Shelley and Joel are a fine example of that theory.
Well, that was Joels dream the young man was very impressed by Tom Cruises Top Gun.
Top Gun made flying jets look like a lot of fun,recalledJoel.
And the introduction to flying there made me want to pursue it further.
A few more years later, they finally met after completing their pilot training in different states.
She left the room and this other coworker was just looking at me smiling.
And I said, What?
And he could tell.
And I had never dated anyone taller than me.
Shes an athlete, shes a natural leader, and just an impressive person.
But when truelovestrikes, such details dont really matter.
Joel was so taken with Shelleys beauty, he was afraid she wouldnt want to date him.
However, the urge to return was stronger and she strongly considered becoming a commercialpilotjust like her husband.
It happened way faster than I thought it would.
Its been amazing, gushed Shelley.
It was meant to be.
Once the kids had flown the nest, Shelley felt the urge to return to flying.
They both praise each other for their expertise and unique skillset while on the job.
She looks to me and relies on me for the experience that I have.
So her knowledge is fresh.
And she also has that wisdom and judgment, shared Joel.
Youre saving up conversations until youre home.
Its like now were making up for lost time, Joel expressed his joy.
It was a wasted time, because it was just me, and I couldnt share it with her.
But now were together when were on the road its so fun.
Because every night on the road, its a date night together.
Shelley hopes that her story will inspire other women who are dreaming about returning to the workforce.
After all, its never too late.
But does it get boring or frustrating to spend so much time with ones spouse?
Not at all, believe Joel and Shelley.
If you love doing something, why not do it with the person you love?
Would you ever work with your partner?
