My Awesome Weekend!!! :)
Last weekend was the BEST weekend I have had in a while! Seriously, so amazing!!
I went white water rafting in West Virginia with a group of about 29 people. (I only actually knew 2 of the people in the group, but we all got along so well, it was perfect!)
Highlights of my trip:
1) First off, I went Cliff-jumping!!! (yes, I actually jumped off a cliff into the water, and for those of you who know me well, that was EXTREMELY difficult for me!!!) There were three different cliffs that our guides took us too. One was 25 ft, one was 40 and the other was 65!! I started on the 25..which actually wasn't too bad, but when I was standing on the edge I definitely didn't want to jump. I did it though, so then decided to try the 40. For that one I seriously stood at the edge for probably a half an hour. I was SO SO SO scared..i was shaking..but, I eventually just went ahead and did it, cause I knew I would regret it if I didn't. It was really awesome! On of the guides even got my jump on tape! I got a huge wedgie, but it was SO worth it. I was actually more scared to jump then I was scared to sky-dive..weird huh? I didn't even think about the 65 though..that was a little too much for me, although 4 of the guys in our group did it. One of them got pretty hurt, but was still ok. I'm just very proud of myself!! (and Erica too..she also did the 25 and 40) :)
2) The actual rafting was awesome! I had gone before, so I knew what to expect, but it was really cool. On one of the rapids we actually flipped our raft on purpose, which was really fun! We swam down a couple of the rapids also..which was cool! They were the weak rapids so we wouldn't die..
3)There were 4 white ducks that joined us for breakfast every morning!! I LOVE ducks...but have never actually been up close to them. These ducks were SO cute and we could actually feed them from our hands! That made me SUPER happy!
Other fun memories:
1) Trying to play beer pong on a small and very uneven picnic table!
2) Challenging our white trash camping neighbors to a flip cup tournament (they called it tippie cup)
3) Dancing with Kyle and Zack at the Campground bar. (yes, our campground actually had a bar..lol)
4) Pranks at 4am with silly string and a water gun.
5) Jumping on the trampoline late late at night.
6) The Pune-tang pie t-shirt!
7) Volleyball games for the promotional video
8) Water balloon fights
9) Rafting Team Ultimate Power!!
10) Captain Steve!
11) Having beers thrown down to us from the 65 ft cliff (yeah, most of the time they exploded)
12) "The fire-jumper!"
13) Late night talks
14) Rock climbing and hiking in only a bathing suit (not a smart idea)
15)Group speeches by Adam "Listen up Bitches!"
16)Seeing "pretty girl guide's boob's"
17) Tent hide and go seek
18) Playing circle of death (or at least trying to teach it to everyone)!
19) Learning how to play a song on the guitar..not very well though.. (song from deliverance)
20) Adam's naked tribal dance
21) The Hicks-ville boys
22) The rafting cheer/handshake
Hmm..there are probably more..but that is all I can think of right now..

Although the majority of the weekend was great, on a much sadder note, my grandpa died last night. I wasn't terribly close with him, but it is still very hard to lose someone you love. That has been two people in the last three weeks.
My mom was so sad. She came into my room last night at midnight crying harder than I have ever seen her cry. She was asking if I would go tot he funeral with her. It made me so very sad. I will miss him.
