Skydiving Addiction


 I can't get enough air. I'm starting to feel like a serious airhead because I'm addicted to skydiving.

I wanted to jump since the age of eight (thanks to Cliffhanger and those airhead guys who jumped off Colorado cliffs) and now I'm doing it at 24! Awesome!

For my birthday (July 31st) I jumped 10, 000 feet. I couldn't breathe for fifteen seconds. I thought I was going to die. My whole life flashed before my eyes. I have it recorded on tape. I loook petrified!



My friend jumped at the last minute with me. She is incredible. She was silent in the film. Understandable given the circumstance.

The guy asked me if I would do it again. He didn't know I already lost my mind way back when.

And Guess What? I did it again in October.

Too bad Jersey Shore Skydive closed for the winter I would've jumped below twenty degrees! Yes it's that bad.

I aspire to jump alone one day. Pray for me.
I aspire to base jump one day. Ask God to restore my sanity.

There's nothing like breathing two inches from the clouds. There's nothing like flying above the birds. The feeling of invincibility, power, defying gravity makes you feel in conquerable.

I guess that's why my partner thought he was a god.

I'm not that silly. I know the maker of the heavens and earth. When I jump I feel closer to him and his majesty.

I thank him for making a tiny speck like me. To not only make me but to put up with me and love me is incredible. I serve a amazing God. The adrenaline rush, the craving inside soul yearns to connect to his creation. He is my natural high. I don't need drugs. I don't need alcohol. I don't need a man to feel giddy, I just jump and I'm there.

The experience takes my breath away...


I hope my future husband is a dangerous Christian. I am.

SEXY IS...




SEXY IS…Now, I lived long enough to know clouds are not large portions of cool whip floating in the sky, and that parents weren’t created to make your life miserable, and surprisingly Reality Television is actually not reality at all but filmed socially challenged rejects with a script. And being wise enough to unveil a few of life’s mysteries I decided to continue my unmasking with the most mysterious and challenging of them all: MEN.


Ripples down his abdomen, bulging biceps, toned muscular legs, mixed with a smooth complexion, pouty lips and come hither eyes all wrapped in a James Bond suit use to be my definition of S E X Y. I love when a man’s tight abs create a maze when water flows down his chest. And I’m not alone. Women swoon over the deep purring whisper of a man’s voice teasing their ear. We all blush when a good looking guy in any uniform smiles our way. If we happen to snag one we show him off to our girlfriends in pride and if our friend is the fortunate catcher of the Adonis we secretly wish the catch is a rotten one.

A golden tone man in a three piece suit with dimples to match sure can make my heart skip a beat maybe two but I ponder is his sex appeal just swagger for the conquest or is there an outlasting substance hidden underneath his cuff links?

Unfortunately, most are just sparkling crystal that fade after time and leave you wondering what made them so attractive to begin with. And then there are some who may not have had a definite sparkle but instead overtime they shine like diamonds.

Here’s to all my SEXY men who are true to their word.

Sexy is telling a woman you are going to give her the world and mean it. The effort is enough to make her smile. (Guys we know your not Superman but we appreciate when you try, then it is more than just a corny line)

Sexy is showing off your treasure, the love of your life to everyone you know. (That way we know there is no one else in the picture, and of course that you love us and recognize the rare jewel that we are)

Sexy is having class. We live in a world of rump shakers and violent trash talkers it is amazing to know there are men out there who still treat respectable women like ladies and disassociate with women of a lesser standard.

Sexy is standing outside a crowd. It always makes me do a double take when a man chooses to march to the beat of his own drum and not of coworkers and friends. (Peer pressure? After twenty three get over it!)


 Sexy is being hater resistant. Being a great guy sure has its advantages and disadvantages. Be sure to discern all those who give you trouble just want to be like you or the female perspective, just want you. (But by then you will be already taken. Bye haters)

Sexy is having faith. There’s nothing sexier than to see a man on his knees praying. A man of integrity believes in a higher power who gives him strength when he is in need and self control to refrain from kicking you know what from those that test him (See above)

Sexy is being a fighter. By all means walk away from your everyday back biting and occasional rifts with your former ex. But there comes a time in every man’s life when he eventually has to lay the smack down on an unfortunate victim of ignoritis. This will make your woman proud to have a man that is no punk and who is willing to fight for their relationship.

Sexy is being a BOSS. Your sweetheart asks, "What are we doing today honey?" You respond, "Uh, I don’t know, what do you want to do?" Duh. Being a head of a corporation is not the only leadership position that this title is given, it is rewarded when a man is the head of his household, makes wise and accurate decisions to better his relationship with his wife/girlfriend (like know where to take her out on a date), and is in control of his life and future. Being a BOSS is having an intricate purpose and making strides to obtain it. (I love it when a man takes charge.)

Sexy is being a man. All in all, a good father, an encouraging friend, reliable coworker, respectful son and romantic endearing husband make up the mechanics of one truly sexy specimen. Sexy is not using your good looks to sleep with a pretty girl, or experience to take advantage of a desperate housewife (yes it’s not just a series it happens), or seduce an innocent virgin with practiced lines and deceitful charm. Sexy is waiting for her until she is ready, no matter how much your body craves attention. Sexy is being innovative and thoughtful, intelligent and wise.

After dating for six years I now discovered my problem, the guys I have been dating are not sexy enough!

Now ladies, if you find a guy who meets at least one of the categories hold on to him. He has great potential, if not stop browsing in Bridal shops he hasn’t arrived yet!!

From now on that’s my kind of guy. SEXY. ;)
