Ring, ring! Who's there? Destiny? I've been expecting your call

There's a guard.... I'll snap his neck.

The fabulous Allison and I ready to hop on the plane

 the view from the plane..beautiful ain't it??

 ready to take the leap..not knowing what to expect..

so sick 

 pure joy :)

simply amazing. 

 just landed.

 can't believe i just jumped.

such a rush!

While in Moab, I was approached by Allison to go skydiving while we were down there. I jumped on the chance..I've wanted to jump since my dad went for his birthday last year. It was SO worth it. The jump was such a rush. The pure adrenaline rush, fear, and excitement was all smushed into one as I fell.

The view=stunning.

the jump=amazing.

worth doing it again=YES YES YES.

 I had such a fun time in Moab this past weekend, it deserves its own post. I met some great people and became closer to those I already knew. Thanks to all who made it a blast!

epitome of courage...

I feel totally blessed to have the people in my family that I do. They have taught me so many important values, I would be nowhere if not for them..Here are two of them that have been in my thoughts and prayers lately.

POPPI :

 my awesome grandpa! He's currently going through the fight of his life right now with stage 4 non-hodgkins lymphoma..and it's spreading :( boo. What's truly inspiring about him is the fact that I haven't heard him complain ONCE! Man, what strength he must have to put on a brave face and just continue to live life to the fullest. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for this amazing blessing I have. I hope one day, when faced with dire circumstances, I too can stand up and trudge through everyday thankful to be alive and surrounded by family. I love you Poppi! Stay Strong!

OMA:

This amazing woman has gone through hell in her life ( pardon my french ;) ) She grew up in Holland during WWII and the reign of Hitler throughout Europe. She saw many good people lose their lives at the Nazi's hands, and almost lost her own. She survived a concentration camp..She survived coming to a new country and not knowing the language. She continually fought to stay alive, and pursue a better life. She struggled, and fought her way to come to America ( LEGALLY..no fence jumping..tee hee) to live with her sweetheart. She is so strong and is so loving. She has remained so strong throughout my poppi's battle with cancer. I wish that when I have my own family I can be half the lady she is...

well editing and more to come...but for now...MOAB!

countdown...

10 minutes till I walk the pooch
3 hours till I go to work....almost the weekend...almost the weekend :)
2 days left to help get the house spotless for my little brother's baptism
11 weeks till I'll be here.... my absolute favorite place in the whole world... 

(Doesn't that picture just capture the essence of summer??)

hopefully I'll be in one of these by then....that one is just too cute :)
