Skydive

To do before I turn 26. I’d like to see my first third of life out in style, or perhaps welcome in the next third of life in style…I have about 2 and a half months to accomplish this goal. I told my Dad yesterday that I want a skydiving experience for my birthday gift. He said “talk to me in February” but at least now he knows for sure that I want to do this.

The two important questions that remain are: 1) how am I going to pay for this and 2) where am I going to skydive. Depending on my grandmother’s health, I’m not sure where I’ll be in the few weeks before my birthday, but it will either be Minnesota, California, or Florida. Wish I knew now for sure so I could start researching skydiving companies (in CA and/or FL) and perhaps even make an appointment.

We’ll see…

I was going to skydive this summer but have decided I am instead going to jump this fall. Two reasons: 1) I’ve already done some exciting things this summer and want to save something exciting for fall and 2) I think the colors crossing the landscape will be just gorgeous. All the trees will be red orange gold or yellow, I think it will be so beautiful!!

So: late September or early October is the time. I am ready to make my appointment this coming week; would love to get this on the calendar so I can truly start getting excited about it!

:D

Hope to complete this goal this summer: have the money and the time, just need to shape up a wee bit before I can attempt a jump. Tandem first, then accelerated freefall. Aiming for early July or mid August for first tandem jump. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!
