Turbulence!!

My wife is a flight attendant for Skywest.  On Saturday morning she called out to go to Great Falls, MT.  I didn't have anything going on so I hopped on the flight with her to be able to spend the day with her.  The flight was going well and we were about a half hour away from landing in Great Falls.  The pilots had announced earlier in the flight that we might be experiencing moderate turbulence.  Suddenly the plane dropped like 20 feet.  It then went side to side and up and down for the next few minutes!  For me, this was exciting!  I love flying and turbulence gives me an adrenaline rush!  The guy sitting next to me wasn't big on flying but maintained very calm during the ordeal.  There was a lady in the bathroom during the turbulence broke the door!!  Both pilots said that that was the worst turbulence they have ever experienced.  The severe turbulence that we experienced caused that a mechanic from Skywest had to come and inspet the whole plane for other damage that may have occured.  Everyone on the plane was well and handled it all very well.  It was an exciting flight!  I can't wait for the next very turbulent flight!
