SkyDive Hawaii take #2

Our friend A. is turning 30 and wanted to celebrate in a BIG WAY. What better way than to get a group of your friends together and go jump out of a plane. I was so excited when the invite went out. I mean I love love this couple more than ever and couldn't wait to hang out with them and then to go sky diving again on top of that. Hell yea i'm totally in :)




They had the whole back area set up at SkyDive Hawaii with tables and chairs, we all brought a dish and even had a grill. Burgers, dogs, chicken you name it, it was all there. I knew a hand full of people that were there which made me a bit more nervous about jumping. About 12:30ish my friend Tara showed up and we were able to switch planes around so I could be on the same one with her and that made things alittle easier and less stress full.


I was so excited and pumped to jump again and just couldn't wait. I got all harnessed up and my heart wasn't even racing yet.


I boarded the plane and we took off and then that's when it hit me that I was really doing this AGAIN. I told Wyatt (my jumping buddy) that I couldn't do flips or lots of turns because last time I almost got sick. So do you think he listened to me at all......NO. As we are getting higher in the air Wyatt asks me if I wanna go out frontwards or backwards....."ummmm I don't know which is worse" I ask him. He says "well if you go out face first you see what is coming and if you go out back first you don't know WHATS coming." OH DEAR LORD, what have I got myself into again. So the time has come and every one is "jumping plane" (prior to us boarding I told him "I don't wanna go first and I don't wanna go last") well guess who's turn it is finally US. Yup that's right we went last, not on purpose just so happened to be the way we all got on the plane and sat down.
As we walked to the door Wyatt turns around with his back to the door and counts to 3 and BAM. There we go flipping out backwards doing flip after flip. It was sooooo incredible I loved every minute of it. It felt like we were free falling allot longer this time around than the first time. I don't know if it was because I kind of knew what to except or what. Once he pulled the shoot he handed me the cords to steer and turn us around in circles. It was allot harder than I though it would be, you really have to put some mussel in to it.




I had so much fun though and can't wait to go back again. YUP again, I'm going with my favorite Sarah and her husband and one of our other friends N. this next Saturday. I tried getting them to come today but N already had plans, so next weekend it is. It was definitely a great way to spend the day. Chatting up with some great friends and grilling and just relaxing in paradise on a nice sunning Saturday ......oh and jumping out of planes of course.
I managed to get it videoed this time and love it :)

Free Fallen

Today was my friend Tara's Birthday & her friend Jarod's birthday was yesterday, so to celebrate we did something alittle daring. Something a few people might call crazy. We went Skydiving down off Dillingham. I was stoked and so excited about going, I couldn't wait.



I met up with them both at Skydive Hawaii @ 10AM and we were on our way. We filled out the paper work, with in seconds after I was in my harness and on my way to the plane. I didn't even have time to think twice about what I was about to do. On our way up I probably asked Joey (aka my jump buddy) a million in one questions. He kept avoiding half of them and told me not to worry about that. It was probably for my own good.




Once we reach the jumping point, 14000 feet high in the air later, I found myself standing on the edge of a perfectly good airplane wondering what I was doing. I don't remember the jump after that, I just remember falling as fast as ever and hoping and praying we were going to be ok.






A few seconds went by, which totally seemed like forever and Joey pulled the chute. Thankfully it came open and all was well. You could see all the way from Waikiki and Diamond Head to Kaena point. You could see to the other side of Oahu and so much more. Joey called it his office, he kept saying welcome to my office.





Today was one of the most amazing things I have ever done in my life. I can not wait to go back and do it again. The view was spectacular and the rush you got from free falling was priceless. It was totally worth every bit of nervousness that I had. You have the best of both words the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. Per~perfection at its finest if I do say so myself.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA & JAROD!!!!!!!
