Draft #1 To Live in the Moment The plane door opens and I am hit with a big gust of air. The air was cool and refreshing, an air I can not even describe, but as I think about what I am about to do I get hit with mixed emotions. Am I going to die? And holy shit this is going to be so freaking amazing! Then suddenly I hear Brian ask me if I was ready? He did not even give me a chance to respond. Next thing I know I am standing on the platform connected to the plane and I am standing under the wing. I look down and all I see is green and some tan which I am thinking is grass and dirt roads. The wind is blowing so hard my hair is blow all over the place. We start to rock. We rocked three times and suddenly my feet had nothing under them. I am now parallel to the ground. My eyes are closed so tight, I feel weightless. I feel Brian tapping my shoulder but I paid no attention to it, I feel him tap me again and I don`t remember what he told me to do, then the third time I finally remember I let go of my harness and I feel like I am flying. I open my eyes and see the ground it was like I was just floating, I was not getting any closer to the earth. I look in front of me and I see blue skies and clouds. The view of the sky and clouds is so different when your flowing through the air, even different from flying in an airplane. I can feel my heart pumping so hard with adrenaline. During free fall I screamed almost the whole time, I know I screamed at the top of my lungs out of excitement and joy but I could not hear my own scream because the air flowing so fast past my ears drown out all noises. My mind is free of thoughts I was just enjoying the moment. I was living in the moment.
_________________________________________
I am awoken by the sound of my alarm on my phone. I woke up and I was so excited! I jumped out of my bed and got into the shower. Like most people I do a lot of thinking in the shower. All I could think about was about what I was about to do that day. I was thinking should I really do this, no Beck you have to, you only live once. I have had this on my bucket list for years! And the day has finally come to fulfill that thing. So I quickly finish my shower and get ready. I could not decide which tye dye shirt I wanted to possibly die in. I was putting my shoes on as I hear my mom yell up the stair saying "We’re leaving in less then five!" I quickly packed up my little northface bookbag; I made sure I packed deodorant, shorts, another shirt, and of course an extra pair of underwear! I zipped up my backpack race down the stairs. My parents we actually both ready to go. We close the front door and pack up the car. We were making an event out of this day; two of my aunts and uncles were going to be meeting us there. And we were off. My mom drove, as we got onto 287 North she looks in her rearview mirror and ask “So how you feeling?”
My response was “Ummm I don’t know, it hasn’t really hit me yet. I just feel like we are on our way to Aunt Uggs’ house.” My one aunt and uncle leave in Pennsylvania and we take 287 to get there and I knew I would be seeing them today it almost felt like it was a holiday because my aunt and uncle usually have the holidays at their house. We continued to drive, which felt like forever! I just sat in the backseat and looked out the window and watch the trees fly by us. As I sat there I kept thinking to myself okay Beck you need to realize where we are going you need to get pumped. I was so excited for the fact I was going but it just did not hit me that today was actually the day that we were going because I had waited for a year and a half to do this. And because this was going to be the second attempt to go. Our first attempt got canceled because it was to cloudy out. As we continue to drive my moms phone rang it was my Aunt Uggs asking us where we were. She told us okay Michael and I are here and there are a lot of people here but they cannot take our reservation until everyone is here.
Finally about 20 minutes we pulled into the entrance. As you enter there is a two passenger airplane on the lawn. We pull into a parking spot and we have to wait for the golf cart to pick us up. He sat at the car and wait for about 3 minutes before we saw the golf cart flying down to pick us up. My mother climbs into the front seat and my father and I climb onto the seats in the back. The guy I don’t remember his name welcomes us. And starts asking us questions, “so is it your first time here?”
We all reply “no” “we were here about two months ago and had to leave because of the weather”
He says “Oh man sorry to here that well today we are starting out with a little delay because it is a little windy up there. But it looks like we definitely be jumping today”
I think to myself oh mannnn. We finally pull up to what looks like a garage. I see my two aunts and my two uncles sitting waiting for us. We all say hello and then my Aunt Uggs starts walking to the front desk window to check everyone in. I took out my license and walked over to the window. They check my I.D. and tell me to go to the Ipad and fill out both wavier forms. I walk over to the IPads and begin to fill out the wavier. I remember having to fill it out the last time we were there so I was just initialing my life away. Literally.
