I'm flying Jack!!











And flying is what I did!! Another BIG part of my week long trip home was to go skydiving. Breanna and I had made a plan that when she turned 18 we'd go skydiving, when she turned 21, bungee jumping, and 25 is base jumping. We have also added a trip to Greece when she graduates from college. We have such fun plans don't we?! :) Anywho, we ended up not being able to go skydiving over Christmas break (which is when her birthday is), so we made a plan to do it this summer. And do it we did!! My mom was freaking out (because of the video they make you watch before about not suing them if you die and the waivers you have to sign, and because the place was total hippy) and my dad was jealous. We told my dad if he lost enough weight we'd go with him again!!! We of course both opted to pay for the pictures and the DVD!! Sooo worth it. My jumping partners name was Blane and he was HILARIOUS!! He had a million and one "dad jokes", as we call them. Then when it came time to jump, he said he was going to count to 3 and then go, but went on one!! He also had fun spinning us around a million times and then spinning us after our chute was open while we were gliding down (which ended up making me nausea). We jumped from 14,000 feet and free fell for 2 minutes!! It was the best 2 minutes and $175 dollars I've ever spent!!

Total ECLIPSE of the Heart!!

The Girls: Breanna, Amberlyn, Ashley, a friend, Jenny, and Mikkelle
Waiting for the movie to begin!!
Surprised the theater wasn't full because the lines outside were CRAZY!!!
The sisters sporting our Twilight paraphernalia!
Our random gas logo we couldn't stop laughing at!!

Okay, so the title doesn't really have to do with the song,but it definitely has to do with the show. Thus the word Eclipse in big letters. I went home for a week this summer and one of the BIG reasons was to see the midnight showing of Eclipse with my little sister. It has become a tradition with us!! We go to all the midnight showings of the Twilight saga. She decided to invite some of her friends, which made it all that more enjoyable as they had fun screaming out and being young. We decided our favorite line is "Let's face it. I'm hotter than you." and that we would like Edward's personality on Jacob's body, so we're team Jacward!! They also had a fun question answer period before the movie began and had 3 couples come up and act out the scene when Edward first tell's Bella that he's a vampire!! Nana and I wanted to do it together because we would have rocked it, but they had to have a girl and a guy!! Boo!! The movie I think is the best one of the 3 soo far!! Excited for the 4th one to come out. The gas picture we thought was funny cause on our way home we stopped for gas and a gas truck with this slogan was printed on it!! Gotta love the randomness of it all!!
