There were only nine of us on the plane. Henri and Israel went out first, Brian and Josh were next. Together, Nick and I stuck our heads outside of the plane and looked down to make sure we were clear to jump.  It was cloudy, but I could see the drop zone and we weren't near any clouds.  It looked good.  Nick signaled Gigi and she climbed out before us. Nick and I got into place, and I began the count.

When we left the plane, I did something funky. I think I did an extra kick or something. It wasn't a big deal. We got stable right away and Nick released me after my two practice touches. I checked my altitude and made a 90 degree turn to the right. I was facing Nick! Cool. I checked my altitude and made a 90 degree turn to the left. I was making turns! I checked my altitude and made another right turn. Very cool! I must have had the biggest smile! Nick smiled back. I did another left turn and then one more to the right.

We were below 7,000 feet, so Nick signaled me to stop making turns. I checked my altitude and tried to relax. I waved off and pulled at 5,000 feet. I felt so incredible! Another perfect canopy above my head!
