met here while married to my first wife
My wife fell out of the heavens and landed at my feet - no sh*t but let me explain...
Where else but at a....skydiving event (what we call a "boogie"); she was jumping with some people I knew, and we all went out on a load together. What you've got to understand is that:
a) There are few women who skydive
b) Even fewer are actually HOT
c) The HOT ones are usually taken; and
d) She'd acutally LIKE me.
A million-to-one set of odds. She had recently broken up with a non-skydiver (It's hard to date out of the 'gene pool' because most non-jumpers can't understand jumpers). Anyway, I saw her land further out than everyone, so I came back and landed near her and walked in with her. Talked a bit that day and at the party later; but didn't hit on her figured she was with someone else (but I couldn't spy who it was). At the end of the boogie, I asked for her email address, mostly to add to group of people planning to go jumping; gave her mine.
Where it really gets wierd: When I got home the next day, I decided - what the heck I had nothing to lose - I'd send her an email, tell her I thought she was interesting, and if she wasn't attached to someone would she like to go out - so I typed it up and sent it. About 2 minutes later, before she received it, I got an email from her saying, "I dont' want to be forward, but I really had a nice time with you this weekend - would you be interested in going out?" Totally freaked me out I don't get asked out often. I still have that email somewhere. Oh wait, here it is:

6 months later we were engaged; 4 months later married; 3 years later a beautiful little girl; 10 years and counting - and we still jump (just not as much). That's why when people ask I say "she fell out of the heavens and landed at my feet"
Am I the luckiest guy on the planet, or what?
dude - skydiving with flipflops?
