Flying
Starr’s Facebook status when I woke up this morning:
On my way to fly with a marine!
My thoughts: What?! Who?! Where?! How long has this person been flying?? You didn’t ask for my permission!! (I know, she doesn’t have to ask for my permission anymore, but still…) How long until it is safe to panic??
I still don’t know most of the details except that she is fine, she had fun, he’s been flying for 8 years. From what I gather, it sounds like it was some sort of recruitment activity for the Marines.
While I was trying to remain calm, she had a blast. She was so excited. He let her fly the plane and he did some tricks. She said “I did two barrel rolls! Maybe three…I had my eyes closed!”
The first thing she wanted to do was talk to my dad, her grampa, who was a marine pilot and later a commercial pilot until he retired.
Second thing was to sleep off her motion sickness.
That would definitely get my heart jumping, flying with a Marine. *gulp*
What an incredible experience! Lucky girl.
I know…don’t you love it when you find out all of these important details about your daughter…on FACEBOOK?

It’s a new world. I guess it’s better than nothing!!
I’m not that brave! Glad she had fun!
I’m not that brave either, it just about killed me waiting for her to check in! I would have felt a little better if I had known exactly what she was doing rather than making up stuff myself.
With FB & Twitter I’m always a nervous wreck reading updates on what my 26 year old is doing.
Although, some things you just gotta do when you’re young. And I think this is one of them!
