The day before
My stomach is a tangled ball of nerves as I ponder what I have sworn I won’t back out of. I am fairly accustomed to being called a lunatic, but usually it is a term of endearment. After tomorrow I believe the title may fit me a little better.
For the last couple of years I have been wanting to throw myself from a perfectly good airplane just so I could say I did. I have finally made the arrangements to do just that. Call it a check off the “bucket list” or just a day closer to earning my title of lunatic, but either way it is something I have to do.
I would be lying if I was to say I wasn’t a bit nervous, but I suppose that is a normal emotion for anyone in this situation. I mean, what do you do before the jump? should I write a will and kiss my family goodbye or is it just another day at the office? For the guys I am going with, it is just that. Skydiving is just what they do.
Wish me luck, I’ll post some pictures in a couple of days. Here’s to hoping I can pack enough Charmin in my jumpsuit to make for a soft landing.

So did you jump? My husband's siblings go skydiving as well... and I'm not on that bandwagon. So, how did it go? I'd probably write a will before I did it. Except, I don't think I ever will do that! My husband wants to someday. We'll see if I ever let him. :o)
Hello. I guess you did. I can see the pictures on the side of your blog now. I'll have to go to fb. :o)
