EPIC day of EPICNESS!

Ok, so today was actually a funfilled day. All the way from about noon up until about .. an hour and a half ago.

Starting with the beginning.

I took my sis to the plasma donation center so she could make some money to pay for her car to get fixed. Then we went home because I had my nephew, Skyler, in my car still and I wanted to go hang with some friends. So I took Skyler home, made my sister some lunch, and then I left around 12 ish to go to the mall to meet Chase and Hazel. I met up with Chase about 12:30 and Hazel finally showed up about 1 ish. Then we talked for like, seriously, an hour and a half about what we wanted to do, specifically, what to eat. We piled into my car and traveled to Dillon's where Hazel wanted chicken but we didn't get chicken! took us a while to figure out that we were going to have chinese food. So we went to a buffet style place (my favorite place, a.k.a. the Golden Wok) and we ate. Then our friend Sarah showed up, after we were done eating btw, and we watched her eat. Then it took us quite a while to figure out what our next plan was.

We finally settled on swimming.

So, after changing into swimming clothes, I picked up Chase, and Hazel picked up Sarah, and we met at Hazel's house (out in the middle of no where) to swim at the creek out there. We trudged through water, rocks, gravel, mud, bugs (and apparently leeches) for quite a ways before we FINALLY got to the decent swimming area where we proceeded to jump in. To me, it was about.. armpit deep and I'm about 5' 7" ... Well, Chase jumped in and what did he discover? IT WAS COLD!!! Bloody freezing. I tried to walk in to get used to the water but ended up to my knees in mud. I got stuck and my shoes weren't coming free. Hazel walked over and reached in to the hole where my leg was stuck and we managed to get my leg free before we could get my shoe free. Got my shoes free and then decided to just jump in. IT WAS COLD!!! Like freezing. I injured my hand when I got in and the water was so cold, that I just stuck my hand in the water to make it feel better. The water was THAT cold. It feels better now too. So that's good. I think it was about 5 ish before we made it to the swimming area. We left about 6 ish and made it back to land about 6:30 - 6:45 ish, and Chase and I made it home around 7. I quickly jumped in the shower and checked for bugs when Chase texts me and says he found a leech on his foot. A LEECH! So I had about 3 showers before I convinced myself I was leech free.

Soon as I hopped out of the shower, what happens?!

BEST STORM OF THE SEASON! That's what! I was watching my nephew and the rain started pounding my house so naturally, I went to go look and our patio umbrella almost blew away, some of the siding on our house (I live in a trailor) came off, theres a big tree right up next to my house, seriously, bastard tree couldnt be any closer, and part of it fell off onto the house and into the neighbor's yard. There's still a branch up on the roof. And there's another big tree in our front yard, there's a branch hanging there too. The whole street went from cement to trees in a matter of minutes! After it stopped raining like hardcore, of course, I went outside to kind of pick things up and grab our things from the street. I had to make sure my house was still together. Besides the siding, it's all in tack. There's a house across the street from me that had about 3 BIG branches fall on their roof. And they were big. Two of the guys went up on the roof and pushed them off. Wise choice. So, half of my neighborhood is covered in leaves, twigs, brances, bigger brances, and whatever was in people's yards. I took a walk up the other side of the neighborhood and NOTHING! It was fine except maybe a few brances and some dude's shed fell over. But my part of the neighborhood had it bad! I'm totally taking pictures tomorrow if the branches are still there by the time I get up. I'm getting ready to head to bed so I should be up in time.

Overall, I loved it. It was FANTASTIC!!!

That was my epic day.

And here comes round 2 of said storms. Better get off.

But I'm leaving ya'll with this:

Awake at this hour?! Yes.

So, I've been bugged for the past few days because I havent posted in a while. Well, Chase, here's your post! At 6 am.

Why at 6 am...? Because I'm awake and nobody else is. I actually went to bed before midnight last night. I think it was about 10.. or so. and I woke up at 5:30. Just... woke up. I had a sandwich and some Mountain Dew and now I'm wide awake.

I dont know what to blog about really... I dont have a job yet, although I'm looking.

OH The time has finally come for my Texas trip. Yeah, the one where I was supposed to go on back in May. I'm leaving tomorrow night to go stay with my step brother and his cousin (who actually is one of my best buds in Highland) that way I dont have to get up at 2 am Wednesday morning to leave my house by 3 because we have to be in Highland by 5:30 am and its a two hour drive. So I'm staying with them Tuesday night because they live 45 minutes away from Highland. I'm pretty excited. It's my first plane ride and I hate heights with a passion. But I'm sure I'll be fine. It's only an hour and 45 minute flight to Dallas... I'm taking a lot of pictures tho!

So, it's raining. Well, thunderstorming. I love the rain. And thunderstorms. I even checked the weather for the days we're traveling to and from Texas hoping that it would be too bad to fly. But it's going to be sunny here and there. Damn. Oh well.

My sister just walked in and asked me: "What the hell are you doing up so early?!" ... And she's up! She's just as bad as me when it comes to what time we wake up lolz.

Well, thats all I really have to talk about. Maybe I'll post later on.

Good day!
