Saturday morning Brianne and I met Jon and Amy Buchanan at Skydive Aggieland so Jon and I could take a dive out of an airplane. It was a great time! We jumped from about 10,000 feet with a 47-second free-fall and about 3-4 minutes "under canopy" as we floated over B/CS. It was an amazing experience! We did flips and going out of the plane and spins during the free-fall. We surprisingly weren't nervouse at all. It was really easy to just relax and enjoy the experience. It may have helped me that I had a superhero jumping with me. As you will see from the video, I had Spiderman in the plane with me and he jumped just before I did. Notice his jump method, he hung upside down by his toes on the wing before dropping into the open sky.

My stomach dropped just watching that. I still can't see why anyone would want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! Glad you had fun. and it was good seeing you this past week.
Wow!! Yeah, I could never do that. Glad you got to--I know you've been wanting to. Awesome!
OMG, brave men! or crazy lil boys?!? Has your momma seen this?
Fun! I had recently given some thought to sky diving myself...now I'll have to do after I see all the fun you and Jon had!
What a rush! I can't wait to hear all the details. Loved watching the video and I'm eager to watch it again with you!
I am so jealous! This is one of the things that was on my "before I graduate from college" to do list that I never did. It didn't quite fit into my college budget, but I still really want to go! Maybe I'll finally get around to it sometime this summer. I think I'll be at least a little nervous, though. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
