So someone gave me and another girl from my church the most awesome graduation present EVER!!!

For those of you that don't know, I am now done with high school. (the other just finished graduate school at u of o)

My present was a ride in a hot air balloon.
Cessaries came and spent the night last night. We then woke up at 3:00 in the morning so that we could wake up and leave the house at no later the 4:15. We arived at the launch sight at 5:00. and 5:30 the five balloons going up that day were preparing for launch. I was on one called ridge rider. Our balloon almost capzied upon lift off. It was awesome. We then flew for an hour and a half and landed. Our landing was bumpy because we had so much field and do to a tree line, we had to come in very fast. The team that had been chasing us had to chase the balloon in order to hold it down to the ground!!! We all helped to put the balloon away, and we drove to help chase down a run away balloon that missed the origional landing sight and got caught in a circle wind. A man I had a good time. Well I must be off. I have things (such as sleep) to catch up on.
