Flying - Just Like Having Wings

My parents have awesome friends.
Toni and Terry Poulsen!  They are super friendly and nice!  Terry owns a plane.  And he took my dad and I flying one day!

It was INCREDIBLE!  I've flown in planes before.  But nothing is like flying in a private plane!  So small and you can see everything from windows all around you!

After flying for a little bit, Terry showed me how to turn the plane and go up and down.  Then he let go of his wheel and said, "Alright!  It's all yours!"

WHAT!?  I took the wheel and started flying the plane!  It was SO COOL and so fun!  I had a freaking blast.

Maybe I'll get my piloting license one day. That'd be so cool.

Meal Planning

In September I went to live with my Grandma to help her out.  A big thing that I did to help was cook meals for her.  This gave me the perfect opportunity to learn how to meal plan and do it for a long time!

I really enjoyed learning how to meal plan.  Finding recipes that I'd like to make during the week, shopping each week for the ingredients I needed, and then following through with what I had planned to make!  It took a lot of work.  And not to mention a lot of searching on pinterest for recipes that'd work for my grandma (as she has diabetes).  But it payed off!

My grandma has benefited a lot from actually having healthy meals now.  Her blood sugar isn't all over the place anymore, so that has been a huge blessing!  And she's (slowly, but surely) gaining some meat on those bones of hers! 

When I move, I hope that I will be able to continue to meal plan and make time for cooking.  It's hard when life gets busy and you have things to do, but it is definitely something I want to continue doing!
