I am officially booked for skydiving for my birthday. I called Pacific Coast Skydiving this morning and booked my jump for 9:00 am on the 23rd. I called at the right time, because they are booking up for Memorial Day weekend. I’m not nervous, but I may be as the day approaches. I mean how many people jump out of an airplane to commemorate 25 years of a life that isn’t over yet? I guess I just want to go big for it, and you really only live once. I think I’m beating my golden birthday from two years ago. Meeting Bob Barker was great, but I think jumping out of an airplane is much more memorable.
I’m also being the adult in a situation. I have agreed to see my real dad, after over 10 years. I’m not going to hold him resoponsible for his addiction. Life is short, and I realized that my father will be 60 years old this October. I’m not saying that he is going to replace my stepdad (he has been around in my life for 11 years, so I consider him my dad), but I would like to let Mike (my father) know that I have a heart full of forgivness. I am not expecting a relationship, however, I can be the bigger person and make the first step.
It is going to be quite the birthday this year! I get to go to San Diego to see family and jump to my death! Just kidding, but I know I will have a blast!
