to read, very informative but without being too serious or hardcore. It's full of good laughs. I'm really enjoying it and recommend it for anyone who is currently breastfeeding or thinking about it.
Daniel started his new job with Terracon, an engineering consultant business. Basically, he supervises concrete pours at construction sites to make sure the concrete is the right consistency and has the correct slump as per the client's guidelines. That's what my understanding of it is at least. He might have to correct me. lol. Not my field, so I don't fully understand it. His first two weeks he put in a total of about 114 hours, so needless to say he works a lot. This has been his 3rd week, and things have seemed to slow down. I believe he'll only be putting in 40something hours this week. He likes it, though, and really enjoys his co-workers. The downside is that some of these concrete pours are at like 4a.m., so he has to leave the house at like 2:45a.m. It's very tiring, and I never know what time he'll be done each day. He stays pretty positive and still spends quality time with me, though. Plus, the money is good, so we shouldn't really complain.
We are loving our new home, but did have to suffer through a very irritating loud buzzing noise for the first month. It came from the water pump to the hot water system outside on the other side of our bathroom wall that traveled through the pipes. So it was the loudest in our bathroom, but could be heard all along the backside of our walls in the condo. We had to shut our bathroom door at night just to muffle the sound some, but it still gave us a little trouble sleeping (mainly Daniel b/c I'm a pretty good sleeper- even at 8 months pregnant). Well, the beginning of last week it started to get worse, and last Tuesday (8/24), I saw two guys out there working on it. They were just moving the pump out from the wall some and told me that they honestly didn't think it would help the noise at all. To stop the noise, the pump needed to be replaced, but they didn't have the authorization to do that since it still technically worked (just extremely loudly). Well, since these are individually owned & managed condos and the pump is outside, I wasn't sure who I actually needed to go through. Well, after some phone calls, I learned I needed to speak with Century 21 who is the HOA for our complex. They agreed to replace the pump, but said it would take 2-3 weeks to come in. Well, thankfully, that pump came in Wednesday and has been replaced already, so the noise is GONE! YAY! You have no idea how nice it is to have a quiet home now. We can actually hear each other if we're talking to each other in separate rooms, and actually lay in complete silence. So thankful that issue is finally resolved, especially before Joshua's arrival.
Well, it's Labor Day weekend and we're going to enjoy some time together and with friends. Should be a good weekend. =)

all sorts of new-ness
Well, a lot has happened in the past few weeks.
First off, we moved out of our 1 bedroom college apartment and into a very nice and spacious 2 bedroom/ 2 bath condo (still in College Station). It's almost double the square footage and CHEAPER! woohoo! The other bedroom is kinda like a guest bedroom/study/storage/room for Joshua's stuff. He will just sleep in our room in a pack & play for his first couple months since we will be moving about 2 months after he arrives in our world! We have all of our own furniture now and this just feels more like home to us. I can't wait to bring Joshua here for his first home. I ordered his dresser online and we've received it. We just need to put it together. That we will try to conquer here soon. It's really the only thing we have left to do. Daniel did an amazing job organizing and finding a nice place for all the stuff we hadn't got to yet last Sunday while I was at Chelsey's baby shower. It was so sweet and awesome of him.
Also, last Friday we went to the doctor for another check up. Everything was great still. My blood pressure was great, measured accurately, no swelling, and got to hear his beautiful heartbeat (my favorite part). I saw a different doctor this time since my doctor was out of town, but the guy I saw was super nice and great. His wife and him actually started this doctor's office back in 1997 I believe he said. It was nice seeing another doctor in the office since depending on when I go into labor, any of them could be on call and deliver me if my doctor isn't available. I think there's like 6 or 7 doctors that could potentially deliver me. Oh, and I got an 86 on my glucose testing from the last time which is very good (one of my doctor friends even said it's like one of the lowest scores she's ever heard - which is a good thing!) because anything over 130 or 140, they make you do a 3 hour test that involves fasting- not fun! No gestational diabetes for me. Praise God!
We've also mailed in our registration and money for our childbirth & breastfeeding classes! I'm pretty excited about them and just to learn more about everything together as a couple. We will do the breastfeeding one Sept.8th in the evening & the childbirth one on Sept. 11th all day. I believe I will also be having a baby shower Sept. 12th, so that should just be an exciting week!
