Writer's Block: Remembering Summer
I've got a few... *Mostly reverse chronological order*
1. Stina's birthday at Bee's old house! That was the first time I'd hung out with 'the family' outside of school.
...... Choosing to skip of the cheesy part and go right to Stina and Bee renewing their vows in the pool. xD
2. Getting to see Jacob and Anny the last two times I went to California! <3 Jacob is my very best friend out of all my friends in California. We've been through a lot of stuff together, and I know he's always gonna be there for me. (Partially because I'm convinced some part of him still has a crush on me, bahhhaha) And Anny is just so much fun to be around. She's crazy and nice and speaks her mind no matter the consequences. It was amazing to get to hang out with both of them and catch up.
3. Surprisingly, the road trip we took when we moved out here. Yeah, it sucked being stuck next to a stir-crazy Matthew, especially going through Kansas and the Painted Desert, where there is NOTHING to distract you outside the car (20 minutes into going through Painted Desert, everything starts looking exactly the same to you; it sucksss)... But I got to see so many amazing things on that road trip. It was the first time (And only time..) I'd been to Vegas and staying in New York, New York made me want to see what NYC is REALLY like. We got to go to a Native American reservation called Sky City. It was so cool walking through the town because all the buildings were pueblos; it was kind of unreal. And I ended up talking to a girl who was only a few years older than me about what life is like on the reservation. I don't remember her name, but she was so excited to talk about her life there. She said she had friends outside of the reservation, and I remember asking if she ever got jealous of everything they had that she didn't. She told me, "Yeah, I get jealous sometimes. We don't really have a chance to play video games, watch TV, or even go to the movies very often out here. We're kind of isolated. But then I remind myself that I'm part of something that hardly anybody else is. They've got all their stuff, and all their friends have the same stuff, but what I have is truly unique." ...... She was pretty incredible. :] .... Also on the trip, I got to go to the Hoover Dam for the first time. Talk about massive. It was also the first time I went to Albuquerque, and I completely fell in love with it.
4. Cruise around the border of Alaska with Matt and my grandparents... I honestly have no words for how beautiful Alaska is. I saw glaciers for the first time. I saw wild bald eagles, humpback whales, and grizzly bears for the first time. I was taken through the woods by a dog sled team whose owner participates in the Iditarod every year. I drank the purest water imaginable; there was a water fountain on a hike we took that used runoff from the ice on the mountains. I got to go kayaking (for the first time) in the ocean. It was utterly mind-blowing.
... I'll stop boring you all now. xD
