Life long dreams, etc

So, a couple of months ago (? -- it's good that I post so often), I was given a raise and some new responsibilities at work.  I'm getting maybe an extra $150 a week in my pocket over what I used to make.  Sounds awesome, right?  Well... it is.

I decided to put that money towards a life-long dream of mine.  I started taking flying lessons.  I'm going to get my PPL-ASEL.  With about 40+ hours of flight time, I'll be able to fly Aircraft, Single-Engine, Land.  All by myself. 

So far, I've only flown a grand total of 6.4 hours, so I've only scratched the surface of what's out there to see and do, but even just doing that is incredible.  There's really nothing like it, soaring thousands of feet above the ground in a plane the size of a (very) small car.  I so hope that I get to keep flying, as it's far and away my favorite thing that I've ever done.  If you ever have the opportunity to give it a try, I highly recommend it to anyone.
