Sky Diving on my 30th Birthday... ALMOST

So Eli had a surprise for me on my birthday too. SKY DIVING! Something I have always wanted to do on my 30th birthday, but since I had been surprised with an awesome birthday weekend the weekend before, I didn't expect it. We drove a few hours away and then Eli blindfolded me. I got out and we were at an airport! Nervous and excited all at once, we walk in. I get all signed in and then we head to the back outside to wait for my turn. A little while later, my Mom, Dad, Wendi, Maddie and Wesley completely surprise me again when they show up. Mom (and Dad) made me a cake and everything, it was super cute!
So we wait....and wait... and wait!
Finally my name is called, I meet my tandem guy and get all harnessed up and get the quick instructions. We wait a little more, getting super excited at this point. Then I get bumped to the next group....harness off... kinda getting ticked...then the winds pick up.... more waiting.... and more waiting. We got to the place around 10:30 AM and its around 4 by this point. A little later the lady behind the counter comes to our group and tells us that it is probably not gonna happen today. So we pack up and leave. Totally bummed at this point.
I guess between the waiting, not eating or drinking, sun and smoke, I get a migraine that will last for the next 24 hours.
I now have a gift certificate for a jump and can't wait to post pictures from the REAL thing!
