Amanduh

You never responded to accept TURTLE...Dayum..that slow eh? And 78Rats says he'll be there on Friday..I will only be there Saturday. Turtle...you up for it or not? One little draw back w/ me though..I do not want more than 3 people LOL.(ff).I know that soudns bad..but I have jumped w/ 2 other people before me and 1 other in sit & the other head down..and it was a little bizaar for me. I dont think I'm ready for that yet...SLOW PROGRESSION edited to add: the other 2 jumpers on the 3way ff were very experienced too...It is just very cool to see new stuff going on and I kind of lost focus on my form...I was clocked at 6000 going 176mph in my sit..hehe..get the point? I have my avg. down to about 160 now.....SOOOOOO....Yeah..better be ready to fall like a rock!

Yeah, and all of you experienced free flyers keep me in mind! I cannot do all kinds of crazy / fun stuff but I'm working on getting better and would love to jump with some people I could learn from! So far I got Pier to jump with!

Ok....Just don't drink Friday night. I'll only be out there Saturday and trust me..I have a weak tummy man...don't torture me intentionally unless you want some chain reaction up chuckin goin on EWWWW LOL Ok..gone too far ....

Good gawd Pier. That's freaking disgusting man. I think maybe I'll have to stick to tha TURTLE lol

EWWWWWWWWW GROSS! HAHAHA I shal definately bring some air freshner with me now! Thanks for the warning man!

Awww Pier you are seriously just way too good to me! I look forward to it..I should be out there Saturday early and I'll be holding a sign saying "PIER WHERE ART THOU?" hehehee

I know that HippyDiver (Bill) said that he is going to be going out there too..might wanna add him too!

Check your PM's

I am hoping to be there too, all depends on Texas weather. This will be my PRE-SECOND place to jump other than my home DZ (Spaceland). I'm pretty freaking excited, gonna be showing up out there solo so Pier you better be ready for some jumps boi!

OHHHHHHH NO DON'T GET ME STARTED! My EX doesn't reside here so I CAN go on! HEHEHE I was with a TOTAL asshole for about 2 years. Yup, I think I honestly fed off of the need to have to beg to be loved...hmm..even though I never was HEHE. Yeah...first time he told me he loved me was after hurting me...then I took him back..treated me like shit another year..and I still begged for him to just love me. It was the worst case of mental abuse ever lol. Talk about leaving me crying while he peels out of the drive way laughing..uhhh...telling me that if I ate anything he'd have to drop me off at the gym to work it offf..uhhhh...lol...you get the point. But yeah, girls sometimes do feel they have to stay w/ those kind of men because by the time they realize they are being treated like shit, their (in this case mine) self esteem is already so low that they do not believe someone could love them for who they are, or would much less even want them. But that's all okay now cause I gots me a real man that treats me like I'm his princess and that's all that matters. Im a lucky gal OH, and on top of that...right after I dumped him for good, I FOUND SKYDIVING...which TOTALLY changed my outlook on life. I considered it my therapy ...figured it might be cheaper than a shrink..BOY WAS I WRONG! HAHAHA

Dan is definately patient!!! His wife is amazing too (Not sure how to spell her name correctly but I"ll try) Mariusca?? Ok, I know that probably is VERY wrong! HAHA She is the only female STP instructor out there but she is definately one of the best! Another instructor you might both enjoy as well is Ira. He is very good too. Actually, they all are! I hope you heel up fast and you both get out there again!!! Has the doctor said how long you are going to have to wait until full recovery? You weren't possibly the guy wearing the shirt that said "kiss me it's my birthday" or something like that are you? I remember the guy wearing that shirt said it was his 32nd birthday as well! ??? Hmm.....

Looks like your wifey got to jump w/ good 'ole Dan! He's an amazing instructor, had my sisters fiance jump w/ him when they came out! Let that arm heal up and I'm sure we'll see you back out at Spaceland soon enough!!

So did you figure out what to get her?

I agree with skymama completely....Some people go too far out of their way to intentionally hurt other people instead of keeping their thoughts to themselves...

