I went back home for the Memorial Day Party at the Hart's house. That was so much fun. I love going over there. But from the beginning. First, I made a last minute decision to go. So I packed my stuff, and left around 22:30-23:00. I got to Jacksonville at about a quarter to 3 in the morning, parked in the cul de sac on the Webb's street, and slept in the back of the jeep (to save miles on the Mustang, I drove my dad's Jeep). I didn't sleep real well for two reasons. One was the space was kind of cramped, and not entirely comfortable. The second reason was that it felt like Christmas Eve. I kept waking up hoping it was morning so that I could get out of the uncomfortable sleeping position, and also so that I could see people. I kept waking up thinking 'Are people going to be up yet?' I was so excited when I finally got to see them. Jenny called me around noon I think, and I was curious if she knew I was in town or not, but she was calling to see how I was doing out in Marianna, and I told her "I hated it, so I came back home..." {pause}"but only for a day." Thanks for calling Jenny, and everyone else that calls, or thinks of calling, or talks to me online for that matter. Thank you guys for all your prayers and thoughts. Thank you.
We went to the Hart's house around 14:00, I got off to a crazy start, running around doing all sorts of flips and stuff. I nearly pulled off a backflip with a full twist which really surprised me, and possibly almost injured my, but I was just fine. I think all the jumping around irritated my ankle, but it was worth it. Then I went and sat back by the pool, just putting my legs in. We just hung out there a while. And then lunch... or dinner by that time, I guess... was served. Whatever beans I kept eating were really good and I also had a Turkey burger. Oh, by the way, I don't remember if I said it, and if I did, I'm sure I didn't say it enough, but thank you everyone for helping me out, and offering me food all the time. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm sorry for all the times I seem unappreciative.
While we were eating, it started to rain. It was crazy, two seconds outside and you were soaked. And it was just this instantaneous downpour. So Jonathan had run out to the treehouse before it had started raining, because we had the bright idea that we would go out there to eat. I didn't go, but he did, and then it started raining. The wind was blowing the rain so hard, and there was so much water falling that it looked like waves blowing over the vehicles out front, it was really a sight. After a few minutes, a couple of us decided it would be cool to run out to hang out with Jon, so we did, and got soaked. We stood in the treehouse for a few minutes before we thought it would be fun to get boogie boards and slide around in the water that was flooding the back yard. So Jon ran down and got the boogie boards. Austin and I joined him, and then most of the kids joined in. We all just ignored the rain and played. Jenny and Josiah started taking pictures, which I hope to get copies of. We all started getting really muddy. It was the dirtiest I ever remember being. I don't think I've ever played in the rain like that in my life. Then, after the rain stopped we played in the water before it quickly soaked into the ground, and then Austin, Jonathan, Kristin, Erika, and I had a brief mud fight. We hosed off and jumped in the pool. I think Hunter left while we were playing in the rain, but I don't know, cause he just disappeared, and I didn't get to say goodbye. "Goodbye Hunter."
Josiah had to leave, and soon after, we all got out of the pool. We started playing card games inside, and we played card games until people started leaving. When Kristin and I were hugging 'goodbye,' my ear ended up against her cheek and I could hear her chewing animal crackers and it was a really cool sound. Well, I drove Jenny home, and then I went to see Lui to fill out a form so I could go to Getaway, which I need to leave for soon, so quick ending here. I went back to the Webb's and slept on the couch I used to sleep on. And then we had breakfast in the morning, and I headed back here to the Black Hole of Florida. I missed all of you that I didn't get to see. I'm already missing all of you that I did see. Thank you for the wonderful time.
I think I'm gonna plan a birthday party at swing dancing Friday, June 17th. I'll be back in town, and I may even be able to get my 'blood-related' family to come, but I can't promise anything. Okay, well I'll work on that in a few days when I get back from Getaway. But I need to leave now.
So thank you all so much for such wonderful memories.
With great love and big hugs
