All day I've been sitting on trains




Jumping out of planes.
It happened so fast, it felt like cold, soft cement on my face.

When we went through a cloud it was freezing.

And we fell for what seemed like forever before he pulled the parachute.
We looked down at Hawaii and saw all of the beautiful beaches,
But all I could think about was how nauseous I was.
When we landed I was so sick I could barely walk.

Does it sound like fun? :)

It was beautiful, But I will never do it again.
It also made me laugh because we had to sign our lives away.
And before I jumped out I thought that (maybe) I might die.
But I'm alive and breathing friends,
and have so many more pictures to share.

(and I miss Kev-friend already)

Ohh that is too bad that you had the guts and courage to jump out and then you got sick!

At least you got to see a wonderful view and experience it with someone like Kevin.
