friends in high places

i mean that literally. our friends wes and christy hartley (wes is the media pastor at lake pointe) have a little plane. little as in four seats, one prop, and tires no larger than a bowling ball. anyway, wes is a pilot and together, we plotted to surprise my dear husband chris with a little christmas light sight-seeing, via means of aforementioned plane. so, last night we headed to rockwall airport (who knew rockwall has an airport?!) and took off for an hour and a half flight over the entire dallas/fort worth metroplex. it was absolutely beautiful, and with chris being on the media team, the event had to be video taped. i hope you enjoy the little movie we made of it. also, a very special thanks to christina miller, also on the media team, for watching wes & christy’s kids while we were out on our little adventure! pardon the shakiness - it was a little windy!

I will say that it was an absolute blast! In fact…I’m so glad you had video because I’m not sure I saw any of that!!

It was pretty great for me because I was able to help out 2-sets of friends at the same time. ;-)
So glad y’all had a blast!!

very cool. I went up in a little plane once, let’s just say it didn’t bode well for my insides.

Oh yeah baby!
That is the way to go Christmas Light watching. In Telford we just hop on the John Deere and ride around. And I thought WE were high tech! ;p

What a sweet experience. I am jealous. Come to Austin and call me! I’ll bring the video camera, you bring the friends with the plane!
