one thing checked off on the bucket list

last week shel and i went to san diego for marissa's wedding and to see rk since he gets out of the marines in t-minus 3 days from today. can i please move to san diego? we left on thursday and came back today...i almost had to be dragged on the plane as i was praying we would miss it. anyway, it was quite an eventful trip. we went to del mar beach, multiple in-n-out trips, dancing, knott's berry farm, driving around in "the golden egg" in downtown san diego, a quick trip to LA, a visit to malibu to lay out on zuma beach, and coronado. although this was all a blast, there was one thing that we did that is my new found love. i jumped out of a plane at 13000 feet. yes, i went skydiving. i have always wanted to, but never have been able to. rk and i have been talking about it since the beginning of april, and so yes, i jumped out a perfectly good plane (yes, tandem, but that is a small detail right?)
so skydiving is the biggest rush. the guys at the place we jumped told us never to come back because it is like heroin. well i don't know what heroin is like, but i am now addicted to skydiving, or at least i wish i could be (financially it probably is not the best addiction). i didn't buy the video, but there are before and after pictures. please, if you have the chance....GO! you will not regret it.
anyway, here are a few pictures. i'm sure i'll post some more stories/pictures after i recover from being sleep-deprived. oh..another fabulous thing...THERE IS PANERA IN CALIFORNIA!
