DZ and I had been talking about things we&#8217;d like to do in our lifetimes that we just never got around to do, me far more than her.  Now I am all for the whole romanticizing those special moments in life but the guy who I was going through to do this just jacked the whole thing up. The big surprise which i put off as a night out at a dark blues bar with some wining and dining almost came about since our pilot never called me back to confirm until the very last minute. Unfortunately by that time I had DZ in such suspense that I broke down and told her what it was since it was the night before and no one had called me back.  There was a moment of disappointment, but then I guess it was the thought of it that brought the smile back to her face, and then even bigger when a few hours later the pilot finally confirmed the flight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a rel=\"lightbox[Valentines Day At 7000ft]\" href=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/gallery2\/d\/26462-1\/P1000373.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\"

of heights it&#8217;s more or less a fear of falling from great heights, or a distance where I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll have enough time to pull some crazy idea outta ass in time to save my ass from schmacking the ground, other than that I&#8217;m cool.  5 am comes quick when your about to do something you&#8217;ve never done before and always wanted to do, and sleep is a far distant item until it&#8217;s really time to go.<\/p>\n<p>Our flight was smooth sailing all the way, after assisting the pilot with filling the balloon we cruised through several neighborhoods waking up people to a huge brightly colored balloon floating at times merely a foot or two from their rooftops and windows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a rel=\"lightbox[Valentines Day At 7000ft]\"
