I SURVIVED Freezin for A GREYT Reason!!

Hi everyone!!! I hope you all had a great holiday vacation with your friends and family. Things have just settled down here and I just got back to work in the gallery and studio.

I wanted to update and say a BIG, HUGE THANK YOU to all of my friends, family, and companies that sponsored my jump into Lake Michigan on New Years Day for FREEZIN FOR A REASON!!

It was honestly the BEST TIME! I am not quite sure what our total that we brought in together but we should have those totals soon! Last year AmericanGreyhound.org had 6 jumpers for their first year, they increased that number to 17 this year – only their second year to jump! I was prepared for the absolute WORST and was pleasantly surprised that it just was not near as bad as I imagined. The worst part was definitely coming out of the water, making your way back to your towels and then trying to get dressed.

My hubby and my friend Ryan took plenty of pics and my girlfriend Janelle and hubby also helped with the camcorder so we could make a video out of it. I’ve posted the pics and the video and the links to them are below..
