So, this will be short and sweet until I once again receive the motivation to write this blog. The school year is about to start and I just feel blah. It's my senior year. I should be totally excited...maybe a little nervous and scared but excitement should be my main emotion. There are so many blessings that I have received so far. And I totally haven't forgotten about them. I didn't have to pay a dime this year for school and even had book money. I get to live with my awesome roommate again and our dorm is right beside the gym so that's cool. I got the classes I wanted, the times I wanted them, and the teachers I wanted. I have a job on campus and no Friday classes. I'm just blah.

Hailstorms and Beach time
So, I've been meaning to write a blog for a while. Here goes.
The youth was supposed to go tubing on the French Broad River last Saturday. We got up there and the guy told us that we would have to get 3 four-person rafts because it would be too hard to tube down the river. So we agreed. Then, he told us that we had to get 1 four-person raft and 4 two-person duckies (inflatable kayaks). It started off great! We were going down the river, it was relaxing, and it seemed that everyone was having a good time. We would stop to swim or just hang out. Then, we started switching rafts around. Savanna, Bobbie Jo, and I got in the four-person raft and started back down the river. It started thundering and lightning pretty bad and I started to get freaked out. They didn't tell us what to do in case of "weather." Right when we pulled off to the side of the river to get out of the boat, it started pouring. We walk up a little path and stand under some trees. That probably wasn't the best idea but it was all we had. The rest of the group was further up the river. All of a sudden, it started hailing! Penny-sized. It was hilarious. They hurt but we were thirsty so we cupped our hands and started catching the hail and eating it. Nathan and Jon Michael got into some kind of plant that gave them a rash or something and it was really weird. Eli, Bryan, and I ate a burnt cheese pizza from K-mart for dinner and sat outside on some clearance patio furniture. We made it home safely and everyone seemed to have a good time, despite the lightning and hail and weird plant attack.
Now, I'm at the beach with the folks. We came down Sunday and are supposed to be leaving Saturday. I have an awesome bed that has a great view of the ocean. This morning, I layed in bed and watched the sunrise. It was so incredible. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get to hang out with Jenny and Millie since it's their day off and then tomorrow night we're going to see the Good Vibrations show that has 60's, 70's, and 80's music. That should be cool. Today, we went parasailing and I got to go twice because Dad needed someone to ride with and these 3 little kids from West Virginia were riding together and Mom didn't want to go again. We saw lots and lots of jellyfish but nothing else. Thursday, we're supposed to get up early and go out on the JetSkis to see dolphins. Tonight, I'll probably hang out with my friend, Sarah that lives down here.
I love the beach. I could totally live here. But I do miss people from home. They should be here, too.
Love You.
