Day 3- My Idea of a Great First Date.
Well.. in my opinion first dates are just awkward. Its been a long time since I went on a first date so its hard for me to even imagine. So lets just talk about my favorite date Mitch and I went on.

Since I was such a killer girlfriend for Mitch's 19th Birthday I took him skydiving. It was something we had always talked about and had on out life "bucket list" but never thought it was going to happen anytime soon. Needless to say he was SHOCKED when I first told him.. did not believe me.

Joelle's boyfriend Tyler's birthday was 2 days before Mitch's. So she surprised him also and came along.

Our families could NOT miss out on the excitement.
The showed up shortly after we arrived to watch us jump.
If any of you know my mother-in-law you will believe me when I say Im surprised she didnt have a heart attack.

Climbing in the plane and slowly going higher and higher was such a weird experience. I can honestly say I was not nervous, It had not hit me that I was about to jump out of a plane at 13,000ft. We were all just so pumped.

At this point I had watched... Mitch Jump.. Tyler Jump... and Joelle.. It started to hit..
Thankfully they give you absolutely NO time to think.

Jumping out of the plane is SUCH a thrilling experience..
Its a pure rush of those crazy butterflies you get on a roller costar mixed with amazement.

Only negative thing was that I got extremely sick once our parachute went out. I was SO scared I was going to puke up there... Then once we hit the ground I felt like I was going to pass out for the next 3 hours.

But besides all of that we LOVED it and plan on going again VERY soon.

Im trying hard to find our videos.. They may have been lost in the wedding/moving mess. If you ever go GET the video. soo worth it.

Love all of your facial expressions! The guy you jumped with looks super creepy . . . what's with the weird "hands off" thing he's doing? By the way, I would pee my pants if I had to jump out of a plane!
