    Aw, seeing your pictures makes me want to do it again! I only got to go twice, but, I spent the weeks after each dive staring up at the sky! It stunk being "stuck" on the ground after that. That's awesome that you did it, congratulations! (The main difference in my story and yours is that I really was scared to death when I jumped, I'm terrified of heights!)

    They say it's a great way to get over your fear! Did you find that they were right? Are you still afraid of heights?

    I'm suprized to learn it took that long to float down. That would have been nice - long enough to enjoy it!

    Are you crazy!?

    So cool! You look so happy and excited in the pictures. I love it! I'm so glad you shared this journey with us. Was this something that you have always wanted to do?

    Wow Kimmy. What a neat thing to do. I've often thought about it, but
    my fear of heights wins out. I wish I knew someone who believes jumping
    helped them overcome the fear. I just love this picture. Look like you feel
    terrific.

    Yes Robin, it's something I've always wanted to do.

    I guess I just always assumed it would be too expensive and that I'd want to go with a friend or group, just didn't have anyone who would!

    Then at my wedding reception Dale asked Andy who said no way but told him to ask me. I totally jumped at the opportunity.

    Great pictures! What a brave woman you are. I dont think I could ever do that. I imagine it does give you quite a rush.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    Good for you! Where are the pics of Andy jumping? I'm way too chicken to try something like that - I get the heebie-jeebies in a high-rise building!

    Those pictures are amazing, it's SO cool that you actually jumped out of a plane. I really would consider doing that, with someone else of course. How cool! I loved the pictures of you in the air. Do you fly down fast?

    Freefall feels fast because it's just that...a fall. But once the chute opens, it doesn't feel fast at all.

    I would have too! That's something I've always wanted to do too but can't find a soul to go with me! If you can do it alone...so can I