My (Amanda) last day of work will be August 19th. I'm sad because I will miss the two sweet kids I nanny, but I will need that time to rest and prepare for Joshua's arrival. Plus, some real exciting news is that Daniel has accepted a job with Terracon Engineering for the fall. He starts Monday, August 16th, and will work for them until we move to Virginia. They are very understanding about his commitments with the Marine Corps, but look forward to having him as their full-time guy for the fall, since most of their employees are grad students who take off or go part-time for the fall semester. Daniel was very excited to put in his 2 weeks to HEB after being with them for 7 years and 1 week. It's time for him to move onto a big boy job where he can actually use his degree. This Thursday will be his last day (YAY!) and then we are going out of town for the weekend to celebrate our 1 year anniversary! WHOOP!
All the praise goes to God for everything. Without Him, we would be nothing and none of this would truly mean anything. We are blessed and oh so thankful! =)

It's been a while... Sorry!!!
Well, we're just bad bloggers, I guess. I will try to get better, so I can keep y'all better updated on the Lane household as we await the arrival of our first child. We are so excited and eagerly await the arrival of our baby boy. As of yesterday, I started my 27th week, aka the start of my 3rd (and FINAL) trimester! Joshua could be here anywhere from 10-13 weeks from now and be considered full term. Makes me a little nervous since we still have so much left to get and do before he comes, but I know it will all work out with God in control. We went to the doctor on Friday, and Joshua is measuring accurately with a strong heartbeat. He's a healthy little one which we are so thankful about. I had to do my glucose test which consisted of me drinking this orange drink and then having my blood drawn an hour later. We should hear the results back from that sometime this week, so pray that it comes back normal. We go back in a little under 3 weeks, and then, I think she's going to start seeing me every 2 weeks. My back has just started hurting some, especially when I bend over to pick something up. It's like a nerve is getting pinched or something. Good thing I have a sweet husband who is willing to help me out. For example, today, we dropped some stuff off at Goodwill, walked around Target, and went grocery shopping. Well, by the end of all that, my back and my feet were really hurting (luckily, nothing is swelling- at least not yet), so he told me to go lay down when we walked in the door, and he put everything up by himself. He, also, cooked us dinner. Very much appreciated!!!
In other news, Daniel is not scheduled to report to TBS (combat school for new Marine officers) until mid- December, so we will be moving to Quantico, Virginia for that around the end of November/ beginning of December. Until then, we will be staying here in College Station which means our baby boy will get to be born in the great state of Texas. We're excited about that, especially since that means the doctor I've seen for my entire pregnancy so far will get to deliver me most likely (the exception being if Joshua decides to come at some odd hour when my doctor isn't available or the doctor on call since there are several doctors at the office we go to). The part we're not as excited about is that we'll have to move with a 2 month old baby, but we'll survive- no big deal. Anyways, our lease is up on our current apartment in August, and we are excited about that because these are young and loud college apartments and we're ready to get out of them to be in a quieter, more ideal setting for our expanding family. We have found a 2 bedroom/2 bath 1 floor townhouse that is almost double the square footage of our current apartment and $200 cheaper a month in rent. We plan on moving July 30th & 31st, and then, we'll actually be able to put together the nursery (even though it will only get like 2 months of use). I'll finally be able to let this nesting itch in me get out and to work! lol. We've had quite the clean 1 bedroom apartment lately since there isn't much I can do here. We might even be purchasing a queen size bed tomorrow which is very exciting since we've slept on a full size bed with a cheap mattress for the past year.
Besides that, we're just working and enjoying our summer. I'm still nannying and enjoying it. The little boy just turned 1 year old at the end of June and is so fun and cracks me up. The little girl is 2 1/2 and just as sweet and talkative as can be. I'll be sad when I'm not their nanny anymore because I've really had a blast. Daniel is still at HEB, poor guy. I know he's so ready to move on from it, but the Marines don't start paying him until he reports for TBS (unless, they start this language school at the end of August like they've mentioned). The email they sent out was asking to see how many lieutenants would be interested in doing it before they report for TBS, but no word has been said as to if they will actually do it or not. It would be nice if they did though, because Daniel would enjoy it and learn 2 Afghani dialects. Plus, he would start getting paid and we would receive a housing allowance.
Basically, we're just trying to live by faith and give all the control to God. There's no use worrying about things because God promises to take care of those who truly love Him and seek Him. Hope y'all enjoyed our update, and I will try to not to wait so long before I blog again.

Latest Happenings
My wonderful husband took me for a flight that same day that he got his license, and it was awesome. He is just such a natural at it and made me feel more comfortable in that plane than I've ever felt flying (and I've flown a lot!). He taught me a lot and flew me out to Caldwell where he did some touch-and-goes before we came back in. We celebrated with a dinner with a couple friends at Chili's. It was a great day!
