School, Monsoon, cupcakes!....oh and new callings!

Well for starters, Eli took the written part of the Instrument phase on Friday and yep you guessed it.....HE PASSED!! Wha-hoo! He is so close! Now he will take the oral and practical.....and will be DONE taking tests!! He is supposed to start teaching a student on Thursday but we run in to the problem of him supposed to be taking his tests Wednesday or Thursday this week! But it also depends on the weather.....lovely monsoon weather!! We have been having T-storms the last week or so. It is so muggy!! Reminds us of the good ole Tulsa days! HOT and Humid! The girls love playing out in the rain with their umbrellas!
One thing about this school that we have learned is that is run differently. Seriously the phases, how many parts to each phase.....its mind boggling and changes often! Its difficult to explain to others and quite honestly I get confused at what happens when, where....etc! Also, some things have the domino effect. The weather isn't good, planes down, so many things are in the big picture and when you add the chief or ass. chiefs ideas or how they think something should happen, it gets messy! So I apologize if you have no clue what is goin on! But just know this....WE ARE ALMOST DONE!!!!! And he just has to teach for awhile to gain his hours so he can get on a airline! There. Clear as mud?
Cupcakes. We made some yummy cupcakes yesterday and ate them in the rain. It was so much fun to watch the girls enjoy them! While they ate, Eli tried to get a kite going....the girls loved it!
And drumroll...........new callings! Yes, we are no longer flying under the radar. Eli has been called to be the YM deacon advisor. He will do great, as long as he can organize his time to make it all work! Good luck hun! I have been called as a Primary teacher "floater". It will be fun to be with the kids again..... I have been in primary since we were married and enjoyed going R.S for these last 3 months! The primary is very large and I fill in wherever needed! It will be fun and challenging I'm sure! There must be a different reason for us to be here. We thought it was because of the housing, but yesterday we found out that there is/are more reasons why we are here! Fun.
Other than that I hope the next post will be saying that Eli has passed his final tests!! K- cancel that......I am having issues with posting pics, hopefully I can get those up next!
