Yes, I know I haven't posted in a while. Truthfully, I have had the time but didn't really know what I wanted to say. I'm pretty sure by now you grow weary of my "OMG outdoors mentality" Can't help it. I'm a bit of a hippie at heart. I love being outside with the sun on my skin wandering by boat or land. I guess its the explorer in me. Anyways, this past week was pretty special, my parents had their 27th wedding anniversary. I know what you are thinking: Dang, they are old. You wouldn't be exactly wrong, but hey at least they still look good. All joking aside, I am so amazed by them and their unyielding commitment to each other. A lot of people can't stay married more than a few months (looking at you Kim Kardashian), but somehow they have managed to stay together. They are vastly different. My dad is like fire ready to go in guns blazing, while my mom is more peaceful like a river. Despite all of their differences, they have never stopped loving and sacrificing for each other. They are a huge inspiration to me and what I consider my model for marriage. Thanks mom and dad for your example and unyielding love for one another and us. I love you.
In other news,this past weekend was awesome. First, it was a long weekend (yay, no work). Second, I got to spend a vast majority of the weekend you guesses it outside. Saturday I got to spend some time with my family out at my aunt's lake house. Other than just general relaxing, my aunt and I went kayaking around the lake together. It was pretty great, especially since I don't get to see her as much. Sunday, Rory and I went and played in the creek together near our house. He loves the water, but only if his feet can still touch the ground. We will need to work on that. Monday(memorial day) was quite possibly the best day ever!
Rory and I woke up early (we are pretty much up early everyday) and went for a hike together on Rainbow mountain. It was really nice since it was just us exploring the trails. Plus we got to watch the sunrise over the Valley. The only negative was that since no one else had been there yet, I literally walked into every spider web on the trail....they are like ninjas. Later that day, I got to go kayaking with Donnie. We had to share a tandem kayak but it was really fun and relaxing. And we got free shirts! Overall, everything has been pretty great. After college, I'm finally getting to do the things I enjoy doing without being stressed out. I think that's the greatest thing about the real world, finding out what you are passionate about. For me, it will always be the outdoors. So get outside and enjoy the little things.
P.S. If anyone would like to donate to the "Chelsea needs a kayak fund," please let me know. I accept checks, cash, and money orders. Peace.
