Skydiving

Mitch has wanted to go skydiving since we met six years ago.  He has tried to go several times over the years, but every time the plans fell through.  But not this time around!  His officemate, Andrew, organized a group from work and they all headed out to Skydive Long Island on Sunday.  I went along for the ride, and it was not nearly as nerve racking as I expected.  He had a blast, and I am so glad that he finally got to go!  Below are some pictures that I and the photographer/videographer took. Note: I am not the one taking the pictures 13,500 feet in the air...just in case anyone was concerned.

Johnny Cash by Kelley McRae

Our good friend Kelley McRae is a fabulous musician.  She and her husband Matt are touring the country playing various venues and house shows.  They recently played a couple of shows in Lynchburg, VA and their host shot the below video.  I think it turned out beautifully!  Check out her website here; she might be in your hometown soon.  And if you like what you hear, you should definitely buy her music!

Empire State of Mind

Last night was a beautiful, clear, spring night here in NYC, so I decided to redeem the last of my Valebirthtine's Day gifts.  Have I told you about Valebirthtine's Day?  My birthday falls five days before Valentine's, so our first year of dating, Mitch developed Valebirthtine's Day.  I get a gift each day from my birthday to Valentine's Day.  It makes me feel so loved and cared for!  This year, my gift on Valentine's Day was tickets to the Empire State Building.  We were going to go on V-day for a very romantic, Sleepless in Seattle evening, but the weather was terrible...so we decided to hold off until a better night.  When I viewed the weather for this week, I knew that Friday night was our night, and it was perfect!  As I mentioned in this post, I love a cityscape, and the view did not disappoint.  We had a fabulous evening admiring this city that we have grown to love.  Enjoy the pictures!
