I Repelled off a 60-foot Tower!!

My husband is on the SWAT team and they were doing some training yesterday. My husband asked me if I would take some photos of them which I was happy to do. So toward the end, I was getting up enough courage to want to try and repel myself. I didn't have any tennis-shoes on so I was told to go barefoot, no big deal. My biggest fear was getting over the side of the building so they were nice enough and had me go out the top window; however, I didn't feel too confident in getting that accomplished at first. So instead of trying to get into the correct position right from the window, I sat on the edge, put my legs straight out and Don pushed me right out and there I was, hanging in mid air! Had to try to calm my breathing because I am terribly scared of heights. Once I got that partially under control I was able to slowly make my way down the side of the building. What a RUSH! But seriously, how often would I have a chance to do something like that again! It was worth it.

I'll be adding a slideshow of pics I took of all the guys...look for that soon. In the meantime, check out the pics of me making my way down...
