No Longer A 50738

Now I am B 30176.

This past weekend was my first weekend with my B License and the rewards continued......and maybe a bit more respect was gained also. My intention on Saturday was to do two hop and pops from 10,000 feet to get in a lot of canopy time and I was able to do that. In addition Tom offered me two one on one coach jumps basically free which was awesome. Not only did I learn a lot, I held my own also.

Sunday was my first day with Doc Rocks - I think the team will be Val, Shari, Wendy and myself. It will be interesting to see where this four way team goes from here. I have to say that day one exceeded my expectations over the five jumps we got in and I also had a good time with the group. I also sneaked in another hop and pop from altitude - clearly those are becoming my secret personal passion. Being up there for 10 minutes carving around clouds and spiraling around is the most relaxing and amazing part of my day when I get to do that.

146 jumps and counting.

Again my heart kinda stopped tonight. I was headed to dinner this evening and as I was pulling into the parking lot I thought I saw her car. If I had been pulled over I don't think I could have passed a sobriety test because I was so dumbfounded. Why does that still happen? It's been almost 4 years now and I still get that feeling. It is still a part of me. I think I have moved on but something is still there that just kills me.