It was sooooo hot that day and nowhere really to sit and no shade except for this little tent thing they had setup. There were about 15 people ahead of us and only two people could go at a time so we knew it was going to be a longgg day because of the delay. Thank god we had brought chairs. My dad was driven back to the car in the golf cart to lug the chairs back. We setup the chairs in a circle and we begin to talk. We talked and talked and I sat there sweating my ass off! I was so hot I was sweating through my black pants it was baddd. I looked at my mom and I could see she was dying she does not do well with heat and she was sitting there with sweat droplets rolling down her face. I sat there and I could continue to feel my sweat just seeping through my pants. It was horrible!
Draft #2 The Unexpected Day I Found Happiness
The day was April 29, 2007 I thought this was the happiest
day of my life,
little did I know it was going to be day I made one of the
biggest but life
changing decisions of my life. It was the day that we had
finally made it
official. He was my boyfriend and I was his girlfriend. We
had been
talking\dating for about a month and we had made the
decision that we wanted to
be together. We had put some thought into it because in
August I would be
leaving to go to school in Pennsylvania. We talked about
it we thought we were
going to be able to make it work. I was so happy to be
with him. I was so happy
to see him in school everyday and see him after I got out
of work everyday.
Things were going perfect until.........
August
2007 I left for school I was very upset to leave him. He was going to be
a senior in high school and I was going to be a freshman
in college. I was
excited for this new experience but I was very upset to
leave him three and a
half hours away. I was able to drive my car to school because
I was going to be
coming home in two weeks because it was Labor Day weekend
and South Plainfield
has a big festival with a fair and all different types
things including
fireworks. I could not wait for those two weeks to be over
so I could see him
again! AHHH it was finally Friday and I was on my way
home, I had my gas pedal
to the floor I could not wait! I got home in 2 hours and
45 minutes! I got home
and called him, he answered the phone "hello"
"Hey babe I'm home!" I said excitedly "What
are you doing?"
"I'm at Darr's." he told me.
"Okay well can I see you?" I said.
"Yea later, I am hanging out with my friends."
he told me
Well I hadn't seen him in 2 weeks and I was so ready to
see him but yet the
excitement was not mutual. I did not care because I was
just so in love with him
that I was like ok I will just see him later. Finally
around 8:30 he texts me
and tells me to come over Darr's I was not too trilled to
go to Darr's to see
him because I wanted to be with him alone. But I decided whatever
I will just go
because I wanted to see him.
At the time little did I know that this was going to be a
regular thing. He
wanted to be with his friends more than he wanted to see
me. Even after he was
about to see them all week long and I hadn't seen him five
days. I would come
home every weekend just so I could see him. And over and
over again he was
always with his friends.
The weekend that all the thoughts started coming into my
head. He played
football and the team had made it to states. Of course I
came home to support
him. The game was at Giants staduim and a lot of people
from town were going to
be at the game. I was dressed in green and white and a big
#40 on my face. I
remember standing in line and being so excited to watch
this game. It was so
cold and then suddenly the little white flakes started
falling. It was snowing!
I was nervous for the game now because I know how much it
sucked to play in the
snow and then to play on of the biggest games of the
season! The game started
the whole team was hyped up, but that soon faded away once
it was time to
preform. The game was a complete mess. South Plainfield
lost A LOT to a little.
I went home and raced over to the high school to make sure
I was there for him
when he got there. He came to me and fell into my arms. I
hugged him and I could
hear him making a little noise; then I lifted him up and I
can see the tears
running down his face. He was crying because it was his
last game of high school
football.
Later that night there was a party at Darr's house,
surprise surprise. That was
the night that I saw it. He was flirting like crazy with
her right in front of
my face. I thought about and thought about and I was like
noooo he is just
really good friends with her. All the senior football
players had a cheerleader
and she was his. And I know that they were friends for a
very long time because
they went to elementary school together. The more and more
I thought about I had
to ask him about it. Monday morning on my drive back to
school I really thought
about it and I decide that I was going to ask him about
it. So when I got back
to class I sat in class and nervously texted him "So
is there something going on
between you and HER?" I new he was still at school so
I anxiously waited for his
text back. To my surprise he called me while he was in
school I jumped up and
walked out of class. I answered the phone.
"Hello"
"Hey babe." he whispered.
"What's up?"
"Why do you think that?"
"Cause you were flirting with her right in front of
my face. Like you were all
over her."
"We there is nothing going on, I love you and only
you."
"Okay." I said
Of course I took his word because I did not think that he
would lie to me. But
as time went on I had an issue with her over and over again.
