Nope, I wasn't jumping off the roof of my house for a thrill.
But, imagine doing a parachute jump to start the New Year!
Well, let's just give a big YeeHaw to my brave girlfriend, Heloise,
who did that very thing!

Of course, a gal can't pass up a fashion-worthy moment of suiting up and jumping with the Army's Golden Knights. Who gets to do that at the 'drop' of a chute....sorry for the pun. That was bad... (smiling with a suspicious glint in the eye).

That looked like great fun, but I am also content just to wave from the ground and enjoy the photos. Now, inquiring minds want to know what your thoughts were as you exited the plane and on the drift towards the earth? Tell us more and maybe a few hints on keeping it together and not screaming like a banshee all the way to the ground. I am thinking of my own personal reaction of course.

Happy Soft AND Stand up Landings as we say in Hot Air Ballooning and it applies just as appropriately in parachuting adventures.