In other news, this past Wednesday, Daniel and I went to my latest pre-natal doctor's appointment. It started with an ultrasound where the lady completely checked and measured all of the baby. I couldn't take my eyes off that screen. Seeing our baby is such an amazing sight. The love I already feel for our little one is unmeasurable. Everything looked great and measured right on track for my current due date- October 9th. Of course, we found out the sex:
We are thrilled to become parents to our son, Joshua Austin Lane. *note: click on picture to enlarge.*
On top of all that, we had an amazing even filled weekend. It all started Friday at noon in Rudder Theater on the Texas A&M University campus. It was Daniel's official commissioning into the United States Marine Corps as a 2nd Lieutenant. It was a really awesome ceremony that included us, the family. We had several family members come into town: Mom & Dad Lane, Jordan (brother), Rebecca (sister), Stefanie (sister), Lane Grandparents, Youngblood grandparents, Aunt Cathy, Uncle Glenn, Matt (cousin), Uncle Roger, and Aunt Merle. There were 25 young men commissioned as officers into the U.S. Marine Corps or Navy, and they all looked great up there in their uniforms and new officer insignia that us family members were able to pin on them. After the ceremony, we went outside in front of the Rudder statue where the new officers gave their first salute to an enlisted military soldier. This is a tradition in the military which includes the newly commissioned officer giving the soldier who he gave his first salute to a silver dollar. Lots of pictures were taken, and here are a few:
After the commissioning ceremony, all the family came back to our apartment, and we gave them a tour and just hung out until dinner. Dinner was at Wings 'N More in South College Station, and it was a great time with family and celebrating Daniel's commissioning/graduation & Rebecca's 17th birthday. Also, we had held off on telling people the sex of the baby until we had informed family in person, which we did here at dinner. We gave Mom & Dad Lane a gift, which had in it a blue & green trimmed bib that read "I love grandma" and some blue burp cloths, to show them that we are expecting a baby boy. We, also, passed around the ultrasound pictures for everyone to see. From here, we headed to Reed Arena for Daniel's graduation ceremony. Some of the out-of-town family members went ahead and headed home since the weather was raining/storming and his graduation ceremony didn't start until 7pm. There were probably about 900-1,000 people graduating at this ceremony, so it was pretty long and boring as you can imagine. After the ceremony ended, we said bye to family after showing them his diploma and headed home. Saturday morning, Daniel and I had a celebratory breakfast at Cracker Barrel (so yummy & great service). Later that day, we had the University Commissioning ceremony. It was a part of the 2pm graduation ceremony for that day, but before they called out the names of those graduates, they brought out all of the newly commissioned officers for each divisions of the military (71 total). They, again, took the oath in front of everyone, and then were called by name to walk across the stage and shake the hands of several military officers. It was nice, and we were able to leave before they called the names of the graduates. We took some pictures with the Rencurrel's, and then headed home. We even ended the evening with a free Roger Creager concert at Wolf Pen Creek, which is right across the street from where we live.
It's been pretty eventful lately, but it's all been a great time with family and friends. Words cannot express how proud I am of my husband for his great accomplishments and how honored I am to be his wife. We feel truly blessed and give all the praise to our Lord.

Flight Log 05-02
I am now a Private Pilot! I got to the airport at 8:00am and got all my resources in line to use for the oral portion of the exam. I checked and re-checked the weather forecasts and notices for the Brazos Valley area, and brushed up on basic knowledge that I thought I might need. Bob Hans, the FAA examiner for my Private Pilot Certification Test, arrived shortly before 9:00. Bob is a 777 pilot for Continental and in his spare time he travels around southeast Texas administering these exams - and with an examiner's fee of $400 a pop, that's some serious loose change on top of his Captain's pay.
We started out with basic requirements and limitations, which involved short bulleted answers and progressed quickly. As we moved into more open-ended questions about operations, Bob started becoming more of a teacher than an evaluator. The other instructors had told me before hand that Bob "liked to talk", which is good for me because the more talking he did, the less answering I had to do! I would give the answer, which he would acknowledge as being fundamentally true, then he started talking about the way things work in the real world. What he did more than anything was describe fatal accidents he had witnessed throughout his 40+ years of flying that involved a pilot error in the specific field we were discussing... after hearing about 10 of these stories I wasn't so sure I wanted to fly today. To put everyone else at ease, all of these involved pilots trying to beat out thunderstorms or not watching their instruments at all during critical stages of flight. He also made the point that a brand-new pilot would be safer to fly with than a guy that had his license for a year: "I've seen it happen a few times: a kid gets his license, but none of his friends want to fly with him because he's inexperienced. So he flies solo maybe once a week, then once a month, then the money runs out so he stops flying all together. About a year later his friends say 'hey, you're still alive, so you must be a safe pilot...' so he loads up a small plane with three of his friends. It's been 6, 7, 8 months since he last flew, his skills are rusty, and the plane is overloaded. Bad combination." We wrapped up the rest of the oral exam, took a short break, then briefed for the main event.
