skydivermom 0 #1 April 23, 2006 I made my first tandem jump....and got bitten by THE BUG! The day couldn't have been any better. Four awesome jumps, stand-up landings, and a sunset jump as the grand finale. As an added treat, Jeff Patricio shot this picture of me doing a three way with Russel and Jenny Miksch. Jeff had no idea I was celebrating one of the most changing days in my life. So here's a pic of my first skydive...and then one a year later (I'm in the orange)! It's truly amazing.Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JENNR8R 0 #4 April 23, 2006 Congratulations Kathleen! I'm very happy for you! And, I'm not at all jealous that I didn't get to jump this weekend. [cough, cough, looking around nervously for lightening to strike] The friendships we've made in this sport are truly God sent. Maybe we'll get to jump together this summer. I thank my God in all my remembrance of you. Philippians 1:3What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.

popsjumper 2 #11 April 24, 2006 Hopefully we'll get to meet you at Skyfest and if you go, I would like to be on your SCR/SCS jump...you gotta get one. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivermom 0 #12 April 24, 2006 *** I would like to be on your SCR/SCS jump...you gotta get one. __________________________________________________ I want to come to skyfest...and it would be an honor to meet and jump with you, but I'm very sure I will not be ready for an SCR load by then. I'm still very nervous jumping with three other people 8 to 10 would scare me to death.Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluskidave 0 #13 April 24, 2006 Boy does time fly, no pun intended.Congradulations on getting your first rig, BEER, your A license, and jumping at several drop zones in the great state of Texas. I'll bet that by this time next year you will have a couple of hundred jumps under your belt. Blue Skies, Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivermom 0 #14 April 24, 2006 Hi Dave, I'm asking for critiques of my three-way picture in the skydiving discussions forum. My body position is an issue, as well as my exit. If they had let go of me, we would not have stayed together. I really, really want to work on that. In spite of that, I'm having an absolute blast!
