fly in a hot air balloon

I’ve been wanting to do this for a really long time, but it’s expensive, so we haven’t done it yet. I went back to school this month, and since I haven’t been in school for 5 years (which makes this even harder) my husband and I made a deal to help keep me motivated when I get discouraged. If I get through this class, I will get a reward (don’t know what yet), but if I make an A in my class, then we’ll go on the hot air balloon ride! So, I’m really motivated to get that A now!!

My husband had thought about getting me this as a gift before, but it’s pretty pricey ($450), and we were low on funds at the time. I really want to do this one day though! There is a place about 5 minutes from my house, and I think it would be awesome, because we’d go right over our house and my parent’s house, where I grew up. I remember at my parent’s we used to talk to people and wave as they flew over the backyard. I always though it would be awesome to be one of those people. Then I can wave to my mom and dad as we fly by!
