i'm trying to be more regular in my blogging again so here's the latest update. as my (ugh!) 30th birthday approaches on wednesday i have decided to celebrate all out for the milestone. to start carrie and i went skydiving yesterday (pics to come!) and it was AWESOME! we have more or less been talking about this for a few years and decided it would be a great way to celebrate turning 30. it was definitely nerveracking when we hit around 11,000 feet in the plane and more so when i was at the door with the sky in my face and my instructor telling me to jump. i screamed insanely for an instant then realized just how totally amazing it was to be free-falling. we fell for about 50 seconds then he opened the canopy (parachute) and we took about 5 or so minutes to get to the ground. i even got to steer a bit. a very very cool experience and something i just may be crazy enough to do again! wednesday kory, me, my mom and carrie are going to dinner and there's celebrating to do when meg is up next weekend (though it's a surprise for now so i don'[t know what's in store!). oh, and in 2 weekends i celebrate again by doing the traithlon...so it's a great start to a new decade!
p.s. here's a link to the pics!