Mile high club? Helicopter ride at sunset w/ champagne? Depends on budget really...Not all 'gifts' have to be materialistic...dinner is nice..but you can do that any day..pack a picnic..go to a local park and find a secluded area...Girls are amazed when guys go out of their way to celebrate their birthdays. Remember that. Money isn't always going to buy the best gift. You know her better than anyone else... Maybe go pick out a perfume you really like the smell of...that means a lot when a guy will take the time to smell the perfume and choose one that he likes...it's all about the effort Hope this was somewhat of help??? lol

Honestly IMO, I think reality TV shows turn a hobby/sport too mainstream. I think it would be awesome ..but what are the actual chances that skydiving would be portrayed in the correct manner?....the lifestyle..the reasoning..the feelings...the emotions.... Once something goes mainstream (IE: West Coast Choppers / Jesse James), they sell out and give everyone what the mass amounts want to see and / or hear. That's just my opinion on it all though...go on.

I agree...I forgot to thank MORE PEOPLE! LOL ...Seriously though.. Thanks to Brian for a wonderful jump on Friday ....got the weekend started juuuuuustttt right Thanks to Doug for the awesome jump...I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DOCKED IN MY SIT! WOOHOOOO!! YOU RAWK! Kim & Kimmy ...thank you both so much for our little formation dive on Sunday afternoon. It really meant a lot to me. On top of that, I feel that both of you seriously helped me fly my best...I guess that's how it goes when you feel relaxed with the other people around you in freefall, not to mention two girls that can fly as amazing as you two! Thanks a million!! Oh yeah...I could have done without the evil eyes and then the mad dash that caused me to go sprawling ungracefully through the sky ...Thanks

Hey Alli, I had just mentioned that to Mel to be completely serious with you! I will definately have to hook up with you soon and go for it! Things were very hectic this weekend by far! I will be out there this weekend as usual and hopefully we can play! Until then, I will talk to you later..It was great to see you again! On a side note..I must thank everyone...I actually was the winner of the scholarship award for freeflying out at spaceland! THANKS A TON!!! This seriously will help me so much, and I cannot say thank you enough!

I'll jump w/ ya Pier! You already know you better have a 'plan' though! You definately don't want me to go dive plan loco on your butt!

All I know is that I had one amazing time at Skyfest. I have to thank Deva first off! Thanks girl for that tracking dive, I learned so much from you and had an amazing time with you and Meg! AggieDave, it was great to meet you as well! I cannot wait until next year, too many 'pre-seconds' to list off..yes yes..i paid my dues......Everyone was really cool and open to jumping w/ us low-number jumpers. Thanks a million to everyone! Oh..and I must add to those 10 individuals out there.....NICE TUBE ON SUNDAY! LOL That was crazy!!!!!

I would say Spaceland out in Rosharon, just because I'm a spoiled newbie that has had the best handed to me from my first jump that I made out there. I wouldn't knock down Skydive Houston only because I have not been there. I work 5 minutes from it, yet I drive all the way to the south side to jump (about an hour). Really awesome people, good equipment, staff..just an awesome place all together. AND there is plenty of open area if you happen to land off!!

Congrats there dude! That's amazing! I was out there this weekend, I'm sure I saw you around. I didn't stand up til my 4th solo!! WHOOPS! For some reason that mud out in the field was not working well with me!! HAHAHA It was definately a wonderful weekend to start! SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Congrats again! LOL @ drill sergeant!!! hahahhaa! Like I was told...Welcome to your newest addiction. (Oh yeah..and trust me..you eventually run out of things to sell!) HAHAA

Hey there! Very good turn out Sunday! Good seeing all the friendly faces again. See you soon, Conway!!

HAHAHHAA!!! BUT WHAT IF I'M 2 INCHES FROM THE GROUND!?!!?!? HAHAHA OMG..I miss you so much, Alan! You need to come back and visit SOON!!! Hope you are enjoying the COLD weather up there!!! Talk to you soon!!!!!!!!!

You know that's right, Reginald!!! I still have dreams about being out there in the star and looking around at everyone w/ this HUGEEEEEE DORKY SMILE ON MY FACE!!! I have never felt more at peace...It was...argh..breathtaking!!
