adventures lately

this summer has treated me too well. and its so gr8 that its not over yet...
cause august 31 brings bad news bears... a bitter sweet day that my best friend departs to serve the Lord for 2 entire years. yikes.. so proud of that boy! but so scared for my lonliness to come for those 2 years. (oooookay, this post got a bit sidetracked)
anyway, i kicked off the summer with a trip to the one and only lake powell.
its so the best. i cant ever get enufff of that place.

i only was able to snap pictures from my phone the whole trip. t'was too busy having fun in the sun. the first day was a big windy city so we stayed in a ghetto hotel, paid a pretty penny, and ate at a good diner, took a hike, watched the sunset on a diner's PORCH. (whaaaa!) then slept and then bright and early (my mother's request) we were on the beloved lake. i'm definitely a water baby but this trip the water was FRIGID. so instead of bathing in the lake, i chickened out and took a bathe only once. ick.

for real, this trip was one of the best yet. i love the family we go with too too much.
then a bit later on, me and the best friend and danny went to vegas and zionzzz national park.
zionzzz was my fave for sure. we hiked angels landing. and even though i complained the entire time,

it was so worth the view. and we learned something new, you know how when you hike down hill, and it ALWAYS SUCKS cause your forced to basically run down the whole dang time, well if you skip, it makes it easier and fun. but D and A made fun of how i skip. apparently i don't swing my arms.

genetically i have big biceps muscles, so if your thinking, wow her biceps are large, yea i know, thanks to my grandma. i got made fun of this entire trip as well. but dont worry i used them in my favor, for punching out of course.

vegas was a bust to me. the only thing i enjoyed was h&m but i was even disappointed there. i definitely didnt like spending 8 dollars on a baby subway sandwich or feeling dirty because of all the dirty people around me, or being told to leave a casino cause i'm one month (nearly) from being 21. well sir, good thing i was only sitting and not gambling huh.
speaking of 21. thats a gr8 birthday for me cause i'm planning on an adventure that's going to change my life. and i cant wait.
welp, i think this post has got some ADD. but i like it. its been awhile. and i like being back, but dont expect great things in the future because im becoming to hate blogs. just like i did facebook..