I would think about
it all the time but I just thought I was over thinking
things but I had just
went on birth control and it was fucking with head. My
hormones went crazy the
first 6 months of being on it. I thought I was going
crazy. So I just kept
telling myself that it is all in my head; but was it.
I continued to come home every weekend to see him my
freshman year in college.
There countless time when I was at school and I would call
him before I went to
bed and the phone would just ring and ring. I would
continue to call because I
wanted to talk to him before I went to sleep and like two
hours later he would
finally call back. I would think to myself he was with her
and then talk myself
out of it. No he wouldn't do that to me he loved me. But
time after time it
would happen. We were together for about 10 months now and
things just kept
getting worse and worse with the lies. He would tell me he
was going to hang out
with the guys and the stalker that I would drive by the
house he was at and I
would see her car there. I would become infuriated. I
would find myself texting
him and questioning him about. Then we would get into a
heat argument. He made
me feel worthless. But still I stayed with him. I was just
so in love with him and I could not even tell you why.
As time got closer and closer to summer I was so excited to
come home for good. I had decided that the school and major was not for me. I
was just not happy not for the simple fact that I was away from him but because
I did not like my major or my school. So the day I left there for good I was so
excited! I was coming home and staying home! That June he graduated from high
school and I was so excited because I thought this would be the end of the
issues with her. Boy was I wrong.
Throughout the summer the lies continued and continued but I
would confront him about them and he would deny, deny, deny. I would believe
him but deep down inside I knew he was lying but I did not want to face it. She
went away to Montclair that September and I could not be happier. Until I found
out that two of his friends were going to be attended Montclair as well; which
meant “oh hey I am going to visit Chris at school tonight.” “Okay babe, don’t
do anything stupid.” “Babeee” he would reply. But surprise, surprise his phone
would magically die those night or he would just so happen to forget his phone
in the dorm room or some bullshit excuse. Over and over again. And over and
over again I would stay with him. I was an idiot.
There were multiple time that things had become physical
between him and I; and growing up I promised myself if a male ever put a finger
on me it would be over. But again time after time I would forgive him. I can
remember the one so vividly. It was New Years Eve of 2009. We were at a huge
house party with a bunch of friends. We had gotten into an argument about
something stupid because we were drunk. I said I was walking home and proceed
to leave, he came running after me and we started screaming at each other in
the middle of the street. I talked with my hands especially when I am mad and
we got in each others face and my hands were flying around like an annoying
nat. He got mad that I had my hands in his face and he smack my one hand down
and my hand dropped like a slinky. He hit my hand so hard that my bracelet
broke off my wrist and my ring flew off my finger. But I continue to argue with
my other hand. And again he slap that hand down and again he hit my hand so
hard that my ring on that hand flew off and now I was really pissed because it
was a ring my mother had gave me for Christmas just a week before. But we
continue to argue. Then he said the unthinkable to me, first he said “Fuck you”
would I didn’t care about but the next thing he said to me was “Fuck your
family” I can still hear it echoing in head to this day. One do not talk about
my family. Two my family had taken him in like a second son. About 9 months
before this his mother had passed away from cancer. We found out she had cancer
in February and passed in late March. It was very sudden. And ever since then
my family had really taken him in as a second son along with his two sisters
and his father. We did a lot for them during that tough time. So my response to
him was “FUCK MY FAMILY!!! Really after all my family has done for you! FUCK
YOU!” and I slapped him across his face as hard as I could and started to walk
home. I only lived about a half a mile from the house party so I did not care
because that’s how I planned to get home anyways. As I was walking I suddenly heard
a car creeping up by side me, I looked over and through my tears I could see
his black dodge drango. I yelled to him “Leave me alone I AM DONE!” I just
continued to walk and he continue to drive beside me. I finally got to my house
and he got out of the car and I screamed don’t touch me! He said “Baby” I said
“Fuck you good-bye” I pulled him off of me and walked into my house. No one was
home my parents were gone for the night as well as my brother. I went into my
house and closed the door behind me. I walked straight up to my room striped
down threw a t-shirt on and got into bed. Then he texted me “I am bring Chris
and Mike home and then I am coming to your house.” I said “don’t bother just
leave me alone.” I layed in my bed and cried I was so mad and hurt that he
would even say that to me about my family. I cried and cried I told myself I
was done we are through when suddenly I heard my front door open and footsteps
coming up the stairs. It was him! I thought to myself wait I thought I locked
the door. Well I guess not. And guess what I forgave him and let him sleep in
my bed! Looking back on it now I should have thrown his ass out of my house!
But once again I took him back!
