SO on Monday I finally fullfilled a dream I've always had, I went...... SKYDIVING! It was amazing. I can't even describe how cool it was. It was the adrenaline rush that I love. It was insane. I was very nervous though and you can totally tell that by my face in all the pictures. But I'll be going again thats for sure infact.... Mom, Dad and Kelly are coming too! (yes I just decided you guys are. You have no choice). Anyone else who wants to just let me know. The bigger the group you get to go the cheaper it is. You'll all love it and it's safer then you think. Promise.



SO once they had us all in our harnous uniform thing we had to sit around for a min until they took us to the plane. Lets just say the walk from the unit to the plane made me feel like I was walking to the line of war. Everyone is cheering and nervous. You should have all seen mom. She was shakin more then me!


This is "Fisher" he is the guy I tandomed with. He was a very cool guy. He kinda looked like Heath Ledger to me so it was awkward since Heath is dead and all.




So this is me....... jumping out. Yes out of the plane. It was amazing you do like a back flip right as you hit the sky. It was crazy. You can't hear anything. It's like complete silence. I was screaming pretty loud though, and you still couldn't really hear it.

I think this is the coolest picture ever. I love how you can see the plane. It was intense.


So once you start freefalling you fall for about 60secs. at 110 MPH. Then the chute opens and you fall for about three more mins.


We sat and spun in circles over the great salt lake. Pretty view though.

I tried to stick out my tongue I think "fisher" might of gotten a little bit of my spit on him. haha.


This is right as he pulled the chute open. Look at my legs. The skin is all flappin in the wind. haha. I got some flab!


Right as you land he tells you to lift your legs. It was actually a smooth landing I just sat on him. That was it.


But I survived and loved it so much. It was amazing. I can't wait to go again. and thank you mom for coming and watching. Now you know it's safe so you'll come! Well hope some of you join me next time! Love you guys.

You are crazy Chels, but looks like you had an awesome time! I've always thought it sounded fun...but I think I'm too chicken to try it. Maybe I'll be on the ground with the camera. :)
