wightout 0 #1 April 10, 2006 Saturday was an extraordinary day for me! Did my first solo (finished AFF in Jan @ the Memorial Boogie in Mesquite, NV - see article in Parachutist). No pressures to pass anything. For the first time, it was just really, really, really FUN. My second jump was even better. All of the butterflies were gone and I just wanted to go up and jump. Sat. was the first time I started feeling like a skydiver. (I've got a ways to go, I think I should have my A before I start calling myself a skydiver. ) Beautiful spring weather here in Utah. Finally got to fly with my friends (lookin forward to doing that a LOT!!). Didn't do anything stupid, and did a lot of things right. Landed 15' away from the windsocks on my first jump. Stood up my second jump. I've re-evaluated my timetable for getting my A. It WAS by 4th July weekend...weather permitting...I'm changing that to Memorial Day weekend!! GOD I LOVE MY LIFE! IT'S MONDAY MORNING AND I STILL CAN'T STOP SMILING! One weird side note - my first solo, first load of the day, plane was loaded with the DZ regulars I've gotten to know a bit over the winter...two chops...in one load! My friend and the DZO both had to chop! Very weird...but both walked away so I'm still smilin!To borrow a line from Squeak...MY LIFE ROCKS!! HOW'S YOURS??!!!
