Small Plane, Big Fear (in the wife's case)

My greatest fear is small planes. You ALWAYS hear of small planes crashing...hello, DJ AM and Travis Barker???!!! Anyways, Jeremy and his boss, Bob, got this GRAND idea of chartering a small plane to Columbia, Missouri to check out some property to possibly build. Which, by the way, is a great idea...college towns are always so fun!! I don't put my foot down on anything, but this, almost made me put my foot down (right, baby?? :) I was so scared that this plane was going to crash. Fortunately, Jeremy and Bob got there just fine AND saw the Montgomery's (aunt, uncle, cousins) which was an added bonus!!! They were in town doing a college tour for Chase to see Mizzou!!! Jeremy got back Friday night around 8:00...not bad for a 6 hour drive which became a 1-hour flight! I was hoping that Jeremy would HATE the flight...but no, it's all he can talk about lately :) He even got to sit in the co-pilot's seat BOTH there and back and wear the headphones to hear air-traffic control talking to the pilot...haha!!!

Now Bob's latest kick is buying a plane and having Jeremy get his pilot's license....might have to put my foot down on that one :)

A Great Weekend!

Don't you just love it when you have one of those weekends that is perfect?? Although it does make it EXTRA difficult to wake up on Mondays...

Well, we had one of those weekends--- The weather was fabulous, we hung out with all of our friends on Saturday night and then spent a "family" day on Sunday. On Saturday night, we met all of our friends at US Pizza and then we went to this new wine bar in Fayetteville called "The Wine Cellar". They have a machine called an enomatic and it's basically like a wine-vending machine. They had about 25 different wines all hooked up to this machine--you put in your pre-paid card (you can put whatever amount you want on it at the bar) and insert your card and press which wine you want. They have 3 different buttons--a tasting size (a couple of bucks), a half glass size (3-10 bucks) and a full glass button (7-25 bucks). A little straw is in each bottle and it pours you just the right amount! Then, it just deducts that amount off of your pre-paid debit card. Jeremy always says I'm a "Marketer's Dream" because I love the latest/greatest of whatever...I was in heaven!! Of course, I spent WAY too much money drinking WAY too much wine but it was so fun to sample! Here's the link to the machine---I guess they only a have a handful in the world and who would think Fayetteville would have one? So up-and-coming....way to go, F-town!!

Then on Sunday, Jeremy and I drove out to Devil's Den State Park. It's only about 30 minutes away from the house and it's gorgeous---loaded with trails, cabins, a lake, swimming pool, paddle boats, canoes, etc. Of course, P and B went with us and they LOVED it!! "So well behaved" were some of the comments we got from fellow hikers. (They obviously don't see them at home :) The trail we were on, Yellow Rock Trail, led us to this gorgeous overlook!! I, of course, got a little nervous when Jerm stood on the CLIFF with Piper---Ben and I were at a safe distance.

Here are some pics:

Trying to get Ben to sit....Ben and I as close as we would get to the cliff...
