I still can't believe it

My Valentine's Date was unforgetable!! As of 2 days ago I thought we were staying home to have a quiet night here. The day before V-day Brian told me he got a babysitter- thanks Cindy! So I said ok, and then thought we'd go for dinner around here- maybe the Mill or out for Chinese. Yesterday, Brian told me to dress up. So I thought-ok he just wants it to be more fun and get dressed up. So we drive and headed north- in no direction I thought we'd go. So I just sat there along for the ride. We pulled into a parking lot of a company where our friend Ryan works, so I thought- oh good, we're hanging out with Ryan and Amie. Brian turned off the car and about 2 seconds later I looked to my right and saw this...



Yes- we were going in the helicopter!! Ahhhhh! I almost peed! I was half totally excited, but half scared out of my mind! Our friend Ryan is a pilot so he and Brian had been planning this for months!! The ride was so beautiful. It was so smooth! We flew right over our house- crazy! I felt like I was on a roller coaster at first. I admit, on the way there I got a little nauseaus, but I made it. It was cool to see everything from the sky. We flew into Indy and had dinner at Buco de Bepo. Then we shopped a little at the mall. On the way back we circled downtown. It was beautiful seeing all the lights. And we flew right over the new Colts stadium- that was for you Keetha! I tried to get pics, but they didn't turn out! The ride back to Marion was 22 minutes, and wonderful. All in all, we had a great time with our great friends, and had a once-in-a-lifetime date!!!












Thanks Ryan and Amie!
