it's a bird...it's a plane...NO, it's chad!!!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAD!!!


Since I decided to jump on the blog-wagon today i thought i would add some pictures from our very busy summer to update what we really have been doing since Mary Carlisle's been born...slowing down is not one of them :)

Chad celebrated his BIG 30th birthday on June 9th...so i figured reaching such a milestone in his life this birthday needed to be a memorable one! One of his lifelong dreams is to learn how to fly a plane.... Soooo being the great wife that I am :) off to Greenwood, Mississippi we went where my h.s. bestie Meagan and her husband Wade live to help make Chad's birthday wish come true! (and spend some time with her of course!)


This is a pic of the 4 of us before he got into the Cessna 182 to take his flying lesson with the pilot, Bill.

Chad is giving a thumbs up...He is SO excited and ready for this...Me on the other hand, I am very happy to have two feet on the ground :) But I sure love Chad's adrenaline rushing ways...
There they Go....
This is when my palms started sweating...and then the pilot decided to do something with Chad in the plane called a "fly by"...where they literally got as close to the ground as possible without touching and went as fast as possible....OH MY GOODNESS!!! Talk about a "pee in your pants" moment...Even Chad and Wade got nervous...AGH!!!

Thankfully he had a great time and a SAFE landing...we finished our trip by enjoying a wonderful dinner at the Alluvian Hotel. Another one of my wonderful h.s. friends April and her husband Xan joined us as well....It was a wonderful night and HAPPY BIRTHDAY for CHAD!