The clouds were almost overcast, but way up at 10000 feet. I love flying on cloudy days with high ceilings- the sun isn't beating in your face, thermals aren't around to bounce you, and the winds are pretty calm. I took off on a simulated flight to Fredericksburg, and before I had hit my second checkpoint I received the 'divert' command. After the diversion he checked out my instrument flying, which was over in maybe 10 minutes. He asked to see some slow flight and stalls, then go down to 1000 AGL for S-Turns. Almost everything I did today felt simplified and easy compared to the long rigorous tests my instructor's put me through on the progress checks, like trying to cross-reference VOR's to determine my location on a map with the hood on, while the plane is pitching and rolling in turbulence. When we were out over the practice area it started to rain a bit, which was a fun new experience. At Hearne I displayed my short-field landing abilities. On the first approach I came in perfect- I got down close to the ground as I came over the overrun area, an extension of the runway not suitable for landing, aiming for my touchdown point right on the numbers. I was about 10 feet up and as I crossed the threshold (a white striped designating the beginning of the runway) I got excited- this was on the money. I pulled out the throttle to bring the plane down then - go around! He caught me completely off guard! Only 3 feet up, I jammed the throttle forward. I had never been that low on a go-around before. The next approach was almost as good but about 50 feet to long... still within the test standards though. We went back to Easterwood and my soft-field landing was about as soft as could be, then I pulled off the runway and taxied to the ramp.
Before I could shut down the plane Bob shook my hand and said, "Congratulations, you are now a Private Pilot!"

Final Prog Check, pt. 1 & 2
Monday was a long day at the airport, consisting of 2 hours of oral quizzing and another 2 hours with the aircraft. Neither portions of the curriculum were completely finished today. In the air I showed my skills well, successfully navigating and flying via instruments. A new maneuver was added - on the checkout before the exam they want me to try something new? - I performed a power-on stall while in a climbing turn. A bit different and a little more hairy because the plane is less stable and more susceptible to entering a spin. Time was running out so we landed, logging 1.4 hours.
Day 2 was set for Tuesday. Due to time constraints (and class) I could only fit in the flying portion. Today was focused on ground-reference and emergency procedures. During the emergencies I spent a lot of time buzzing farmer's fields- on several occassions I brought the plane down to 50 feet before the go-around was ordered! No sooner would I climb up maybe 500', the engine would 'quit' again and I would have to evaluate my options and make vital decisions once again. With a descent rate of 500 feet/min, you get 60 seconds from the time the engine goes out until you're on the ground. Remeber the ABC's of engine failure: A-airspeed; establish best glide speed of 65kts - full aft trim. B-best field; no runways, the roads are too narrow and lined with powerlines - plenty of open fields - landing into the wind is optimal - land with the crop rows... not across! C-cockpit checks, if time permits - fuel valve on both, mixture rich, carburetor heat on, ignition switch on, primer in and locked. The engine is still out, we're committed to a landing. I really enjoyed this section as it gave me a chance to simulate what I would need to do in the event of an engine failure on takeoff. The last time my short-field landings were evaluated it was nearly six weeks ago, and I received high marks. Since then those skills were unused and got rusty! I picked up a new tip today and hit the touchdown point within 10 feet. After 1.2 hours in the air, the flying portion of my progress check was complete.
The remaining oral exam review session will be on Thursday. Today I got a call from Bob Hans, the Practical Test examiner - he had been away on a trip to London (he's an airline pilot) and said he wouldn't be available until May 10th. Then he asked where I was located... after learning that I was with Brazos Valley Flight Service at Easterwood, he asked if I wanted to meet him at the airport in two hours! Today would have been perfect for the final exam, but a plane was not available and I had a project to work on. As of right now, the test is slated for Sunday at 9am. Hopefully skipping church for the test isn't bad luck!

One more flight!
