My skydiving adventure!

As many of you know I had scheduled to skydive and it was put off due to Highwinds, but it actually happened yesterday. Jessica is really funny because she couldn’t understand why I would jump out of a completely good airplane! I knew I wouldn’t always be able to do this, so I better go on and get it over with. Unfortunately things did not go well. Our main parachute did not deploy so we had to use the reserve as I was tandem jumping. It scared me to death, but after spinning hurling toward the ground at 129 mph and having a sore back this morning it’s over now and I’m glad I did it
