Don't marry her! It's been my experience that as soon as t=you marry your girlfriend, she turns into a WIFE!

But keep her around, she sounds like a good one

Anyhoo, great story, keep up the good work, and find your local club. Once the weather is nice, go visit them. They will have you flying that 60 size plane in no time.
