Yes…I got into a perfectly good plane and jumped out of it. And it was awesome. Since the jump I have probably said the word “awesome” at least 1000 times but that is the best way to describe it.
I was supposed to jump at 2pm. The day was gorgeous – sun was shining, barely any clouds in the sky, very hot…but very windy. I ended up having to wait until almost 6:30 for it to be safe enough to jump. The hubs and I just hung around and chilled. I kept waiting to be nervous and it just never happened. Not waiting around, not getting suited up, not in the plane…nothing. The only part that freaked me a bit was in the initial free fall. It was really hard to breathe and I just wasn’t expecting that so it scared me a bit. Once the chute is deployed, it is completely peaceful and just amazing. I paid the extra to get both pictures and video and I am glad I did - the quality of both the pics and video is amazing. The pics I posted here don't do them justice as all. The guys @ Skydive Swoop in Dundas did an amazing job and overall gave you a fantastic experience. They also encouraged my potty mouth so there are a few “F” bombs on the video which is just so me.

My awesome tandem master Chris..thanks for not letting me die. I found out after that "I" was his 1500th jump. Again..awesome-ness.
I am so happy that the hubs gave me the nudge to do something way out of my comfort zone and for me doing something I truly wanted to do.
It.was.awesome.
Have you done something that scares you?

Congrats to you...love the pics. Looks like you had an amazing time.
Yay, I love it! Good for you! I used to do skydiving when I was at varsity in the 1980's. We started with static jumps and round (pumpkin) parachutes. I stopped jumping mainly because it became very expensive. I still need to bunjee but I'm just to scared. So I rather scare myself with very challenging races...:)
Oh wow! Congratulations. Awesome seems like a SUPER word!
Totally impressive. I just said today I would like to do this but don't know if I could carry it out.
Way to go! My son is signing up to do this on his 16th birthday in August. I will be waving at him, feet firmly planted on the ground!
Wow! How cool! Good for you for filling that bucket.
Wow! I've never something that would scare me that much. Good for you! That's a great birthday present for sure.
Awesome.
Very cool.
You are crazy!! I don't think I could ever do this. I'm soo afraid of heights! Glad you enjoyed yourself though :) I'm sure the views and pictures were amazing!
