Flying Around!

Okay so... My friend Eric Smithenry has recently purchased a plane. (The Blue and White one in the background). And when he told me that he did this I made him promise to take me flying when he took it up for the first time. So a couple Sundays ago I got a call at about noon asking if I was ready to go up in the air. :) I was pumped. Now Eric doesn't have his private pilots liscense yet so I couldn't actually fly in his plane with him but I rode with David Read, and Eric and his instructor were together and then Jon Zumbahlen and David's wife were also up in the air in Jon's plane. So after we got everything ready to go we took off. I was so excited... we headed towards Erics house because some people were standing outside waiting to see us fly over, we then headed towards Newton so I could see my house and then we started doing some tricks. (If that's what you call them lol) first we did a roll... which was very cool. then we did some weird named one were you do a have roll and then go into the backride of a loop. That was really neat, and last but not least we did a full loop that was amazing but my stomach started to churn after that one haha. Overall an awesome experience can't wait to do it again. Now to this picture down below believe it or not that is me in the passenger seat of the closet plane. Davids wife took this picture and it ended up on the front page of a flight newsletter. How cool is that! You can't really see it here but if you go to http://t18.net/Newsletters/Newsletter%20141.pdf you can zoom in and kinda see better! I just thought it was pretty neat!

Snowmobiling!

So like I said I headed out after supper last night to go play in the snow. There was about 5 or 6 four wheelers and to my surprise the rig I was riding on was a SNOWMOBILE. You don't know how excited I was because I have never been on one before. So we bundled all up face masks and all and took of to go play in the snow. We had a blast... it took me a little while to get the hang out riding on the back of a snowmobile its very different than just hanging out on the back of a four wheeler you actually have to hold on all the time... lol I slid off a couple times but we weren't going fast and it was just funny. But it was a great time and we are doing it all over again this afternoon!! I love snow... except for the fact that my little car doesn't do shit in it! Oh well!

Snow days...

When I woke up this morning the first thing I did was call time and temp. lol I don't know why it's not like I have any school to attend, but I was just curious. :) But since the roads are bad I made the extremely mature decision not to travel to work today! ha So I've been hanging out on the couch all day. Took a nap. I seriously considered bringing stuff in from my car and cleaning my room a bit, but that didn't happend. Now mom's making beef and noodles and stacey is coming over for supper. I'm going to try and talk mom into making mashed potatoes to AND THEN.... another night of fun filled nonsense in the snow is to come! Can't wait. Hope everyone else had their fun in the snow today!

Come Visit Me @ The Office!!

So... I have recently started bartending over in Effingham at The Office! I have only worked 2 times so far, still on training, but having a blast! So everyone needs to come visit me sometime that I am working!
