Skydiving......sort of

Steve surprised me with simulated skydiving for my birthday.  I was a little nervous after taking our pre-flight class (even though there was a large group of adolescent boys before us).  The Deegans joined us, but they hadn't done it before either.  Even though I was timid and tense (as the instructor put it), I had a great time.  Luckily they split your time into 2 rounds, so you watch yourself and learn from your mistakes after the first round, and then improve the 2nd time.  

Ready to go (the boys rockin' the pinks and purples)

 My actual birthday was a low-key day with the family rocking out to my new Wii game - Just Dance 4.  We all had a great time jamming.  Even though the mid-30s are looming, I feel great - skydiving, dancing like a tween, and even ran at the gym.  Damn 30s won't slow me down!
