Just a Taste

My mom is the greatest. I'd just like to tell everyone. Most people that know my mom know its true. I got a sweet early Christmas present this morning. Mom knows a few people in the law enforcement community around here and managed to set up a ride for me on the Sheriff's helicopter this morning. For a while I didn't think it was going to happen. When I went to bed the forecast was for a huge snow storm to cover the state in the morning. It held off long enough to let us fly though. We went down to KMart on 90th south early this morning to watch Santa fly in for the Shop with a Cop program. Kids get to go Christmas shopping with a cop. We are standing in the parking lot and in comes 130 cop cars with their sirens blaring and lights flashing. Each car has a kid in it. It was pretty cool. So here comes Santa. He lands, runs to greet the kids and mom and I run and jump in and off we go. It was awesome to be in the air again. Its been since last January since I flew. No I didn't get to fly it but that was OK for me all I wanted was to be up in the air again. Visibility wasn't the greatest cause of the dust from all the wind but it didn't matter to me. Now I cant wait even more to get to Ft. Rucker and start school. Merry Christmas to me!
