10 Years Ago (Feb. 1998):
I was in the MTC ready to go to Colombia. Wow, It's been that long? I didn't keep a journal but if I remember right I got to Bogota on February 10th. Ten years ago today! I heard that the Bogota airport was in a dangerous part of town. When I left the airport there were a lot of people waiting outside, most of them grabbing at us trying to take our bags. Then we got into the mission van and went to the Mission Office. Late that evening I heard police sirens and a lot gun fire from just outside. It really set the tone for the next two years.
5 Things on my To-Do List today: The day is over, so I'll tell you what I did today:
1. I went over to Flight Safety and worked on checklist flows.
2. Came back to my hotel room and studied CRJ limitations.
3. Went out for some air.
4. Came back to my hotel room and studied the electrical system on the CRJ.
5. Watched the NASCAR Shootout.
(tomorrow I'll probably to the same thing, Except watch the Pro Bowl insteed of racing.
Snacks I enjoy:
I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Nuked Marshmellows and Grapes.
Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1. Make sure my whole family was taken care of.
2. Take care of my kid's, siblings', nephews' & nieces' educations were paid for.
3. Form a charitable organization that wasn't corrupt.
4. Buy a CRJ (that plane is amazing).
5. I'd flight instruct. It's really fun and rewarding teaching others to fly.
6. Wake up, the reality is....well I just don't see it happening.
3 of my bad habits:
1. I take REALLY long showers...I think I ran the hot water out of the Hyatt Hotel in Atlanta.
2. Most nights I kick Korri in my sleep......a lot. Sorry sweetie ;)
3. What ever I bring into the truck, stays in the truck! It's usually a mess.
4. I avoid the dirty draipers
5 places I have lived:
1. Provo, UT (most of my time was past here)
2. Spanish Fork, UT
3. Springville, UT
4. Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (in northern Florida, next to Jacksonville. Very nice place to live. Just a few blocks from some beautiful beaches....I'd like to get back there some day.)
5. Houston, TX (the arm pit of the USA...It's actually not bad. I just didnt like my job all that much and that's the ONLY thing I did there. Hopefully I'll start to like it now. There are a lot of neat things there.)
5 jobs I have had:
1. Cherry factory in Payson.
2. Frandsen's Rec Center. I built motorcycles.
3. Bill's Appliance. 9 years, I really miss working with my Dad and I like fixing things and learning new stuff.
4. Standardization instructor. (Jacksonville Beach, FL) I trained new flight instructors and stuff.
5. Training Center Manger/Chief flight instructor. (Houston TX). Same company as in FL. It was a promotion to the most difficult thing I've had to do. ATP asked me to go to Houston and establish a new location. It was about 3 months before I was able to take a weekend off.
5 things people don't know about me:
1. I was thrown into fence and had a gun held to my head while being robbed on my 21st birthday. It's actually a really funny story. They took everything I had but a big bowl of rice I was carrying (It's also a long story)
2. I'm scared of heights, but I love flying.
3. When I was on my mission I was impressed with the fact that I'd marry somebody that went to my high school. But I also felt that I'd marry somebody from California. I forgot about that until after Korri and I got married. We went to the same high school and she's from California.
4. One year I played trick for Halloween. I got on my motorcycle and chase older kids down the street until they'd drop their bag of candy.
5. I've wanted a gorrilla costume for years now. My plan is to ride my motorcycle around town with it on. Maybe race a motocross race with it on. Korri laughs at me but some day I'll be laughing at her with a cool gorrilla costume on.
Where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years.
5 years: I see myself with a couple more kids. I want to get on with Continental mainline by then. They're a good airline that is well managed, right now anyways.
10 years: Watching my kids grow, Korri and I will be enjoying the benefits of traveling. Hopefully I'd be with Continental flying international trips with enough seniority to either be a flight instructor within the company or a Designated Pilot Examiner for the FAA.

Those were some good stories. I would have never guessed you had such a thing for gorilla costumes.
You have a cute family and such an exciting life flying planes! It is fun to read about the family and see what everyone is up to!
