Ramblings of a Wandering Luney

Wow, what a week! So much happened I don't know what to say or where to start. The movie Saw is a good movie, but bloody. I definitly cringed a lot. The drive out to Texas was fun. I managed to get take a wrong turn on a highway which we aren't suppose to turn off of. But it was a fun wrong turn cause we got to check out a waterfall, see a wild turkey, and drive on back roads. I was sooo excited when I saw my first cactus in the wild. Although, I did mistake a thistle for a cactus. (Sh...don't tell anyone that I'm admitting I was wrong). James was kind enough to let us stay the night in Longview. I felt bad that I was so tired that I wasn't up for hanging out much other than watching a movie. But it was good to see him and where he lived. Houston is awesome looking the way all the bridges and overpasses cross over eachother. Really cool looking. Staying with Matt's grandparents was really fun, even more fun than I thought it'd be. His grandmother is so funny, I had a blast talking to her while he worked on computers. Getting to hear them bash the south texans all the time was funny too. Her house is right on the lake and it was beautiful. Hanging out in Corpus Christi was great. I havn't been to the beach in a long time. Just wandering along the beach, playing in the sand, and goofing off. San Antonio is beautiful, especially the river walk. I got to see the Alamo. We met up with Amy, Roy, and John in Austin, went to a weird toy store and an awesome coffee shop where we played rook. Good times. The next morning Amy and I attacked the boys with silly string and wrote on what we thought was Roy's car about frolicing lessons. That was a fun way to start off the day. Played putt putt and got real mexican food. The drive to Longview was the roughest part because I was so tired, but we made it in time to see UNC win their game. Heck yea, Duke is out! The drive to Columbia wasn't bad but not as fun as the first drive. Shreveport is pretty with its murals. Columbia was fun, I felt welcomed which was wonderful because it was my first time being away from home on a holiday. Man, was I acting like a dumb blonde most of the time, lol. Parts were hard, especially after talking to my family a couple of times, but I couldn't ask for a better situation to be in to cope with what was going on. I love listening to rain. Getting back has been rough, trying to catch up on all my homework. I'm glad I got to play soccer though. Hmm...I'm gonna end this and get lunch. Maybe i'll post again later.
