STS-124

I am a very lucky girl! I just got told that I won a Space Flight Awareness Award for STS-124. That means that I get to go see the launch and spend a few days out at Kennedy Space Center as a VIP - plus Lenny gets to come with me! That's two launches in a row! I am so excited. I can't wait!

This award means a lot to me too. I have put so much time and effort into work and especially the Space Shuttle Program. I can't tell you how many weekends, holidays, late nights I worked before return to flight and during the missions. I've not taken vacations and missed a few things like weddings...I finally feel like I am getting recognized for some of it. Though I have loved the work (with the exception of a few hard days and a little stress) I really appreciate getting this opportunity!
