Jeth 0 #1 June 6, 2011 It was this day in 2004 that I did my first jump, on my birthday. Highlights: * First beach jump * Jet jump * First heli jump * First cross-country * Swoop-n-chug * 2nd raft dive * My personal-best 16 point 4-way * All those Mr. Potato Head jumps * Some awesome hoop dives * Competing with my first 4-way team * So many more.... And the not-so-great moments: * Torn knee * First chop = lost everything * Crash off-landing = broken ankle * Getting dragged down the runway = friction burns on my harness * Almost landing in the ocean Fortunately the good times have far outweighed the bad times. It's been a bumpy road for me at times, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Skydiving has given me most of the best moments of my life. And some of the best friends anyone could ask for. And the love of my life. Wow, that's pretty incredible. Awesome. Here's to the next 7 years! "At 13,000 feet nothing else matters." PFRX!!!!!