Friday (4/23) was my last scheduled solo flight. The winds stayed down and the clouds cleared just in time for me to fly at 2pm. After takeoff I made a quick run-through of ground reference maneuvers just outside the College Station airspace, then flew over to Coulter to practice short-field landings. Lately I've been struggling to get the plane down on target, and today I was landing long by about 50 feet each time. After the third attempt I was satisfied. One more technique I needed to practice was a forward-slip to landing, which is useful when you are coming in too high and fast, or need to make a steep approach over obstacles. A slip is performed by banking the aircraft into the wind about 10-15 degrees, then jamming the rudder in the opposite direction to make the aircraft fly straight ahead instead of turning. This combination of crossed control surfaces generates a lot of drag and 'turns on the elevator' as we like to call it- you really come down fast! Once over the runway you neutralize the controls and return to a normal level-flight attitude for landing. Today's flight time: 1.2 hrs
If weather stays clear I will make my final progress check on Monday. As long as the examiner is available, I will take the practical exam sometime in the middle of the week!

Long Day In the Air
One of the most exhausting flights to date. Today we covered everything from day one to present, and made a thorough check of all my skills. After demonstrating ground reference manuever proficiency (turns about a point, s-turns, etc.) I went 'under the hood' for instrument flight. From the very start I was struggling to stay on top of the controls - the thermals were bouncy today. I would check the airspeed for a second, then find I was 200' above altitude. As I was fixing that issue I caught sight of a drifting heading indicator, and the artificial horizon displayed I was in a 10 degree bank to one side. In the process of returning to my assigned heading I could hear the engine RPM's rising, and sure enough I had entered a dive and the airspeed was climbing. It was pretty warm out today too, and the air vents in the cockpit weren't doing much to keep me cool. No sooner would I finally feel like I had the airplane trimmed out, I would receive a new set of instructions. Not wanting to delay the progression of today's lesson (and having the stubborn 'Right Stuff' mentallity...) I complied without requesting a pause to get my gimbals in order. Had this been the checkride exam I certainly would have stopped for a breather! We wrapped up instrument work with the dizzying unusual attitude recoveries.
After flying blind for nearly an hour, I removed the hood and was instructed to proceed towards Coulter Field in Bryan - a new airport for the list! Coulter was northeast of my position (060 degrees) at 10nm, but when I turned to heading, nothing looked right. The airport in front was most definately Hearne, and the distance readout (DME) was increasing up through 12nm... After cross-checking my naviagtion radios, I realized that the heading indicator was about 100 degrees off from the magnetic compass- during the unusual attitude phase, my instructor had twisted the knob around to intentionally offset it and fool me. I was thoroughly confused and flying in the wrong direction for a while, but eventually I caught it. Over Coulter we simulated an engine out scenario; once it was clear that I had the runway made I throttled up and performed a go-around. After a normal approach to landing and a short-field landing (which I overshot by 120') we returned to Easterwood. I made a nice soft-field landing, setting down easy and keeping the nosewheel up. 2.0 hours today; I was exhausted. This was the last 'lesson' with an instructor, next is a solo to work on weaknesses, then a final progress check before being signed off for THE exam!

Test Prep Begins (04-12)
All syllabus requirements have been completed! All that remains for FAR Part 141 certification is to reach the minimum 35 hours. I have three flights in preparation for my Private Pilot oral and practical exams, which should occur sometime next week as long as my schedules don't get delayed.
Today was flight #1, a solo hop to improve my skills for short and soft-field operations. Today's winds were straight out of the east, so I got some good crosswind practice. After simulating a short-field takeoff to leave Easterwood (which is fun because its like flooring it in a car!) I flew up to Hearne. The first approach I simulated an aborted landing that required a go-around, then a normal approach to get a feel for the winds and aircraft handling. Next I made a soft-field landing, keeping the nose up as long as possible, then came around for a short-field landing. After coming to a complete stop on the runway, I turned around to back-taxi and takeoff again, this time simulating soft-field procedures. For a 'soft' field, like turf or dirt, you try and get the plane off the ground as soon as aerodynamically possible. Once airborne, you level the plane and accelerate close to the ground to pick up speed before climbing out. Back at CLL I made another short-field attempt, because the test standards require you to land on a target within a +/- 200' zone. 1.1 hours today.
Next is a flight with an instructor (Wed 4/14) to review pretty much everything; he will designate areas that need improvement, and I will add those to the flight plan for my final solo flight. (Sun 4/18) After that I have a mock-test with a chief instructor (Mon 4/19) then I will get endorsed for the practical! (TBD) If an examiner is available on the 21st, I will complete the course exactly three months from the date of my first flight.
