My husband Jaime is going to be in for a big surprise... Next Saturday he will turn 50 and I have organized a parachute jump for him, he has no idea! He thinks that we are just going for a walk in the mountains, but the truth is that there will be two instructors waiting for us with specialised equipment to carry out the activity. We'll be jumping from a height of 4,600 meters, with video and photo package included to immortalise that moment. I am sure that this experience will bring us even closer together, and we will find it hard to forget. Plus, Jaime loves excitement and he's always telling me he'd like to go skydiving, so I guess he will be very happy when his wish comes true.

Thinking...
