Summer 2012

               I did a lot of pretty cool things over summer break! I had a lot of fun, took a lot of risks, got into a little trouble, but I enjoyed every minute of it! One thing I really enjoyed this summer was when we threw Dennis a birthday party. Dennis is like a father to me, not only a father figure, but also a best friend. He does more for me than my actual parents, and I know I can go to him about almost anything. I met Dennis late last year, through my boyfriend, who is his son. Anyhow, this year Dennis turned 36 so Taylor and I threw a birthday party to celebrate. For the most part, the party was a success and a lot of fun for everyone. There was a ton of food, drinks, and many great friends and family.  My parents, along with my brother even made an appearance. My brother also had a friend tag along with him who was visiting from Australia for two weeks! His name was Shane and he was such a cool person! I learned a lot from him and we showed him a lot of American customs as well! With all of us being the great friends that we were, we all wrestled around, throwing each other into the pool. Unfortunately, I was one of the unlucky ones who got forcefully thrown in.We all enjoyed ourselves, listened to music, ate great food, sat by the fire and just had endless fun! Later that night, the adults went out, though I'm sure they had fun then too. Taylor and I stayed home, cleaned up, watched movies, and just relaxed until everyone got home. Eventually, everyone did come home, so we then went night swimming. By the time we were ready for bed, I was beyond exhausted! It was a great end to a great day! Besides, you can't help but love spending time with you people that mean most to you. <3
