70 jumps and its still as exciting at it was my first jump. Someone said I look like a kid in a candy store when I'm sitting in the plane...haha. I made 7 jumps this weekend and pretty much ripped my fingers to hell (trying to pack my parachute). I don't think biting my nails helps...

I opened my parachute 2.65 miles from the ground on Saturday (14,000 feet. 168,000 inches. 426,720 centimeters). That gave me about a 15 minute canopy ride which was probably 10 minutes too long...my legs started to fall asleep and my arms became numb. With all that aside, it was still really cool.

I cant WAIT till next weekend. Helicopters, Casa, Costumes, Beer, Skydiving, live music, and FUN PEOPLE?! Who wouldn't be excited about that??
