LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS

enjoy the ride

i love roller coaster rides. in fact, i love heights! the first time tom and i went on a date, i took him to subic to try bungee jumping. he was game to do it despite his fear of heights, and that's when i knew he was for keeps. hahaha...

when we were still all in new york, i reminded tom and aryanna that when they get to california they should go to one of the amusement parks and try some of the rides. aryanna was very excited, but tom had second thoughts, but thanks to my evil eyes, he promised he would.

aryanna is just like me when it comes to rides — the scarier the ride, the better!
