During the early stages of their relationship, one particularly memorable event for Jen and Forrest was the celebration of Forrest’s 33rd birthday, which fell in April. To mark the occasion, they, along with a sizable group of friends who also shared April birthdays, decided on an adventurous celebration in Creswell. The plan was to gather and experience the thrill of skydiving.

Their destination was Eugene Skydivers, conveniently located just off the freeway as one enters Creswell. Learn more about Creswell here. Naturally, excitement was tinged with nervousness, and a few friends opted to forego the jump, choosing instead to spectate. However, the weather posed an unexpected challenge that morning, with clouds obscuring the skies. As only two planes were available for the jumps, each accommodating two participants, they had to wait for a break in the clouds.

When a brief respite in the cloud cover occurred, Forrest was assigned to one plane, while another couple joined the second aircraft. It’s worth noting that Forrest had a distinct aversion to heights and was far from being an aviation enthusiast, let alone when it came to small aircraft. With that, he was whisked away, leaving his companions behind for the next few hours as he soared high above Creswell, guided by his instructor’s encouragement to leap from the plane.

Forrest’s eventual return to the airport was accompanied by a pale complexion and a vivid account of his harrowing experience. His tale evoked laughter, but given the hours they had spent waiting for the clouds to clear, the rest of the group was determined to take their turn. After all, how often does one prepare for such an adventure?

The clouds once again parted, and it was Jen’s turn to take the plunge. Contrary to the belief that you don’t feel like you’re falling after jumping from an airplane, Jen could distinctly sense the descent as she sailed through the tiny tufts of clouds with her mouth wide open—an exhilarating yet terrifying experience. However, once the parachute was deployed, the world transformed into a breathtaking vista. It was an experience she would cherish, provided she didn’t have to leap from an airplane again.
