The last 10 days..

In the last 10 days, I have weathered multiple out-of-the-ordinary events:

• Two Fridays ago, Mikayla fell at the pool, split just under her chin, and had to get stitches. She is fine now, but I pretty much went into shock mode when it happened. I think she may have even been proud of her battle wound and wanted to show it off to everyone who cared.
  



• Last Sunday, the fam went camping for one night (as much camping as I can handle!) with my parents and niece and nephew. I like the campfires, the lakes, the hot chocolate and marshmallows, and especially the hiking, but I absolutely need my own bed (or even A bed) at night.

• Friday, I, along with lots of others, helped my adorable, awesome friend Bre celebrate her 22nd birthday. I had an excellent time chatting and staying up late with Heather, Chante, Melissa, Megan, and Bre (and all the guys too, but they drifted in and out of our convos...)!


• Saturday, I went on my first rafting trip on Clear Creek in Idaho Springs for one of my neighbors' birthdays. I must admit, I almost made a beeline for the car after hearing the potential mishaps and how to survive them, but I ended up having a great time and perhaps could have even handled a rougher ride..!

Tuesday morning we are boarding a plane for our long-awaited California escapade, and I am positive I will have many exciting things to blog about when I get back!
