Skydiving... Not for the faint hearted

Yesterday 9th December 2013 I completed my first skydive from 12,000 ft and loved it! I had been brought my skydive for my birthday in August and hadn't got around to jumping although to be honest I was happy to wait awhile until the weather picked up for the Australian summertime. 

It is something that I have always wanted to do & sat highly on my bucket list of things in life to do, so when a friend told me she also had a voucher for the same place, it made complete sense to do the jump together - you know for moral support and what not!

It all felt so surreal getting into a harness and going through safety checks before heading to the airport, with the tiny plane, with no door might I add to begin our climb into the air and jump... from a perfectly good plane!! Mixed emotions ran through my body from - what the hell am I doing to this is going to be insane, but nothing prepares you for the rush of adrenaline whilst you hang out of a plane 12,000 ft in the air before jumping out. 

Once in the air, I felt so alive & loving life to the absolute max - from being scared of how high we were to thinking hell yeah I'm doing this!! I am so happy I finally did it & it has made 2013 the best year of my life to date as well as everything else I have done this year - its been a cracker for sure.

And on that note, I leave you with a few photos from the day :)
