The Realization Summer

I am ready to live on my own. I am a grown women after this summer. I am ready to spread my wings.

The events that happened this summer were like no other summer. There were many memories. I guess I would have to say that I am ready to be on my own. I was barley even at home, I spent most days with my boyfriend. Even thou I did not spend a lot of time with friends, or family I still had a amazing time. It really makes me realize that, I am ready to live on my own. From camping to going to Vancouver, Im not sure where to start.

Well I guess I will start with my camping adventures. Myself and boyfriend Dallas we went camping with our friends John, Connor, Steph, Mike, Taylor. We went up Carmi on July 1^st for Canada day. What a time that was. From Mike cutting his hand and not realizing it. To Steph and I almost getting attacked by a dog. We were up there for one night but it was a great time. By night so many people came up to visit. When we got there these older guys came and introduced themselves. They were so funny. They took John and Taylor on there golf cart for a ride and when they got back they said they were doing jumps and such with it. Now that would have been a time and a half.  

The next camping trip was sometime in August. We all went up to West Kelowna to a place called Bear Creek Park. That was a pretty good time too. We had the trail park officer come and give us trouble, but  really he just thought he was something special like Wallmart security. We hiked up a mountain and we could see everything. We had a crazy fire going on too, pretty much like a bond fire. But all in all it was a good time.

3-4 days I spent at home, I was going down the channel and going boating. The channel was a fun time. Got bit and attacked by some ducks. That feeling is like an adrenaline rush all at once. I went down with my friends and we had to be at the end for a certain time. Well by the time we got half way we had to swim almost the whole other half. Now that was tiring.  Boating was good, we did some tubbing. Tubbing is intense, the feeling of holding on with your life and not wanting to fall off into the cold water. Or when you jump into the water to get to the tub, that tense feeling your body does with the cold water.

In July my Uncle Michael came. He was living in Australia for 2 years. When he came and visited we had a mini Christmas. Christmas in July hey! I didn’t get to see him much since he was here for his 20^th grad reunion.

One day in August my boyfriend Dallas and I were at his cousin’s John’s house, and his friend’s car blew up right after he got out. That was crazy, the whole car was in flames. That is going to be an expensive fix right there. But good thing he was out of the car before it blew up. That was an eventful day.

My boyfriend Dallas and his family were getting family picture done. His mom wanted me to be in the pictures too! I was so happy. It felt like I was apart of the family. It was a really good time. The family pictures turned out so well. Everyone was so happy.

To end off the summer I went to Vancouver with Dallas to visit his dad and step mom. It was such a nice drive down there. And the weather was so nice for the long weekend. We made Indian Candy. It was a pretty big process. After the 3 days it took to make it, it was pretty delicious. I got to go shopping that was lots of fun. It is to bad we don’t have malls like the ones in Vancouver. It is relly nice when you feel like a big family.

All in all the summer of 2011 was amazing from frezing cold water, to being ready to move out, and feeling like a family. It made me realize that I am ready to move out. It makes me realize the Dallas is with me till the end. And that I am ready to spread my wings and become and grown person.
