Slumber Parties, Operation Watershed and Long-Distance
This weekend was a good weekend. Friday my mom and I went down to my grandma’s farm and we celebrated her 81st birthday with all the other women of the family with a slumber party. We played this game called “Imaginiff” where you try to guess what other people will guess. It’s confusing unless you play it, but it sort of tries to show how well you know each other. My cousin Nic’s girlfriend, the one girl there who hasn’t been in the family since she was born, won. Pretty funny.
The next day the whole family worked on getting the spring hooked up so my grandma would have fresh water all the time. I was on transportation duty so I drove the truck back and forth between places. I got to do this because I could drive a stick shift in a truck that had 4-wheel drive. Pretty fun driving through creeks and on sideways hills, but sort of scary too. We called it Operation Watershed and got T-shirts for it. Have I mentioned my family is the most organized extended family in the world?
Sunday, I took Brendan back to Louisville and stopped by to see Kyle. We went to his church, and it was a good experience. Definitely different for me, but we had some good conversation about it I think. Then we went to Kyle’s roommate’s girlfriend’s birthday party at Lazer Blaze. The first game was a team game and I got 24th out of 25. The second was solo and I got 16th out of 26, so I improved. Kyle got 6th both times, but he wasn’t happy about it the second time. Then we went back to his apartment and I made myself leave at 10. I didn’t want to and I was tired the whole drive home, but I made it. At first, it seemed like it was almost worse to go see Kyle for only a few hours and maybe I shouldn’t have gone, but now I’m glad I did. Long-distance can suck, but it’s worth it when you have the right person.
