Cruising Around Town

Last week I called up some of my friends.

 "Hey, wanna go to Walgreens and buy ice cream then eat it in the Church parking lot?"

"Sure."

Weeellll....It might have not gone exactly like that...

My four friends and I met at Walgreens with our bikes, my friend Jenna and I brought our skateboards. We talked about hobos and discussed where we were going to go from there. We decided to go to Burger King which was a block away, but because of construction we took a LOOOONG detour; and we went past a closed road, but we're alive so it's all good.   After boarding/running (You can't board on those bumpy roads) for around ten minutes (which could have been a two minute walk) we finally arrived at Burger King.  We found an abandon crown from a kid's meal, I fished it out from under the table and placed it on my head. I felt so special. ^_^

After a lot of laughter, stealing french-fries and multiple corny jokes later we decided to hit the soccer fields. We went a few blocks and arrived at the fields, our last destination. I brought the soccer ball out and next thing I know we're playing Monkey-In-The-Middle with five people, we got confused with the rules and resorted to chucking the soccer ball at each other...That wasn't my idea for the record. ;) Once it started to get late we just chilled out on the grass and talked. My mother arrived and I said good-bye to some very good friends.


"Til' next time."


I'll miss those goofs.

Lakes, Ceilings and Snails

The past few weeks were spent in the wonderful State of Indiana. As soon as I entered my house I was engulfed with familiarity. Although I had only been gone from it for two weeks, my childhood burst through. I spent practically my whole life there. Every single memory of me was held inside that house.

Now, the house isn't the only thing that strikes me with memories. The people, the places and the sights do too. My youth group had an event. A Girl's Night. A day where we could stuff our faces, get to know each other, and stay up all night talking about nothing at all. That day was definitely an adventure.

Although it rained and we had to cancel some of our plans we still made up for most of it in the morning.  And to remember this day...

*BLOOP* Photo memory!



Chilling before bed.
My friend found this little guy. Isn't he adorable?
By the next morning I could say: "I washed my hair in a stranger's lake"...This is partially true, I never met the owner of the property we stayed at before I came. But I got to know her by the end of the night. I filled water balloons that we never used due to the rain, I held a snail, ate lots of food and regained friendships with old friends.

That day was certainly an adventure.
