what did you do over the weekend?

above is a question I've heard many times in the past three days. it's fairly normal to hear coming out of a weekend, but my latest answer has been making heads turn and eyes go wide.


my answer has plainly been, I went skydiving! yes, this past weekend, I headed up to Ogden with 9 other friends and we jumped out of a plane from 12,500 feet. it was so much fun, it was unreal! I wasn't that nervous until we were about to jump because it hit me that it was real and the only way I was getting off that plane was to jump, but after about 30 seconds I was fine and so excited again. it also helped that I didn't have time to think, once the plane levels out, it's helmets and goggles on and then you file out in 5 second intervals. next I was floating, spinning, cartwheeling, flipping, and then the parachute came out and i was gently gliding to the ground (of course there was an instructor with me, I was just there for the ride).


it was exhilarating to say the least and I am so happy I did it.

we didn't get any air pictures because it was expensive and skydiving isn't the cheapest adventure around, but we got plenty on the ground so hopefully soon I'll post some because my neon pink and green suit was a site to see.
