A flying date!!!

A few weeks ago, Sam took me up on a date, so he could practice some take offs and landings...and just because it sounded like a fun, spur-of-the-moment kind of thing to do.... :)

testing the fuel



us!!! :)



Waiting in line to take-off



on the runway!!!



flying over Addison



it's amazing to me how many of these houses have pools in their back yards!!!


The Dallas North Tollway & The George Bush Turnpike interchange



Plano water tower









I was trying to get the sunset and the tail....oh well, this is the best I got...




121 & 75


I think cloverleafs look neat from the air... :)





Pastures



McKinney airport



sunset





Sam did 3 (very good) touch-and-gos!!! 







more sunset pics





there were some lower storm clouds blowing in, but still high enough that we could still fly VFR, thank goodness!!!











Sam filling out his log book after the flight



and, He took me out to Braum's for ice cream on the way home!!!




I can't even begin to tell y'all what a blessing and encouragement this man is in my life!!!
I love him more every day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Random happenings.....

 Warning: this is an extremely random post....
not a whole lot has been happening, and I've been taking even fewer pictures....sorry! I'll try to do better! :)

Here are a few though.....

Holding little Danny when he was two days old! 



He is such a little doll!!!!




Most girls get taken 'out' on dates....My Sweetheart takes me 'up' on them!!! ;)
On a whim one Saturday evening, My Darling husband decided he needed some flight time....




When Danny was a week old, we went over and played some games and took turns holding him....




Dad and his Grandson...Somehow, I won't mention any names, but Danny got his first taste of ice cream that night.....shhhhhhh ;)



The Brake pads and a caliper needed replacing on the truck, so Sam and I spend last Sat. evening at the 'Big' Schatte's to fix it....and stayed the night! That was really fun! I think Mom Schatte, Sam and I stayed up till nearly midnight talking.... :)






Another random tidbit: the pool at the apartment is getting some work done on it....like you really wanted to know that.... ;)




In other news....there has been a lot of work at the hanger, so Sam has been working some later hours than normal....But we are very thankful for his job!!!! :)


Oh, and I might be helping out with a friend who had preemie twin boys that are hopefully coming home from the hospital soon!!! Aren't they just adorable?!?!?!!!!!!
