Road Trip!

I've been putting off this blog for a long time because there is so much to talk about, and Idon't even know where to start! Im going to start of by saying that this blog is going to be super long and potentially boring. You don't have to read it. I treat my blogs like a journal basically and want to be able to remember every moment of the good times that I have so this mightcomeoff as super wordy and not very entertaining. If you want to know every detail of my life...keep reading. This post is mostly for myself just so I can remember these good times.Ill make sure I post more that will be more entertaining to you and not just myself.So not lastwednesday but the wednesday before I got up at 5 in the morning to take a greyhound bus to Logan to meet up with Erica because I really had no other way to get there unless I wanted to be selfish and have someone drive me 2 hours each way. I would have felt bad to have someone do that so I took the lovely greyhound. I got on and it was a little sketchy tobegin with because there were some interested characters on the bus with me but most everyone was asleep so it wasn't too bad. The bus stopped in Salt Lake and I had to transfer to a smaller shuttle bus but before I did that I had to wait in the Salt Lake bus station for about 2 hours. It was pretty bad. Not the 2 hours, but the bus station. It just didn't have a good feeling about it so I went far from where everyone else in the station was and sat in a corner where I felt safe by myself. 2 hours later I got on the shuttle and there was only one other person there, who was a

friendly Utah State student. It was a much more pleasant ride. So I got to logan and Erica picked me up with the kids that she nannies! She had a class so we went to that. In order for me to get internet I had to have like a username and password (which the computer made for you)

and the password got me and Erica busting out laughing in the middle of class. Lets just say it was a naughty word. We could not stop laughing. It was hilarious! After class we went to the house that she nannies at and had some lunch. Then we went over to her friend Jakes house and watched the kids swim. We chatted for a bit and then it was time to take the kids home. We dropped them off then Erica and I did a bunch of things. We went to Walmart to get snacks for the road and happened to get a free photoshoot on our way out. We took a bunch of super cheesy

pictures and they were put into a collage and we got it for free! Random moment of the day haha. I kinda forgot the order of some of the things we did that day because there was so much. We also played volleyball with some of her friends, got our nails done, went to Cafe Rio (ate way too much), got penny candy, and went back to walmart to get a wedding gift for Molly! Probably one of the most productive days I have ever had. The next morning we woke up super early and were on the road at 4am. We made pretty good time and got to Washington in the early afternoon. Best 13 hour drive I have ever been on. We had so much fun jamming out to Disney music and Justin Bieber among a lot of other good music. We got to her house and she showed me around. Her friends were there

within 10 minutes of us getting there. I got to meet all of her best friends from high school. We

took her brother to soccer practice and stayed at the park and played volleyball and muff. Muff is a game that I think her friends made up. I don't really feel like explaining but it was a lot of fun! After that we went back and changed and went to Applebees for dinner! My first time! I had no idea it was so good! On the way back to Erica's we did a Chinese Fire Drill in the car, and little did we know there was a cop driving right past us. It was pretty funny but nothing happened.

We crashed when we got home. The next day we

went to Ericas high school to see her best friend. I got to see where she went to school and met some more of her friends and teachers. This was Molly's wedding day. We thought it was in Seattle because thats what we were told, so we were expecting like an hour and a half drive. We weren't able to get a hold of our only source of information until like 45 minutes before the reception. Turns out, with the awful washington traffic, that it would take us like 3 1/2 hours to get to the reception (which wasn't in Seattle). Erica needed to be back to go to graduation parties so we ended up not even going to the wedding which was the reason why we even took the trip up there haha. I didn't really mind because that gave me more time to see my family. Instead of going to the wedding, Erica

dropped me off at my cousins house and I got to go to dinner with them and spend the night. I love my family so much and wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. I wish that they lived closer and I got to see them more than I do. They make me feel so comfortable and special all the time. We went to dinner, watched a movie, made a fire, went fathers day shopping, uncle doug made me an amazing breakfast without even hesitating and they just really show how much they love me. I love being around them. Erica picked up Jaymee from Tacoma and me in Puyallup and then we were on the road again! More disney and Justin Bieber. We got to Boise and stayed the night there. On the way to Boise we made a couple stops, some funny, some sketchy. We stopped at a Safeway and Jaymee had never been to a safeway. She didn't even know it was a grocery store! She was in complete shock the whole time we were there, and on top of that she was freaking out because one of her friends was serving a mission close to where we were! We also stopped at a kinda freaky rest stop/bathroom place. I wont get into the details of that. So yeah, we made it to Boise. Got up the next morning, ate breakfast and drove the rest of the trip. We stopped at Ericas apartment in Logan and got cleaned up, the drove to Jaymees house in Ogden. It was fun to see where she lived and to be able to meet her family. Now they need to make a trip down to Arizona and see where I live! haha. Jaymee and her mom were nice enough to offer to drive me to meet up with my parents so I didn't have to take the bus again. We met up with my parents and then went to Fathers Day dinner at Aunt Marthas! This week I was going non stop. The whole family was there minus the Sorensons in Washington, but I saw them the day before so I was lucky enough to see everyone in those two days. I have the best family and no one else's can compete. We had dinner and talked and then spent the night there. Lindsay, Spencer and I woke up early the next morning to get back to Provo because it was the first day of school. Talk about an insane week.

There were several things said on this road trip that couldn't be forgotten so I wrote them down in my phone. No one will appreciate these as much as I do except Erica and Jaymee. Well they might be funny without an explanation too.

Stupid question, but what does the A stand for? -Zoe

(All the cars in logan had an A sticker on them and it really didn't make sense to me because I knew it had to have something to do with Utah State but the A just didn't click...its for Aggies."

Thats like a mile of cows! -Erica

It would be so boring to be a cow. Life would suck! -Zoe

That's appropriate! -Zoe

Zoe. This is my opinion. Hit it and quit it. -Jaymee

(This was a every unexpected comment thanks to Jaymee Shaw)

This is a safeway? Safeway is a grocery store? Ive never been to safeway before. -Jaymee

Im a vegetarian, except for the chicken. -Erica

Erica I hope you appreciate these! Enough for this post.
