Sky Diving

Every year since we’ve met my best friend Kristen and I have done something thrill seeking for our birthdays, this year we will be sky diving. It will be the first time for each of us which makes it that much more exciting. A typical jump involves individuals exiting an aircraft (usually an airplane, but sometimes a helicopter or even the gondola of a balloon), at anywhere from 1,000 to 4,000 meters (3,000 to 13,000 feet) altitude. Our trip isn’t booked yet because sky diving season doesn’t start until mid May, we will be aiming for sometime in late June. I am so excited for this to take place my only concern is what will top this next year. It’s funny because our personalities are so different Kristen is more reserved, while I’m outgoing and daring but she’s the one that comes up with all these trips for us. Every time we sign waivers I take the time to read what they aren’t liable for while she signs on the dotted line and moves right along. I will be writing a follow up to this blog when we get back from our dive. Wish us luck!
