X-mas blog

Happy holiday season to all my readers. Blogging has been slow lately, but so has the flying. 5.5 hours is all I will fly this month as I am thoroughly enjoying my time off at home away from work. Thanks to Micah and the federal government, the holiday season will be at home this year. :) !!!!

As with most companies out there, mine does not believe in paternity leave. Well, at least any sort of paid leave. In order to spend any time at home with the family after the baby arrived, I had to take an un-paid leave of abscense. It was either take FMLA or sit 9 hours of ready reserve for most of December including X-mas eve, X-mas day and New Years eve. To me it was a no-brainer. Family is infinatly more important than work. You cant put a price on being home with the family for the entire holiday season. Personally, I cannot wait to see Jack's face in the morning when he see's all the loot Santa brought. It will be awesome!!

Happy holidays to everyone! (especially to those serving in the military overseas and anyone who has to work and be away from their families)
