where do i even begin the day that was part two to spring fever?
wake up!!! shower.shower.shower. wait around for hunger to kick in. a few more showers. finally we are out the door. just me and the guys. taking a nice little walk to Paul Bunions a place that supposedly has killer food. I'm spinning lights all the way there. multiple camera shots, laughs, giggles, and we finally arrive. Before we even step inside we see what happens to be a lumber jack version of what i think Goliath would be he is a huge huge statue. So of course our littlest guy friend has to pretend to be David and sock him one in the nuts. kudos to you my good sir :) . we get inside to be welcomed by a gift shop. if ya ask me a gift shop right in the entrance of any restaurant is just tacky... i take one quick look at the menu and already my mind is yelling full force don't you dare eat ribs at this time of day... so while the guys decide if their tummy's can handle ribs and what not i play with the large wind chimes as obnoxiously as i can. no one can handle the menu and we bounce out of that place. best part is we end up walking all the way back from where we started to go the the Denny's we originally said we should have gone to... we all order breakfast foods. and i swear we had the nicest waitress ever. she gave me a whole free cup of juice when i asked to sample the crazy new beverages at no extra cost to me but a smile :).
we arrive back at the hotel. tons and tons of roaming the hallways gets done. tons of sitting in the room waiting patiently for the night to hit gets done. tons of talking, laughing, bickering, smiling, and finally some damn swimming is all accomplished. slowly but surely the rest of our crew makes it out to us. yet the night is still not here. more hanging out only the way we know how is done. and its time. we all look at each other giggles and anticipation rising we say our cheers to one another. and the night begins...
I am not sure how anyone else spent their night. I am not sure if anyone had as good a time as I did. What I do know is that i did more things in that one night than I probably had in the last 5 months weekends put together. I can't recall the night in its entirety, what I do remember however was
~ Spinning lights outside in a parking lot, on the way to another hotel, on a ledge, on 2 stages, in the main room, in the hallways, in the pool, in the hot tub, in our room, in a strangers room, on a strangers bed, and in the main lobby.
~ Swimming!! Lots and Lots of Swimming! Fully dressed! Wearing a tutu under water, and feeling like a mermaid... Jumping into the Deep end of the pool not knowing how to swim finally getting over my fear of deep water! (Mind you I was successfully able to recruit every person in the pool and the hot tub to stand around the pool with me and all of jump in at the same time to help me get over my fear and check something off my bucket list. I am so thankful to everyone who jumped with me.)Dancing with my friends and new people and my boyfriend under water was liberating!!!
~Playing Call Of DUTY MODERN WARFARE 2 while jumping on a bed soaking wet with a group of girls I had never met all while laughing!!!
~Seeing Silkworms in a blossoming tree spinning silk, doing an elaborate dance under the spring moon. Shared that beautiful moment with the universe and a new best friend of mine.
~Dancing!!!Dancing!!!Dancing!!!and might I add some more DANCING! Tons of liquid dancing was done! I danced my little butt off! I also diced some people to tiny little pieces with my miming routine :). Man, the dancing done that night done by my friends and I was all sorts of amazing and odd and inspirational and entertaining. I love them.
~Hoola Hoops and Jump Ropes! Need I say more???
~Random hopeless adventure to find my missing TUTU at 6 in the morning... Hooray It was returned to me the following day but that is a whole other story!
~But what I remember most about that evening was a sense of unity. No matter where we were in the hotel no matter how many times we lost and found each other no matter anything there was a sense of unity. It was more than crystal clear that we were all friends that we were all always looking out for one another and were all concerned with the happiness of the people we call friends. It was a beautiful party but more importantly it was an amazing vacation that helped us just enjoy the time we do have with each other. I love them.
Part 3 will be posted soon... til then... "this is the story of a girl"
