I did it! I finally went sky diving and I'm alive to tell you about it and it was GREAT!!!
You can see the plane wing in the background...
I was strapped in and had a blast!
It really does feel like you are flying...
And then suddenly, they pull the cord! Thank God 'cause I would have forgotten since I was having soooo much fun!
Coming back down to the ground is such a peaceful, incredible feeling. I envy the birds of the air.
Luckily, the cameraman did not catch the following 3 seconds after this picture was taken! I had my feet up, like he told me to, until the last moment, thinking we were on the ground. He wasn't! I ended up on my knees and then my face! Not too bad though, just a little bruise and a scrape. I'm always getting into scrapes though!
Speaking of which, after the jump, I went shopping for a bit, and when I came out to my car, the battery was stone dead! Luckily the security guy was able to help me out and then gave me a ride over to where I decided to take myself out for dinner. Nice hat, eh Mom?
At dinner, they brought me a "Birthday Tiramisu," which was very nice of them. A very nice waiter guy then sang Happy Birthday to me with his spectacular voice. (Kicking myself for not having video taped it) I hated to tell them I really do not enjoy Tiramisu. The manager came over and, noticing I had not eaten any of my tiramisu, save a bite, she asked if anything was wrong with it. I admitted that I did not like Tiramisu (I think I am the only person in the world who does not...) and she was so sweet as to bring me a raspberry and lemon italian ice cream!
So all in all, it was a very, very nice birthday. Thank you to everyone who called, wrote, texted, and sent their best wishes for my birthday. They came true, and it was a truly unforgettable day.
Happy 29th Birthday to me!

You are soooo refreshing. I just love your spirit and enthusiasm and well, you are just a delight.
I would imagine everyone around just found your joy that comes from your heart . .totally infectious.
Ah, Laura, it is good to be you. We wouldn't want you to be anyone else.
I'm so glad I saw your mom's post this morning.
You know, I think I might want to go sky diving. You make it look fun!
Wow!! What a way to celebrate. Happy Birthday, Laura. Kate Q:-)
People will never accuse you of not enjoying life!!!
You are soooo brave!! I would love to sky dive in my dreams...then if I didn't keep my feet up I could just 'wake-up'!!!
Make that two people in the world who don't like Tiramisu...you and me!
I'm glad this was only the 'first time' you celebrated 29 -- I think it difinitely bears repeating!!
The warmth of your personality and smile has no trouble crossing borders and reaching all the way into Canada!! We love you over here too!
PS. Jill...maybe forget the skydiving...your hat would fall off!
