Part 3

…Green GO! GO! GO!  What a rush.  Whoops, Hollars, and yelps as we all run full force out of a perfectly good airplane.   Adrenaline is pumping as the drone chute leaves my hand to give some control a little below terminal velocity.  It’s is like flying.  The ground is so far away, it does not seem you will reach it.  It is loud, stick your head out of a car doing 120mph…that is the sound, well besides my own high pitched frenzy.  There is nothing like 60 seconds of free fall.  “Pull the Chord!” There is a loud distinctive snapping sound of the chute opening, and then I am jerked up in the air instantly with such ferocity that every undergarment i am wearing is now in the wrong place.  And it is instantly …..silent… So quiet so peaceful, not only physically but emotionally, “I did it, and looks like I am going to live.”  There are 4 minutes of air time to the ground.  What a view, what a feeling, what an experience.

Getting married so exciting.  It’s fun. It is an experience like none other.  It can be such a rush of enthusiasm and adrenaline and the next second being so content hugging or kissing the one you love.  You will have a great sense of accomplishment.  You did it, you really did it and now here you are experiencing loving someone and being loved, the basis of human need.  What some describe as bliss you now experience with that person whom you have decided to spend the rest of your life with.

What I have described above are moments.  And hopefully they are frequent and typical.  But they are not always.  There is nothing wrong with that.  Once you get through a few rough spots, you will realize that you both can do this.  This is real and it is wonderful and it was worth the risk.
