Happy Halloween!

Here are a couple of "ghosts" from Halloween past. Did we have fun or what? I hope all of you have a great Halloween and a wonderful fall season. Isn't great? Have you seen more beautiful leaves?

One year, Shannon and I decided to be "pumpkin heads". I do still have the overalls in case I choose to put a pumpkin on my head again. Anyway, the hole that I cut for my head was too small and suffocating so I cut a bigger hole and the result was less than desirable (it kind of reminds me of that one dude with some sort of cap on his head from the Fat Albert cartoons) but I still had fun. That's what I get for having a big head! The following is the next year (I'm guessing) but wow, give some girls some vinyl, spray paint, some time and you get some sweet looking super heroes! I loved this year. The costumes that we made were so much fun. We just went from party to party showing off our awesome looks! Shannon as Bat Girl, Me as Wonder Woman, Meg as Poison Ivy and Nancy as Cat Woman All I can say is Happy Halloween! I wish you all many years of creative costuming (someday I will return)! I would really like to be Wonder Woman again, maybe I'll make Dave be Superman.

Guess what I did?

Yeah, a couple of months ago my cute sister-in-law decided to go skydiving and talked me and my mom into it! I usually try to do most things once by the way. I flippantly said I would go and filed it away, until the day before!

Yikes, I was scared on the car ride to the airport. But from then on, I was surprisingly peaceful. I was even peaceful as I stood on the edge of the plane looking down knowing that I was about to plunge head-on toward the earth. My mom even noted how calm she felt as she watched her daughter jump out of a plane! The experience was amazing. It was beautiful and we all will probably go again. My mom giving the thumbs up. She paid for the picture package, I couldn't afford both the jump and pictures. My mom may never do it again so she paid to document the event. We might be able to convince her otherwise. My mom jumping out of the plane. Look how beautiful O-Town and surrounding areas look. She Rocks! These two definitely have the RIGHT STUFF! I'm on another planet. I can't believe I did it. I think I would do it again, although there is a bit of anxiety with that statement. So who is in next September?
