Hit the mark!

Pilots. They train and train and train to fly. They train to put that little itty bitty front tire right on the white line that runs down the middle of the runway. They train so much, that I bet the pilot can do this with his eyes closed. They train and train and train to park the jet just right so the gantry (that narrow hallway that keeps the wind and the rain and the snow from getting to you) reaches the perfect spot on the airplane. Hmmmmm. Yesterday morning I flew to Salt Lake City to witness a remarkable event. More in a minute about that! Well, I think the pilot that was flying my plane practiced so much, that just after the plane landed and everyone is getting their stuff, the pilot asked everyone to sit back down, close the overhead bins and buckle up. Hmmmmm. Were we at the wrong gate? I know we flew into Salt Lake International Airport... I saw the Great Salt Lake! No, we were at the right gate, we were 2ft short! OOOPS! So everyone sat down, buckled up again and the plane moved. Barely. Well, for a jumbo jet 2ft isn't very far! Next thing I know, "thanks for flying Delta, hope to see you again, time to get off!"

Now where was I going with this?

Steven and Jolee!

What a wonderful day! They both looked like they had practiced and practiced for this day. Well, they did!

 

 I know they practiced for this big day, because the Moms and Dads were their coaches! I know they are proud of them!

Yep... Lots of "practice"!

They even know how to "work" the crowd. Presidential material?

But not enough practice! Steven still needs help with his tie! That's ok. He's got a lovely mirror to look at next time he needs "help" with his tie!

What did we learn? Practice makes perfect every time! No matter how much you practice, you're going to come up a bit short and when you do, you keep going and becomes perfect. Isn't that what we are all striving for? To become Perfect? Steven and Jolee have taken that next step to becoming Perfect.

Way to go Steven and Jolee!

I have more pictures from the wedding day. I am working on uploading them to my Picassa and Facebook accounts. When I'm done, I'll post the links!
