Guess what?! I went flying on Saturday! I have flight blocks scheduled for every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays and last Wednesday I wasn't able to go up in the plane. But on Saturday, I got the chance to go up! It was really cool...my instructor and I got in the plane and he told me how to do everything. Then he let me taxi out to the runway which was really weird at first because in planes you steer with your feet, so it took a little to get used to. But it was still alot of fun! Then it was time for takeoff and he showed me how to do everything and took off in the plane. Pretty much right after we got off the ground, he gave the controls over to me! I was really nervous before but once we were actually up there and I got the feel for it, it wasn't bad at all! So we get up to about 2500 feet and I got to do straight and level flight, turns, climbs, and descents; it was so much fun! But, the weather was cloudy and windy on Saturday and boy did I feel every gust of wind :) It was really turbulent and the plane was bouncing around like crazy! Towards the end of the flight, I was feeling a little queezy, but so was my instructor! But the clouds looked so cool! There was one point where I was flying right above a cloud and through layers of clouds and it was SO beautiful! It was so cool to fly over those..I can't even describe it to you! We also landed at another airport and my instructor did the landing. But after we landed, he had me taxi to the end of the runway and gave me the choice of whether or not I wanted to take off. I was all over that! :) So, I pushed the throttle to full power and we started to roll down the runway and all of a sudden we were off the ground and climbing! I took off and was flying the plane! It was an awesome feeling! I couldn't believe while I was up in the sky that I was flying a plane! It was a great experience and definitely made me more excited to learn how to fly!
So, with that, I just want to say thank you to all of you, for praying and supporting me! I love you all so so so much and I wouldn't be able to do any of this without ya'll! I love you and soon I will be able to take you guys up in a plane!! :) Love you!!!!!!!

Hey Mo, How very awesome! I was praying and praying for you on Sat. Now, I'm not sure how soon I'll be ready to go up in a plane with you, but I was thinking yesterday how cool that would be! Maybe you could fly us all to Florida when your dad buys you your own jet, otherwise you would have to make several trips to get us all there!!! Hee! Hee!