After that night things just continue and continue to get
worse and worse. We were fighting even more then usual. When finally on March
3, 2010 I had made the best decision of my life. I broke up with him for the
final time. I was done I was physically and emotionally drain from this
relationship. I was giving it 100% and I was get 50% in return. I was not happy
and now when I look back at it I truly do not know if I was ever really happy.
But March 3, 2010 I began a new life. I was going to make myself happy before
anyone else. I was done with the bullshit I was DONE! No longer will I let a
male walk all over me like I did with him. I now know what I want in a
relationship and sure as hell what I deserve. Even though I still have not been
in a serious serious relationship since him because he fucked me up so much in
the head with all the lies and bullshit I went through with him. I know one day
I will be able to find the man for me that accepts me for who I AM flaws and
all and does not try and change anything about me. And number one does not put
there hands on me. Since that day I have become some much stronger of a woman
and so much more independent and I don’t need someone in my life to be happy. I
am happy because I am doing all the things I want to do in my life when I want
to do it. I do not have someone pushing me around and making me feel worthless.
Good bye negative people your are no longer in my life.
I have found happiness within me.
Final Draft
To Live in the Moment
The plane door opens and I am hit with a big gust of air.
The air was cool and refreshing, an air I cannot even describe, but as I think
about what I am about to do I get hit with mixed emotions. Am I going to die?
And holy shit this is going to be so freaking amazing! Then suddenly I hear
Brian ask me if I was ready? He did not even give me a chance to respond. Next
thing I know I am standing on the platform connected to the plane and I am
standing under the wing. I look down and all I see is green and some tan, which
I am thinking, is grass and dirt roads. The wind is blowing so hard my hair is
blow all over the place. We start to rock. We rocked three times and suddenly
my feet had nothing under them. I am now parallel to the ground. My eyes are
closed so tight, I feel weightless. I feel Brian tapping my shoulder but I paid
no attention to it, I feel him tap me again and I don’t remember what he told
me to do, then the third time I finally remember I let go of my harness and I
feel like I am flying. I open my eyes and see the ground it was like I was just
floating, I was not getting any closer to the earth. I look in front of me and
I see blue skies and clouds. The view of the sky and clouds is so different
when your floating through the air, even different from flying in an airplane.
I can feel my heart pumping so hard with adrenaline. During free fall I
screamed almost the whole time, I know I screamed at the top of my lungs out of
excitement and joy but I could not hear my own scream because the air flowing
so fast past my ears drown out all noises. My mind is free of thoughts I was

_________________________________________________________________
I am awoken by the sound of my alarm on my phone. I woke up
and I was so excited! I jumped out of my bed and got into the shower. Like most
people I do a lot of thinking in the shower. All I could think about was about
what I was about to do that day. I was thinking should I really do this, no
Beck you have to, you only live once. I have had this on my bucket list for
years! And the day has finally come to fulfill that thing. So I quickly finish
my shower and get ready. I could not decide which tye dye shirt I wanted to
possibly die in. I was putting my shoes on as I hear my mom yell up the stair
saying "We’re leaving in less then five!" I quickly packed up my
little northface backpack; I made sure I packed deodorant, shorts, another
shirt, and of course an extra pair of underwear! I zipped up my
backpack race down the stairs. My parents we actually both ready to go. We
closed the front door and pack up the car. We were making an event out of this
day; two of my aunts and uncles were going to be meeting us there. And we were
off. My mom drove, as we got onto 287 North she looks in her rearview mirror
and ask “So how you feeling?”
My response was “Ummm I don’t know, it hasn’t really hit me
yet. I just feel like we are on our way to Aunt Uggs’ house.”
My one aunt and uncle leave in Pennsylvania and we take 287
to get there and I knew I would be seeing them today it almost felt like it was
a holiday because my aunt and uncle usually have the holidays at their house.
We continued to drive, which felt like forever! I just sat in the backseat and
looked out the window and watch the trees fly by us. As I sat there I kept
thinking to myself okay Beck you need to realize where we are going you need to
get pumped. I was so excited for the fact I was going but it just did not hit
me that today was actually the day that we were going; because I had waited for
a year and a half to do this, and because this was going to be the second
attempt to go. Our first attempt got canceled because it was too cloudy out. As
we continue to drive my moms phone rang it was my Aunt Uggs asking her where we
were. She told us okay Michael and I are here and there are a lot of people
here but they cannot take our reservation until everyone is here.
Finally about 20 minutes later we pulled into the entrance.
