I love Alaska Airlines



To help catch up on my life I will talk about something new with each post. Today I want to talk about work. Things are great. A lot people from outside of the Seattle station thought that I wouldn't like it...they are wrong! I love it. I love that there are a bunch of people willing to make trades. As it works right now I work 2 double shifts a week, maybe 3 times a week. I love how busy it is. In Denver there was SOOOO much down time. Not in Seattle! It is fun to be working in the New York City of Alaska Airlines. There is so much always going on! Just the other day I was checking in people and I just ended with a passenger on one side and turned to my other side to welcome my next passenger and then a voice said, "Hello, I'm Mr. Bill Ayer." (The is the Charmian and CEO of Alaska Airlines) I said, "I totally know who you are, I am a bit of a stalker! I love this company." I went on to remind him of my history of meeting him and my 2 furloughs.

A couple of weeks ago, I met Drew Barrymore! I love Seattle!

The other thing that has been WAY fun was the "Alaska Airlines Fly Girls Drill Team". It all started when we performed at the Torchlight Parade. Then we were such a hit they had us perform at 3 company meetings. It was one of my highlights of the year!

BTW - I am not the Santa in this photo. This was taken in Alaska.

I took a year off


I am not making big promises, however, here is a new post after a year.

We are now in Redmond, WA. I am so happy to be living in a place that I have always wanted to live. I will give more details but needless to say, we live in a house that is like a Thomas Kinkade painting. Here is a photo that we took on a rare snow day. It was taken from the dock in our back yard. The schools here are amazing. Our ward is great! More to come....
