Then when I saw the pictures...oh my I almost couldn't look. Good for you! I don't know if I could have done that! I know I won't be checking into any astronaut schools! :)Leigh Anne Eckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558611848583070310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112012300274809736.post-67193019479248825472016-06-21T08:13:39.723-05:002016-06-21T08:13:39.723-05:00I knew you'd do it.

Congratulations on facing this fear and stepping out! The view was a reward, and I'm glad you didn't waver at all, Jennifer. What an amazing sight to see! I don't mind upside down rides, etc., but roller coasters are not for me, either. I always feels as if I'm going to fall off!

I just might have to make a point to stop there and check it out. I can imagine the breath stealing anxiety you must've felt coupled with that sliver of exhilaration for facing your fear. :) Good for you!Lisa Orchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362910320460079639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112012300274809736.post-62863020900495657462016-06-21T07:02:57.014-05:002016-06-21T07:02:57.014-05:00Bravo to you for facing your fears.

I am going to write that one down. Bravo to you for taking the plunge, not literally! I too am afraid of heights and those glass observation decks. I could just feel that prickly sweat as you talked about stepping out there. Astronaut school or riding a roller coaster, I'll cheer you on either way! ~AmyAmy Warntzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07449813200426432125noreply@blogger.com
