Hello! Hello! Well this past week was spent in the lovely Sunshine State :D! I spent some time letting the sun kiss my face by both the pool-side & beach-side! I was supposed to be in Lynchburg, VA walking for my graduation, celebrating my Master's degree! But, when I saw how much it was going to cost I quickly considered other options. Since our family lives in Florida we decided to go there...and since a Master's degree is quite the accomplishment my hubs wanted to give me a great present...nothing better than SKYDIVING!!! Oooooh!!! I could definitely do that again...and...again... We went to
Skydive Space Center in Titusville. FL.
So Saturday morning I went jumping with 2 friends of mine. I really have no words to describe how beautiful and breathtaking that view is. The feeling is a rush, like no other. It's about a 90 second free fall then a few minutes of gliding and enjoying the view 'til you get to the ground. The entire time I had a smile on my face. We had prepared for a 15,000 feet jump but as I got to the ground I quickly learned that we had been given a nice FREEBIE!!! Since everyone else on he plane paid for the 18,000 ft jump they decided to take us up that high too! My instructor was great & super fun! Again, it is an indescribable feeling, it's liberating, exhilarating, breathtaking and all around amazing! I have a small video I am making and will post shortly [I chose not to buy the one that took of me, as it was quite costly!] But here goes: my very exciting JUMP day!
