Salmon & Drawings @ 8:54 PM
Hope everyone had a great New Years. I am looking forward to 2013 and achieving the goals I've set. I actually got up at 6 am for the mileaday challenge!
Carissa (
polishmyheart) came over today. She's never had salmon. So, I made this
simple salmon recipe. It really is easy but in my opinion, a tad bit bland. I prefer the honey mustard and breadcrumb salmon.
We also watched an episode of Girls & drew a few pictures.

this simple and creative idea. I love how easy and personal this is. We spent sometime drawing random doodles. I am going to photocopy them and send the copies to Carissa.
Happy Wednesday!
Oh, and in case you're wondering Carissa enjoyed the salmon.

taking a leap @ 8:46 PM
Sunday Quin, Carissa, & I went skydiving. This was Carissa's second time but Quin & I's first.
We arrived in Beloit, WI around noon. Our check-in time was at one, but we had to sign a few waiver forms & watch a video. It's weird signing something that has YOU MAY BE KILLED on it.
I was fairly nervous all day, but it didn't really hit me until our name was called at four. Once, I got the harness on, I started to panic.
However, when I got into the plane, I suddenly felt calm. The only scary part going up was the door being open and none of us strapped in!
I was second to go. I thought I would have a moment to watch the first guy go, and contemplate what was about to take place. But next thing I know, all I can see is white. I couldn't tell if I was upside down or right side up. You don't notice you're falling right away at least for me.
The free fall was over a minute. It does sort of hurt and it's freezing! I was relieved when I felt the tug of the parachute. Sadly, my eardrum ruptured. Oh well, my fault.
The experience was incredible. And I guess, you get a discount for being a second jumper if you put down $25 that day. My brother turns eighteen next month and has been wanting to do this. So, my mom and I are going half-way. Me and him will jump together.
Glad to be safe on the ground!
love, sam!
