Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

So, a little while ago I was at my Grandparents house and they were watching a show about crazy things that people do and basically near death experiences. Then- a skydiving experience came on and they said something like, why would anyone do that? Its just stupid. This got me thinking about a last year...

I have actually always been a very cautious person. While I was going to school at BYU Hawaii, my cousins and some friends were all going to go skydiving, and I decided I wanted to go. I asked my parents for permission because I knew they wouldn't be too happy if I didn't ask. Well, since they know me quite well and know that I am afraid of heights and often pass up the opportunity to go on fast and high roller coasters, I am sure that they thought that I wouldn't actually go. All of my siblings just kept saying: WHAT? JESSIE went skydiving? Mom and Dad never let us go...

Well, all I can say is that I wouldn't let myself think about how high it was or how insane it was, until my legs froze up right before we went towards the door while in the air. Good thing I went tandem. I am not sure I would've been able to jump otherwise:)...


Like I said- no one thought I would actually do it.

One of my favorites

So- I have been so so busy at work lately and I haven't been very good about editing my own wedding pictures but I promise they are coming. I was promoted so that is good news. I LOVE my job and I love doing being a photographer. So, I took this picture forever ago, and I like it, so I thought I would go ahead and share it! It is an orchid and I just like the way it looks.

And that makes 22.

My sister in-law Jessi just had her 5th girl and I just wanted to say congratulations and I can't wait to see our adorable new niece! That makes 13 nieces & nephews on my side and 9 on adam's so we have 22 nieces and nephews and they are so FUN!! We love hearing the things they come up with and being caught up on all of the fun things they are doing since we don't get to see them as much as we would like to.

So- congrats to Jessi & Dave and family!

Okay, Okay- I will update my blog.

Where do I start? I guess it has been quite awhile since I posted. So, you can start checking my blog again because I have broken the habit. Lets start with.... HONEYMOON!
We had such a blast on our honeymoon! It was so nice to spend time with eachother and just have fun!After the reception we went to a bed and breakfast in Provo called the Hines Mansion.

It was so nice, comfortable, a lot of fun and a great breakfast!
Then we took off to Colorado for another reception and spent a few days having fun there. After the reception on Saturday, we went on a 7 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera- Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas Mexico. So fun. Our room had a balcony and we definitely fell in love with the ice cream and took many trips to the ice cream machine.
I put up a lot of pictures.

Right when we got into our room!

The next day on the boat...

In Puerto Vallarta we did the ziplines.

IN Mazatlan- we watched a show- walked around & shopped, Ate, and swam.

Here- we are doing our favorite thing on the boat- eating.

In Cabo we kayaked out to Lovers beach then rode jet ski's around in the ocean, then ate salsa and had my favorite drink, Manzanita- its a type of apple pop. SO good.

At the Buffet, our servers, and our last couple of nights...

Overall, we had such a good time and it was so relaxing and fun. I LOVE being married to Adam. He is so fun to be around.

I would highly reccomend a Honeymoon to anyone!
