After several failed attempts to make her first tandem jump, Johanna Nelson's birthday wish finally came true at Skydive Elsinore on a beautiful Southern California day in May. Joining in on the fun was cousin Courtney Anderson, who was visiting from Colorado, party planner and boyfriend AJ Nocita, Kimberly Nocita, Bart Rogowski and Paul Rodriguez. Weather conditions, friends backing out and scheduling problems had kept Johanna from realizing her dream of making her first jump. But this time, when it was time to go, there wasn't anything in the way but blue skies and white clouds. Happy 29th Birthday, Johanna! Can't wait to see what you do for your 30th!!

Cousin Courtney hadn't been up since last November
when she and Kimberly jumped at Perris, but she got right
back in the harness and was ready to go! |

Bart was ready to go up and have some fun with
Kim, Courtney and Paul. |
