Back from a wild weekend...

Wow... This past weekend has been so eventful that I feel like I need a total detox.

My friend got married yesterday and I think it just hit me that she's now someone's wife.

When she walked down the aisle (to Savage Garden's "Truly, Madly, Deeply"), our friends from high school got all teary and I'm getting kinda sentimental thinking about it right now. Our girl has really grown up!!! And to think it's been nearly 10 years since I met her! I honestly can't believe how time flies...

The wedding was amazing and seemed to never seemed to end, but I had to leave with some friends at around 1:30AM so that two of us could go skydiving the next day.

So today, we took the journey to and from Allentown, PA. We figured that since our friends had the courage to get married, we would find a new way of taking a plunge-- out of an airplane!

And it was pretty AWESOME!

Here are some photos of me:


Here I am in the plane, smiling as I nervously look out the window. My tandem instructor is right behind me.










Here I am, trying to make the "hang loose" sign, while my instructor apparently licks my hair.











A better view of our freefall, which lasted about 1-minute... Notice that I'm giving the thumbs-up sign!

(There are also a lot of closer-up photos of my face, while I was in freefall. However, I am choosing not to post them, as they look pretty disgusting-- with my skin flapping back towards my bones in the wind.)

And here we are, as our parachute opens...

And here we are after the fall...

Unfortunately, my friend was in another plane- so I don't have any good photos of her right now. :(

Will post one of us both, as soon as I can, though...

This was such a roller-coaster weekend that I seriously need some way to ease my way back into normal life. The dullness of my real life is hitting me pretty hard!!
