this is all so new

So I finally started a blog! And it was mostly because of Jeff. I also started reading everyone elses blogs and I decided I really wanted one. But to tell you the truth I am terrified and not sure why I actually did it. Just write, so everyone can see the inner you? I dunno, i'm nervous! And i am a terrible writer and I am going to feel embarrassed writing when everyone else sounds so proffesional...

Anywho....I just have to start off by saying I only graduated a month ago and this has already been a summer to remember. Although I haven't seen my best friend in about two weeks...But the summer started off with an amazing senior trip, which everyone already knows about. Paradise! and my hammock was amzazing! :) That trip was followed by three days in Lake Powell which is one of my favorite places on earth! Just boating and soaking up the sun! After I was home for a week, but it was packed! My birthday was amazing! Saw Get Smart, and it is hilarious! Had such a fun party with all my amazing friends! And i got good presents! A new camera and everything! Then I went skydiving! Most amazing thing I think i will ever do in my entire life. Ali came evern though she wasn't 18 just to watch me! [we're going in August for her birthday!] Me, my mom and dad, 2 uncles, my grandpa, and my cousin all went. It was so so cool! We had 55 seconds of freefall and it was the fastest minute of my life! Then i got to steer the parachute and the view was breathtaking. And the land was a piece of cake! That night I got to babysit my adorable cousing and Ali kept me company. Love that girl. Then we made a summer playlist which I know we are going to listen to all the time! Sunday I left for London! We stopped in Cincinnati. From there to the Gatwick airport we had first class and it was the most amazing 7 hours ever! You are constantly being fed and you have your own personal TV and reclining chairs with footrests. You get comfy pillows and sweet blankets! We spent 2 1/2 days in London. The buildings there are amazing. Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament were my favorite! We also got to go to Wimbeldon and watch centre court! It was so cool! We saw all the major spots. St. Pauls Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abby, Tower of London (which doesn't even have a tower?), Tower Bridge and got to ride the tube and a double decker bridge across London Bridge! Everything there is old and so was our hotel, it had 2 double beds for 5 of us. Talk about cramped! But it was still fun. Flying home was quite the adventure. We flew from Heathrow to New York [first class all the way!] We got to New York at abou 8:30 and slept there. Not comfy. The next morning we flew from JFK to L.A. coast to coast. Ate in-n-out! Mmm! From there we were finally able to fly home! Then it was the fourth of July and my whole family went to Moss Ledge to make breakfast and hike to the waterfall. We came to find during breakfast that this guy had fallen climbing the waterfall and so there were all these ambulances and cops and all this stuff. Me and Savannah got in trouble for trying to hike to the waterfall! That night we swam at my grandma's house which is fun. Saturday we went to our cabin and then to the rodeo. I learned I really like rodeos! The clown was so funny. And the bullfighters amaze me. They really put their life on the line for those cowboys. I made the goal I want to kiss a cowboy one day. :) We slept at our cabin and rode four-wheelers and had a good time. It was quite the party. And now I have a while, no vacations till girls camp, which is always the best! But i'm excited to finally spend some time with my girls! I miss them...

I've learned girls can say mean things when they get mad at something so stupid. I am an example of that. Something trivial happened and it really made me mad, I said stupid things and I lost one of my best friends for a while. And boy did I miss her. But things are ok now, as of like 2 minutes ago! Think before you speak, and this is something i must work on. Well I think this is all I have to say for now. And the funny thing is no one is going to read this for quite sometime because I haven't told anyone! :)
