No Joke!!!

Ok, this may be dumb to most people, but I am so excited about it. I have this list. A list of things that I want to do in my life. A few of the things on it are things like, going parasailing, skydiving, I really want to be the voice of a cartoon character, writing a fiction novel, and going heliboarding. Any way, these are some of them but you get the idea. Some of them may come true and some may not, but last night one of the things on my list came true. I have always wanted to capture a bolt of lightning on film. Have you ever seen thoughs calenders that have neet pictures of things. They always have a picture of lightning and I think it's cool. It may be dumb but I have always wanted to get a picture of a lightning bolt. I don't have a fancy camera or anything. I know that if i did I could leave the shutter open for a long time and have a better chance, but I don't have that. I just have what ever I have with me at the time. Any time there is a lightning storm I will try to take a picture of it. One time I was trying to use my cell phone camera for like an hour. I have tryed so many times to do it, but it's hard because you don't just have to be quick to take the picture, you have to hope your pointing the camera in the right direction too. Any ways last night Mike and I were driving home and there was a storm in front of us. I got out my camera and assumed the position. As the lightning struck I pushed the button on the camera as fast as I could. I expected to look down as usual to see that I had pushed it to late, but no. There it was on the screen of the camera. I had captured the lightning on the screen. i couldn't believe it. I looked at Mike and started yelling, "I DID IT! I DID IT! I can die happy now. Just kidding I have more things on my list." But I was really happy. I know it may be dumb but here is the proof of the blessed moment in time. I AM SO HAPPY!!! HEE HEE HEE!!! : )

Congratulations! Now the rest will be easy, right? I expect skydiving to be the next thing I read about.
