Hey ya'll .. I guess it's about time I do that 'summer ending' update and then shut this thing down for good .. I'm all moved in in Charlottesville and already loving my 3rd year .. But each day that passes here, I hold the summer of 2005 very close to my heart .. i know that it was a blessing, and I thank God that I got to expereince each and every memory .. it changed my life forever, and it's something that will be a part of me forever
Friday the 13th of May .. the day that it all began .. this is a really great story actually, haha* Bonnie, Nikki, and I were bored, as usual, so we decided to go INSIDE walmart and look around .. we found the watergun section and decided to buy a couple of waterguns and go shoot cars crusing the walmart parking lot .. haha .. well, we never got that far, cause it turns out there was another plan for us .. as we walked to the checkout counter we ran into Colby, Jacob, and Jerry .. I said my hellos to everyone, got formally introduced to Jerry, and then they started asking us what in the world we were going to do with waterguns and a shark mask and fin set (that was mine .. haha) .. when we told them our idea, they seemed to have a better one .. they invited us to go back to their house, and we'd have a water fight there .. so, we decided that'd be fun .. we said goodbye, checked out, and headed over .. abram and abe were there when we arrived .. so we all got into seperate cars, jacobs jeep and abes jeep, and we had the most fun water war ever, haha* we sped around norton, up and down the hills, chasing each other and running from the water .. it was amazing fun .. after that, since it was still early we talked about what else we could do .. something fun, exciting, and totally memorable .. 'how about the haunted orphange?' yes, that was it, that would be something we'd never forget .. so we loaded into the cars again, and headed to wise .. so we parked the cars, and walked down the road, being video taped the whole time, and starting to freak out more and more the closer we got .. after we got through the tall, wet, gross, grass we walked through the door .. WE MADE IT!! haha .. it was an amazing rush that i'll never forget .. so we had some fun, took some pics, saw some birds (lol), and then headed back down the hill and to the cars .. after we got home that night, i realized i hadn't smiled so much, or been that happy, in a long long long time .. it was the best feeling i'd ever had, and something inside me told me it wasn't a feeling that was going to go away ..
and that was it .. the rest of the summer we were together .. we talked to the guys every day, and were with them 99% of the nights .. with each day that passed we got close and closer to each other, and before we knew it, we were all having the most amazing summer of our lives .. sure there were rough spots, fights, and things that went waaaaaaay wrong .. but in the end, we were still there together, getting through it no matter what ..
i'll always remember ... the nights of vh1 and slight bordem, but togetherness that made it special .. the nights of riding on the knob and looking at the person sitting beside you and realizing what friendship really meant .. the nights on the trampoline, looking at the stars, when words weren't needed at all .. the nights we'd run to hardees or mcdonalds for food at 12 cause someone would always be hungry .. the nights every single one of them would kill me slowly and get to hear my lectures about 'quitting' haha .. the game of truth or dare that made everything just a lil more weird, but was totally worth it .. the nights we'd get a lil crazy, but always look out for eachother .. the movies that were watched, even a few girly ones cause they loved us that much .. the camping trip that ended the summer with a bang .. and the goodbyes that still replay in my mind ..
i love you all .. each of you are a light in my life and a blessing that i will never take for granted .. each of you holds a special place in my heart, and will until the day i die .. thank you, for the best summer of my life and thank you for loving me no matter what .. i miss you all terribly, and i think of you every day ..
