Wonderful evening with friends!


My best friend lost her stepson this past January in a senseless car accident in Dallas. He was 22. Her husband is having a hard time to say the least. Well, this past Saturday night they held a memorial for him at a sky diving place in Temple. My friend's husband sky dives and 4 days before his son died, he was going to go sky diving with his dad for the very first time.

We drove out with my friend with her 2 boys and Connor. Travis (her 5 yr old) and Connor are good friends and in the same class at school. We got there and saw my friends husband jumping and floating down to the ground! It was really a lot of fun to see the plane take off, then 20 minutes later, see a person emerging from the clouds. We had a chance to talk to some of her stepson's friends, hear stories about him, and watch a very touching tribute to him provided by the funeral home.
The boys ran around for a good 3 hours and let me tell you, boys have a TON of energy! They ended up with orange glow sticks and that just made their night. We drove through McDonald's on our way home and left our friends house around 10:45. Connor was asleep by 11:30 and slept until 10:30!! What a blessing for me!
I am being pressured by my friend's husband to jump, we will see how convincing he can be!
