life // skydiving

so for my best friend and my 26th birthday, we decided that we wanted to cross off another activity on our bucket list. she came up with the brilliant idea of skydiving! i had just got off a plane coming in from the caribbeans. i literally had no time to nap, eat or pretty much do anything besides throw on some old clothes & head to the country!

as far as the experience, it was amazing! i like how the facility documents your time there, from the moment you walk in until you land. the employees were friendly and made sure that we were safe the entire time.

my instructor didn't give me time to take a breath before jumping out the plane. we just jumped!! the air took my breath away for about 30 seconds, then i relaxed some. i couldn't really pose in the air like i wanted to because the wind was so intense. however, i did remember to smile, because if you don't, then you might not like what you look like in your photos later. i lost my earrings & my ears began to hurt like they always do when altitude drops. the sun was setting & it was peaceful, so peaceful that i got really quiet to take it all in & my instructor thought i fainted.

needless to say, i didn't. i just really wish my ears weren't hurting so i could really enjoy it to the fullest. when it was time to land, my stubby legs couldn't bend as much as my instructor wanted them to. i can't tell you how many times i had to practice in the air, cause the last thing i wanted was a bad landing.

overall, i enjoyed myself & want to thank my bff for coming up with this idea! i can't tell you all how blessed i am that i have been able to do so many amazing things for my birthday this year.
