A quick update...

Just a quick update - in case anyone follows this, and doesn't follow me on fb.  Today, I jumped out of a plane.  Number, um, something or another on my list...the scariest thing by far, and TOTALLY amazing!!!!

Brette and I went to Skydive Snohomish.  Brette jumped tandem with Sonja, and I jumped with Todd.  This "trainee" Josh helped to get me "geared up" - and he was CUTE!!!!  hahaha.

Anyways, I was terrified, which you can see on the video, but it was AMAZING!!!  I said I want to do it again, but now that the rush is wearing off and the reminder of how terrified is setting in, I'm not too sure.  I think I'd like to try it one more time, but we'll see.  It was an awesome experience and I'll definitely never forget it!!!!
