Sky DIVING!

I just got to the jump site and I'm a little nervous.


Here is our group ready to rock and roll for Sky DIVING! We had 13 people total, most of us first time sky divers.


Waiting for our turns to jump. Notice I am busy trying to find my happy place while Matt and Bethany are relaxed and enjoying life.


All suited up and ready to go. Turns out my leader has a wife and kid...two reasons to live. I feel like I'm in good hands.


Should I be concerned that the back of my harness says "DANGER"?


Walking to the plane with my life-saver, Patrick.


These were the fools jumping from my plane. We were the last 3 in our group to jump.


Almost to the ground. Notice my feet are up and I'm ready to land




All done and safely on the ground. I would gladly do it again and again!

Colleen and Matt's Wedding

Colleen and Matt's first dance!


Mother of the Bride and Maid of Honor. Aren't they the cutest?!?!?!


Me, Grandma, Mom, and Aunt Jerry.


Rachel and Joe. Rachel...looking good.


Love birds celebrating the big 9 month anniversary. WOO HOO!


Joe and I on the dance floor. We were good...but could not compete with Ben and Bill.

Octagon picnic table

Here's an octagone picnic table I made last week for our deck. We saw one at the state fair that was made out of recycled milk jugs for $2400.00. So I decided to try make one with treated lumber for $100.00. I made some mistakes along the way but I got the job done in two days. I just need to put some water sealer on it.

Indiana State Fair 2009

This year Matt and I traveled to the Indiana State Fair for food and fun. We at corn on the cob, pork tenderloin, funnel cakes, ice cream, chocolate covered bacon, and a pizza cone. All in all...a good year.


Matt eating a pizza cone...a new state fair food for 2009.



This is one of my favorite state fair signs. Interesting because Indiana has one of the highest obesity rates in the U.S.



Look at the idiots in line for chocolate covered bacon. A state fair favorite!



Worlds largest pig and only 4 years old! I love the pig barn!



Watching the Lumberjack show at the state fair.



Winning pig family at the fair. CUTIE PIES!

Killer Whales

Matt took video of our whale watching tour...for those interested!
