SKYDIVING

I WENT SKYDIVING!!! IVE BEEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN CLIMBING!! I GUESS I GOTTA RIDE A BULL NOW RIGHT?
This past weekend Daylon and I went to Plano to visit Mikasa and Michael. Back in September Daylon bought me skydiving for my birthday....(a gift he undoubtedly wanted for himself so why not gift it to the wife?). We figured that we would take the opportunity while we were there to use our vouchers. I have never had any desire to jump out of a plane whatsoever. But I couldn't back down now. Well we get there and they get me all geared up and then they say that Daylon can't because he is a little over the weight limit. So....I have to dive alone. I really, really wanted to back out but I couldn't. I went up and once we were in the air it was the wierdest thing...it wasn't scary at all. It was awesome...I loved the freefall part but then it was time for the parachute ride and I was fine for about the first 2 min and then I got soooo motion sick...I kept almost throwing up and even had my jumpsuit unzipped ready to puke in it!! When we got down they decided to go ahead and take Daylon. I was so happy that he got to go as well because it was way cool.Us after we had signed our lives away Me getting into the plane with George, Larry and the camera guy

You are so crazy and brave. I could never be that brave. It doesn't surprise me though. Do you remember doing "Swan dives" or something like that in elementary school? You always did them the best.
