RV Trip

So my family and I decided to try something out of the ordinary. Each and every year as a family we take a vacation to the beach for two weeks, but in August we like to go on vacation again, and when we choose vacationing spots we always choose something new. For example, last year we went on a cruise. This year for some odd reason we came up with taking an RV trip, and for my benefit, driving the RV down to Florida! My second home. We also are stopping in Georgia to see Seths parents. Our original plan was to go to Virigina to go to Busch Gardens after our trip to Florida but plans changed and we're staying in Florida an extra night and just stopping in North Carolina on the way home so we can actually get sleep instead of repeating Day 1 all over again! Of course it's not as boring as hoping in an RV, visiting family and shooting down to Florida. That is why I came to type my whole trip out, day by day so in the future I can go back, laugh at these memories and remember everything.

DAY 1:
Our planned time to hop onto the RV and take off was 7:30. My fault, we ran about 45 minutes late because I was busy saying bye to my boyfriend at his house. The first night was a bit rough. Seth had to drive 13 hours straight to Georgia. (Visiting seths family in Georgia.) I thought sleeping on the RV was going to be no problem and once we got onto the high way the bumps would stop; boy were we all wrong! I think Nicole got the most sleep because of her medication. I actually slept okay due to the fact that I had the only bedroom and only bed to myself thanks to mom. She ended up falling asleep in the passangers seat of the RV haha. But, I got to watch Taken and watching a movie put me to sleep quickly.

DAY 2:
I am woken up at nine in the morning due to Cory climbing all over me, the bumps and how noisey the RV was. We arrived at Seths parents shortly after where we went in a had breakfast. I pretty much just enjoyed my day and relaxed by the pool until about four. Seths whole family came over for dinner, I had a "Kristin moment" and a pretty good one too. Hmmm, you'd need to know my family and I to understand but yeah it was pretty bad. It was just a day to relax and get some sleep before the big trip to FLORIDA!!

Live, Laugh, LOVE.

Have you ever fell so hard in love and actually thought you were going to end up with this person and then had it ripped right up from underneath you? It's nearly impossible to forget, and it's impossible to forget your very first true love. It's very hard to get people to understand the situation because love is something that truly is indescribable and unless you've fallen for someone just as hard you will never understand. So, I'm going into my senior year of high school. I've chosen to be one of the members of the class of 2010 to graduate high school early, in January. I don't receive my diploma until everyone else does in June but I don't have to attend classes after January. The reasoning for this is because I want to get a head start on my life, I would like to work January-June full time and make a lot of money so I can be satisfied with the amount so I can be on my own. This all has a point but I'm not really sure how to begin. I had a talk with my mom and stepdad over dinner a few months back."Your at the age where you shouldn't be dating for fun you should start looking for someone to be with, not the exact person but the kind of guy you want," they explained to me, "when your twenty is when you should be looking for someone, and when your twenty five and dating someone you should know that their the one." Since those words came out of their mouths i've thought so hard to myself on what I'm doing with my life. I've gotten as far as I want to move to Florida, live on the beach, and become a great photographer. But, I also think about where I will be, who I will be with. I'm two and a half years away from being twenty, the age my parents told me when I should start looking. Since that is not a very long time away I decided to begin now.

I decided to become very particular when dating someone, because the last thing I want is to end up with the wrong person. People say just because you have someone there that cares about you more then anything that your alright. Well, I can honestly say I am very far from that stage. I'm closer to being happy then I was a few months ago but I could totally be happier. I just wish there was this button where I could push it when I met a boy and it would tell me if I was going to get hurt or it was going to work. Let me tell you something that happened at the beach. One night I wasn't feeling so hot so Danielle and I went onto the beach at night and sat there and talked for at least a good hour about love, God, death, happiness, we pretty much covered everything and she said to me, "nothing lasts forever." I said to her, "hows that? Marriage can last forever" and she said, "someone always dies before the other." She was absolutely correct, nothing lasts forever. Your always going to get hurt, no matter what the situation is. All I'm going to say is the day for me to find the one will come, and I will make sure he's the right one.

Engagement

Before I get into the whole arguement with I want to express my feelings. Feel free to skip this part and go directly to my opinion on engaged couples today. I flip flopped the pictures around, just because. But anyways, before I get off topic. I came to write this blog today because there has been so much on my mind. I hate it when people tell me that time will heal love because it honestly doesn't. I believe that overtime love only gets worse and that person you fell for; it gets harder and harder without them. I had this theory, that after a while I would move onto new and better things. Funny thing is, there is nothing better. People may find me crazy for saying this but its true. Once you fall in love you never want that other out of your life, and once they walk out is the most painful thing a human being has to go through. I'm saying this today because I've had it happen to me, recently, a few months back. I have yet to let go of any memories, I have yet to let go of his voice, I have yet to let go of the love I have for him. I will never fall for someone as hard as I did for him. I still believe in us, and I always will. I'll wait for him.

What exactly does the word "engaged" mean to all of you? Yes, I know I'm a teenager too so I'm not going to come out by saying you young children. It's just so funny the way our generation doesn't take an engagement seriously. Just because you've been dating that person for over half of a year doesn't mean your going to be with them forever. Society today uses the words "I Love You" in ways they shouldn't and nobody actually takes time to realize the true meaning. I will say so myself that I was once in love. Who cares, if "i'm only seventeen." Age doesn't matter; once you find that person you find them. Love is an incredible thing and it's something that I will always cherish. But what bugs me the most is how people believe getting engaged at such a young age truly means forever. Nobody knows the feelings you have for your significant other. In my opinion, in order to be engaged and certain of marriage couples should be together for a few years, and at an older age. I look at it as, if your going to be engaged and get married then why get engaged now? Why not just wait and get engaged when your older, when the time is right. Why now? In high school. Love is a feeling, and you can't control it. Nobody can tell you who to love and nobody can tell you who you can't love. You just can't help the feeling. There's no true description I can give to you who have not yet felt love because it's undescribable, it really is and you will know exactly what I mean when that time comes for you.

Spring

It's nice to finally say spring is right around the corner. I can't wait to wake up in only my underwear and a tank top with my fan blowing and the birds singing outside. I can't wait to step outside and smell the spring air and watch the flowers bloom. The sent of a summer vacation will soon hit. March 28 is my birthday and i'll be turning seventeen. I am really excited to go to New York with Johnny and Danielle! Explore the city of New York and have an immense amount of fun.

Tomorrow I am getting an endoscopy to finally solve these stomach troubles that I have been dealing with for months now. I know this is just a minor procedure but I am absolutely petrified of the needles part. I am already stressing out about it, and I know when the time comes I am going to freak out. I don't know what it is, but me and needles loathe each other and the fear I have of them grow and grow each day. Wish me luck!