As you enter there is a two-passenger airplane on the lawn. We pull into a
parking spot and we have to wait for the golf cart to pick us up. We sat at the
car and wait for about 3 minutes before we saw the golf cart flying down to
pick us up. My mother climbs into the front seat and my father and I climb onto
the seats in the back. The guy I don’t remember his name welcomes us. And
starts asking us questions, “so is it your first time here?”
We all reply “No.”
Then I say “We were here about two months ago and had to
leave because of the weather.”
He says “Oh man sorry to here that well today we are
starting out with a little delay because it is a little windy up there. But it
looks like we definitely be jumping today!”
I think to myself oh mannnn this is real life. We finally
pull up to what looks like a garage. I see my two aunts and my two uncles
sitting waiting for us. We all say hello and then my Aunt Uggs starts walking
to the front desk window to check everyone in. I took out my license and walked
over to the window. They check my I.D. and tell me to go to the Ipad and fill
out both wavier forms. I walk over to the IPads and begin to fill out the
wavier. I remember having to fill it out the last time we were there so I was
just initialing my life away. Literally.
It was sooooo hot that day and nowhere really to sit and no
shade except for this little tent thing they had setup. There were about 15
people ahead of us and only two people could go at a time so we knew it was
going to be a longgg day because of the delay. Thank god we had brought chairs.
My dad was driven back to the car in the golf cart to lug the chairs back. We
setup the chairs in a circle and we begin to talk. We talked and talked and I
sat there sweating my ass off! I was so hot I was sweating through my black
pants it was baddd. I looked at my mom and I could see she was dying she does
not do well with heat and she was sitting there with sweat droplets rolling
down her face. I sat there and I could continue to feel my sweat just seeping
through my pants. It was horrible!
Our reservation was for 9:30 am and it was now about 2:00 pm
and we were still waiting. Finally around 2:30 pm we heard a man yell out
Christine and Michael Amspacher my Aunt Uggs and Uncle Michael walked over to
the garage and I followed because I wanted to take pictures and watch. My aunt
was being harness and as she was standing there she was shaking uncontrollable.
My uncle on the other hand was standing cracking jokes you could tell my uncle
was sooooo nervous. My aunt is a flight attendant and my uncle is a pilot and
they were both like I am usually in a plane and staying in it, not jumping out
of a perfectly good airplane. My aunt and uncle we strapped and ready to go.
They were taken away in the golf cart we watched until we could no longer see
them. We sat and waited and waited for them to land. Finally about 25 minutes
later we saw little black dots in the sky just floating down. Around and around
they went. Before they could even land my Uncle Ollie and Aunt Judy we
harnessed and on their way to the other plane. My Uncle Michael landed first.
We ran up as close as we could because we wanted to take pictures. I could hear
the flapping of the parachute as he landed they skid across the ground like a
duck as it takes off to fly in the water. My uncle was detached from his
instructor and waited on the landing pad for my aunt to land. My aunt landed
and was detached from her instructor. My aunt and uncle kissed and started
walking toward us. I of course yell out “How was it!”
My uncle said “awesome” and my aunt said “I think it was
good” apparently my aunt blacked out the moment she stepped out of the plane.
Before I knew it they were taking the harness off my aunt
and putting it on me.
A guy calls me over and introduces himself “Hey I am Brian
your going be strap to me and jumping out of a perfectly good plane, are you
ready?!?!”
“I said ohhhhh yeahhhh!”
“Okay just come over here so we can harness you up”
“Alrighty!”
“Ok step through this hole now with your other foot step
through this hole. Okay now pull it up like a pair of pants.”
He began to pull and snap and buckle all these different
straps and hooks. He began to tell me what we were going to do when we stepped
out of the plane. Yeah like I was listening. I have no idea what he was saying
to me I had too many thoughts racing through my head. I could see his mouth moving
but couldn’t hear anything coming out it was all a mumble because my thoughts
were screaming in my head. He said “Okay your all strapped and ready to go just
hang out here and I will let you know when we are ready to go.”
I stood around got some pictures taken and talked with my
aunt and uncle that had already gone. Then Brian came up to me and asked if I
was getting a video done I told him yes. He was like okay I will be right back
let me get the camera. He came back with a GoPro camera told me okay I am going
to do a little interview before we leave so grab who ever you want in your
video. Of course I grabbed my mother and father. I felt so awkward because I
hate being in front of the camera like that being asked questions. We finished
the little interview and then introduced me to the guy that was going to be
going up in the plane with us because I was by myself and it was two-seater
plane and they did not want to waste a trip. Don’t even ask me his name because
all I can remember is that he goes to Kean University. We talked a little bit
to get to know each other, but before we knew it they were calling us over to
the golf cart to be driven to the plane.
