Well, today was a rather interesting day. I don't remember if I have ever been this proud of my brother. Today he flew his first solo flight in a little plane, something he has wanted to do for quite some time. For weeks, the only conversation that has been buzzing around my household has been flight-oriented, which is something that I am not too fluent in but that I nonetheless enjoy.

My father has been a pilot since he married my mother so our family is not new to this kind of thing. It has been a rather turbulent week, between attempting to find employment, getting yelled at by my parents for not being employed, missing a very crucial person in my life, and having a close friend attempt to plant one on me mixed with migraines and a screwed up knee, this was a very good way to end the week. So, to all of you who are pilots, watch out for my brother, he's going to be one hell of a fly boy.
