Looking Forward....

I guess I'm really looking forward to college. I'm also scared silly, cause I will be like two hours away from everyone I love. But I guess I will meet new people and eventually be alright. I just remember my friend Alex writing me to say how much he was freaking out about his first week or two of college. Now he's alright and he loves it, but still. That first few weeks are going to be scary. I'm also looking forward to summer.... I'm onto year number three at East Bay as a lifeguard. I love it. Hopefully Iwill be getting another motorcycle really soon too.... depends on graduation money. But yeah.. I've definitly got a lot of things to look forward to.

Top 10 Favorite Vacations

10) Colorado- Since my sister is adopted we always meet with the other girls she was in the orphanage with and their families once every few years. Normally we just rent a few cabins, eat, talk, and swim for 3 or 4 days. Colorado was my favorite of these experiences though because there was so much to do. We were at a place called Estes Park, and there was tons of hiking, sports, and swimming to do. And it wwas on top of the mountain.



9)Virginia- This one was a while ago. But we basically hung out at Cape May for a week, it was really secluded and sweet. We even had to ride a farry for like 4 hours to get to it. The cooolest thing my parents did though was rent a 4 person bicycle for us to ride around town in. I still have a rock that I found on the beach.



8) Wisconson- We drove really far north to a place I can't remember now, but it was really cool. I got to rent a sailboat and teach my dad to sail on Lake Michigan. They also had a really really cool restaurant that had goats on the roof, litereally, like there was even grass growing on the roof for the goats to eat. CRAZY. The water was really clear too, even though it wasn't a good thing.



7)Florida Deca Trip- I went through my AVC, and even though there was only 5 other people going besides my teacher and her mom, it was pretty sweet. My teacher basically let us run wild the entire time, and we walked everywhere surprisingly enough not getting into too much trouble. Swimming at 2 in the morning, riding roller coasters all day... it was sweet.



6)Canada- Nova Scotia was super pretty too. Cold. But cool. I don't really know what to say about it, but Niagra Falls was sweet. And farther up north the fog was so thick you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.



5)Wyoming- My family and myself went to Yellowstone, which was super cool. I don't really know why since the whole place smelled like rotten eggs. But it was really pretty, and there was a lot of cool scenery. I love hiking and my parents actualyl let me go out a few times with my sister.



4)California( time #2) The first experience was TERRIBLE. Third was also not so great. Second was pretty good though, all we really did was hang out and go to the beach. It was a good time, nobody was too cranky, and I got to see my baby nephew for the first time.



3)Florida by myself- A couple years ago my sister still lived in Florida. Well I was getting really sick of high school, friends, and family. I basically found the ticket by myself, set up everything, and told my parents all I needed was their credit card. Shockingly they agreed, and I got to spend spring break in Florida helping my sister plan for her wedding.



2)Florida with the girls-Myself and my 3 best friends went on a mission trip to Tampa. We yelled at each other a lot, and my youth pastor though we were going to kill each other. But honestly it was a good time, we messed around the entire time, and got to meet soem really cool people



1)Australia- I went with my dad in the 6th grade, and it was AWESOME. We went all over from Sydney, to the outback. I got to snorkle, swim upstream a mile with aligators to a mega huge waterfall, and see the place where Ned Kelly was hung. I can't wait to go back...
