Facing one of my biggest fears!



I did it! I faced one of my biggest fears...riding a roller coaster! We went to california adventure with our good friends Justin, Brittany, and their son Adam (James's little buddy) We've been there so many times and I've always said I could never go on california screamin' the mickey mouse roller coaster that has the huge drops and a loop! The biggest I'd ever go on is space mountain, I don't even like splash mountain because of the drop. We were watching the biggest loser the other night and they were talking about facing your fears to gain courage and strength. I told Cameron that I really thought it was time for me to face going on a roller coaster (something I have always told myself I would never do in this lifetime, even for a million dollars!) He laughed at first of course because I've told him before that I would do it and backed out at the last minute. Anyways, I sat in the cart and didn't want to pull down the harness and I even told the worker that I changed my mind and was about to hop off, when Cameron and Justin told me I could do it! I pulled it down so tight and started screaming before we even started moving I was so nervous, people in line thought I was such a baby I'm sure. I kept screaming and just kept saying in my head If I can push out a 9 lb baby than I can do this! I hated the first drop but as it went on, I loved the loop and the speed. I have never screamed so loud in my life and when we got off the ride I was jumping up and down and sceaming "I did it! I finally did it, and I would do it again, even though the drops were scary." We had such a fun day after that anticipation was over with by actually overcoming a huge fear. James had fun with his little friend adam and our family day was great. Cameron and Justin went on the tower of terror after, that was a no for me! I think I would puke on that one.
