A Leap of Faith....

Julia jumped off the side off a cliff, this was her first time hand gliding alone. She had been on so many trips with her husband Kevin trying to help her get the hang of it , when one of her best friends Donna video the whole thing to show to her family and friends. Soaring high in the sky she remember this special moment looking out beyond the horizon.



Donna her best friend narrated on when Julia first started hand gliding by capturing her saying this in a video.

Panic and fear set in when Julia first started, watching others falling suddenly at taking -off or  crashing when landing. What was the enjoyment of this sport she thought, but Kevin would gently ease her fears by saying " You can do this , I'm right by your side, I won't let anything happen to you."

Happily in love both Kevin and Julia remembered when they first met and how he proposed to her in Las Vegas where they had the time of their lives. She was there with some of her friends gambling , drinking and just having fun when Kevin spotted her leant over throwing dice on the table calling for seven or eleven. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He knew she was his life and the woman of his dream.

As he approached the crap table, Julia blew on the dice and her eyes locked with Kevin. A long pause took place as they starred at each other , when suddenly a man yelled out, throw the dice and broke her spell. Kevin had taken out one hundred dollars to place a bet . He bet everything on Julia's roll as the dice rolled across the table. His heart pounded everytime she looked over at him. Seven was announced and they won.

He collected his winnings and gave her while Julia took it without hesitation. This was his time to ask for her name and could he have her phone number. Before she could speak her friend Joyce said " The party bus is here it's time to go ", Joyce grabbed  her hand and pulled  her away from the gambling table. Kevin had collected all her winning and ran after them.That was when Julia invited him to join them.

Music was blasting as girls were  half -naked and  sliding up and down on a stripers' pole. Kevin didn't know what to do with himself.  His only concern was Julia and how he could  know her better. Seeing men throwing money around and smoking marijuana as he tried to approach the woman who captivated his heart. Where was she, he wondered in the smoke filled bus, but standing behind him she whispered in his ear, " Are you having fun yet ?" as she handed him a drink.

Dancing around him and teasing with him, Julia was interested in getting to know him as well, with long beautiful brown hair standing six feet tall and high cheek bone , she could have been a model. The bus pulled up to their hotel after driving around town for hours. While exiting the bus they both  took a stroll down the Las Vegas Strip to talk and came  across a little boutique where   Kevin purchased a ring without her knowledge as she went to try on a dress in the store. 

 He waited patiently and as Julia came out from the dressing room  he lifted her up and twirled her around and asked " Will you marry me " She  too replied  "why not! Let's get married right now." Often she would tell her family and friends that she was tired of  loneliness . Now she met her perfect man, this young handsome man that she adored asked her hand in marriage.


 Looking for the right dress for the occasion. Kevin couldn't believe she said ''.... Yes!''. Pacing up and down the store, he was in disbelief.  He uttered  "She said yes", he clasped his hands together and went on his knees, he prayed first and said, "God please don't let her change her mind, I love her and want to marry her with all my heart. "

Coming out of the dressing room , Kevin raised his head up and looked at  her angelic face. ''Will you marry me?'',  as he held her hand. Julia looked  down at Kevin, spewed vomit all over him and laughed aloud and still said ''Yes''. This was one awkward moment for Kevin and needless to say he didn't care about what just happen. He was elated with the beauty of his future bride to- be even in her drunken state. 

After purchasing a new suit and cleaning up the terrible mess Julia made , they found a lovely little Chapel and got married.
 It was love at first sight. They went on to have two beautiful children and enjoyed traveling with family and friends, as she flew high amongst the clouds.
