I am going to Seattle August 24-31!!! FOR FREE!!! My uncle, whom I haven't talked to since Christmas, called me at 11:00 this morning and said he needed a babysitter. I said "Ummm, maybe you should get someone closer to home?" haha. I guess the problem is he doesn't trust anyone with Trinity (my four year old cousin) for the four days and he and my aunt are going to be gone. Okay cool, right? Yes, totally. They have to go to Detroit from the 25-28 to interview Kenny Chesney. My aunt works at radio station (she's been DJ-ing for YEARS). I guess Mr. Chesney's record label requested my aunt Val to interview him. My uncle is going to help with production/equipment stuff. Basically, I get a free plane ticket, free lodging, free sight seeing (when they get back), free food. Plus, I am getting paid for the baby sitting.
I have NEVER been on a plane. I have NEVER had a real vacation. I am beyond thrilled and I absolutely cannot wait to get there!
My dad, step mother, and their four kids came to visit on Wednesday. They left this morning. We went sight seeing, hiking, dinners, hang outs. It was a lot more fun than I was expecting it to be. I actually cried this morning when I thought about them leaving. My three and six year old brothers and incredible. They're SO smart and adorable and fun. My 23 year old step brother is pretty much as bro as they come. haha. I even had fun with him though. Turns out The Postal Service is one of his favorite bands. I don't know, man. I don't understand. I would've never imagined that we have anything in common. Anyway, it was a blast. Amazingamazing. Pictures to come later.
My father gave me a cold. I have the whole sick eyes thing going on...you know, the thing where your eyes feel heavy and they're bloodshot. I can't stop sniffling. I probably have a fever. I haven't had a cold in like ummm, since Christmas time, I think.
The weather here is spectacular right now. Lighting. Thunder. Humidity. Love it.
It is very likely that I will be losing my job while in Seattle. Is it horrible that I don't care? I am ready to leave this place. Maybe I will just stay in Seattle...maybe.
I wanted to say something else but I completely forgot what it was. I'll remember later.
