On Tuesday I had the time of my life!!! I went SKYDIVING!! My friends and I went to North Wollongong to skydive with Skydive the Beach. We went up to 14,000 ft and fell for a 60 second freefall, overlooking the beach coastline from Sydney to Wollongong. It was absolutely beautiful. I was definitely nervous right before my instructor, Kevin, and I fell out of the plane, but once we had been falling for a few seconds, I got used to the feeling and just smiled the whole rest of the way I can’t even describe how it felt…my heart dropped when I first fell out of the plane, but after that, all I could think about was how crazy it was that I was falling through the sky! My goggles kept moving up, so that was annoying, but besides that, just looking down and seeing the beach was unbelievable. When the parachute came out Kevin let me take over the hand loops and steer us around in the sky. Ahhh it was SO amazing!!! I would do it again in a heartbeat. My friends Ashley, Sarah, Lauren, and I were all on the biggest high the rest of the day. We each got a CD of 430 pictures and a DVD of the entire experience from beginning to end. The DVD is awesome…pretty hilarious too. Kevin interviewed me throughout, and since the camera was attached to him the whole time, my entire fall is on it. I can’t wait to show it to you!
The rest of the week was boring compared to that amazing day...I had my first paper due on Friday and I have a campaign proposal for my media relations class due next week. School’s getting harder, but it comes in spurts so thankfully it is not too stressful. Today my friends and I went to the Sydney Aquarium in Darling Harbour which was fantastic! The seals and the shark tank was definitely my favorite part. We saw Nemo, Dori, and the rest of the “Finding Nemo” fish. Life down under is still incredible, but I have been missing my friends from Hope more, now that everyone is back in Holland. As much as I love it here, I know I will be excited to come home and see all of my friends. I’m sure three months will fly by, so I must continue to enjoy every minute! I love you all…thanks for reading, and if you have any prayer requests or just want to say ‘hi’ I would love to hear from you! Peace and Love
