Friends...

I've had a lot of fun the past few weeks with my friends, Ambyr and Mike (her [future] husband). i went to visit them two weeks ago, as i have been saying i would for quite some time. Now, they live in New Jersey.....if you know me you know that i think Jersey is a hole...but this weekend turned that belief around. Jersey isn't THAT bad....Montclair certainly is pretty nice! The Shore isn't that bad either...i was nervous i would get cancer from swimming in the water...oh wait..! I was reassured by Ambyr's dad that the Shore has rejuvenating/healing properties. Surfing was fun, even though i didn't get all the way up on the board. It was fun to play in the water....

We went to NYC that night and ate at a restaurant called Pure Food . It is all raw, and totally delicious. ...according to me. I think you might get a different reaction from Ambyr.
Sunday, we went Skydiving. yup, skydiving. I jumped from an airplane at 13,500ft. Here are some questions people have asked me and my answers.

Weren't you scared..?
No...surprisingly not. It was weird watching my friends fall out of a moving plane that is high in the sky, but i was more excited then scared. Well....i was a little nervous when it was my turn and i looked down and realized..HOLY S#*! I am going to jump out of a plane!!! I do think, that i went into shock on the way down. I certainly would have died had i not gone tandem...I was supposed to pull the cord for the chute, but i totally didn't even think about it..and the guide had to pull it. I sort of froze.

Did you feel like you were flying?
Absolutely not. I felt exactly like i was. a heavy object falling through the air at a fast speed.

Was it peaceful?
No, the air was rushing by your face so quickly that you couldn't even hear yourself think.

Would you do it again?
Totally. I think now that i know what it is like...i know what to expect so i will be a little more focused on other things other then falling.