We got to the plane and it was a lot smaller than I thought
it was going to be. Then Brian shows me the platform that we were going to be
stepping out onto. I looked at it and then looked back at him I said “you have
got to be kidding me.” It was no bigger then a shoebox. Outside the plane we
decided who was going first. I said I am! I can’t wait and watch someone else
go and then do it. I might chicken out. I then told them I am afraid of heights
and afraid of falling. All three guys looked at me like I was crazy. I just
looked back and said yeah I know, I know but I have always wanted to do this. We
boarded the plane. We were introduced to the pilot and started the propeller.
The noise of the propeller was so loud and rumbled and shook the whole plane.
Then we started moving very slowly. We were taxiing down the runway, we picked
up more speed, faster and faster we went the grass was just a green blur, and
then suddenly we were in the air, floating. We went higher and higher and I
could see more and more of the earth. The cold air that seeping through the
cracks of the door and the pilots’ window felt AMAZING. I was so hot from
sitting in the sun all day that the cool air felt like I was sitting in front
of a window air conditioner with a fan blowing on me and nice big glass of ice
water. It was so refreshing. As I looked out the window green, tan and the
black runaway was all I could see. I could see the airport and then all of a
sudden it was gone, everything was just objects that I could not make out. The
plane was so small you could feel every little gust of air and any movement in
the plane. I remember it was very loud, the sound of the propeller and wind
made it almost impossible to hear Brian. About 5 minutes into the flight he
taps me on the shoulder and puts the camera in my face and starts to interview
me again. When I am nervous I laugh a lot and all I remember doing was laugh.
He asked me a couple of questions and I would answer and laugh. Boy did the
excitement/nervousness hit me like a freight train. He turned the camera off
and I was silent. That is another thing I do when I am nervous, I don’t talk. I
was sitting there on the padded floor of the plane just looking out the window
seeing all the beauties of the world. It was a beautiful scene, something you
would see in a magazine. The plane ride was a lot longer that I thought it was
going to be. It was about 20 minutes long that felt like an hour. We were about
5 minutes away from the jumping spot and Brian yells in my ear “Okay its time
to strap up to me”
I look over my shoulder and look at him thinking how the
hell am I going to strap up to you in this little ass plane.
“Okay I need you sit on my lap.” I am still in my head
thinking how the hell am I going to get up onto his lap. So I grab onto the
window panel and push myself up onto his lap and SNAP! I broke the window
panel. I look over my shoulder and say whoops! He says to me “try not to grab
onto that haha. I will help you” Finally I was on his lap and I can hear the
hooks snapping into place. Then he pulling me closer and closer to him with the
straps. He asked me are you ready? He doesn’t even give me a chance to reply
and then whoosh the plane door opens and we are hit with a huge gust of air!

The air is still rushing past my ears and my hair is flying
uncontrollable but I am loving every minute of it. SWOOSH POOF the parachute
pops out and opens. I am jerked and than feel like I am floating in the same
spot looking down at the earth. I heard Brian tell me okay you can take off
your goggles now. I pull them down around my neck and grab onto the straps
connected to the parachute. I try to dampen my mouth because I had my mouth
open the whole way down screaming that there was a drought in my mouth. Finally
I get some moisture in my mouth and I am able to talk. I tell Brian “ummm my
boobs are in my face, is there anything we can do about that? haha” He laughs
and looses the strap that is under my chest. We float a little bit and Brian
asks me how was it I reply “Fucking awesome. I would do it again in a heart
beat!”
“Good glad you enjoyed it.” he replied
We just glided down closer and closer to earth, it was
beautiful and so peaceful gliding down. Brian asks if I want to turn and spin a
little, I said sure. So he pulls on the one handle that is connected to the
parachute and we start to turn, around and around we go. It was so cool. He
then tells me how we are going land. When we got closer to the ground I had to
lift my feet up and glide on my butt. But as we gett closer to the ground he
yells feet up feet up and we get closer and closer. I guess we had a perfect
landing because all of a sudden he yells stand up stand up and we end the jump
by walking instead of gliding on our butts in the grass. We detach and take some
pictures. Then we he shake hands and I thank him for the most amazing
experience of my life.
You just have let yourself go and live in the moment because
this is the only moment you have right now.
