The Beginning of the Last

Today's our last day in South Carolina...

This is a vacation I'll never forget. The beautiful weather we never get in Texas, the ocean, the waves, boat rides, fireworks, dolphins, beautiful placess.... There is only one things I won't miss- the little to no cell service.

We fly back tomorrow, eeaarrllyyy morning. Our flight leaves at 7:30 and it takes an hour to drive to the airport in North Carolina from here. That means I have to get up at like, 5!! D: I better get to sleep early tonight. We drive to Savannah, North Carolina, fly from there to Charlotte, Georgia, and fly from there to Dallas. We'll get in about 11. But I'll definitely be coming back soon. (:

Pray for good weather!

Forgiveness or Stupidity?

When someone's hurt you so many times and you take them back everytime, is that stupidity or forgiveness? Hopefully you learn from every experience and you don't do the same things twice, but is it bad to take them back with changes? How do you know if they really changed? What if they broke every promise they ever made? What if they apologized? What if you always find yourself forgiving them every time when you try your hardest not to take them back? What if you knew you were completely over them, but then you talk to them like nothing happened? How do you get over those soft spots that pop up when you talk? How does the ocassional awkwardness end? What if taking them back means making some of the people, that matter to you most, mad? Oh geez. I'm a jumbled mess. Sometimes, I don't know what to do or what to think. But it always helps to put it out into the open and get some thoughts and oppinions on it.

Somewhere Over....

....the bridge, lies some crabbing tongs. Yes, we went crabbing today. I think they were blue crabs. They were kinda pretty. I learned how professional trappers do it, and how we did it. You just have these small wire basket things that you tie bait to. They really like turkey. So we just waited a few mintues and we were already catching crabs. They're smart and stupid at the same time. You have to pull it up fast or they feel the movement and make a run for it. Haha. But at the same time, if you let the crab go, they're stupid enough to get caught again, and again, and again. So, you have to grab them with these tongs. They don't really like that. Haha. They fight back. They hold up their claws and try to pinch the clampy things. It's kinda funny. But I just couldn't grab the little things with them staring at me! So I didn't so that, but I did hold the tongs with the crab in it. It was.... kinda freaky. haha. I got pitchurrresss! :P Anyways, we didn't keep our crabs, so I go to toss it back in the water, but it hangs onto the tongs. I kinda tossed it, so he sorta flew up, and it scared the living daylights outta me. I screamed, threw the crab AND the tongs into the ocean, and ran away. It was extremely hilarious, but we were borrowing the equipment from a family friend. I felt reallyyy bad. But those things are cheap, so we bought them some more.

Overall, it was a fun experience. We let some of them go on the bridge and watched them run around till they got to the edge and fell off. I learned the difference between a male and female crab. That was cool. We spent time together as a family. And, I got further along with my tan! :D I'm really loving this vacation. I hope to come back soon. Maybe when I can drive. That'd bring along so many more adventures. My Aunt and Uncle from Florida are driving up tomorrow, and they're bringing my two 2nd cousins, Grant and Jenna. Grant's 4, Jenna's 2, they have another one, Jacob, a few months, and I've never seen them before. I saw Jacob a few months ago, but I've never seen the others in person. I'm excited. They're staying till Friday around dinner. It's not very long, but time is time. Sooo, yeah. Vacations are awesome! (:

*Dreaming*

*sigh* I just love dreaming. Not like, sleep dreaming, but hoping, I guess. Goals you'd like to reach. Thinking of fun and exotic things to do with your life that you may never get to do. Half the fun is thinking it up!

I have SO many dreams and silly famtasies for my life, and I'm so passionate about all of them. And they're not TOO extreme. It's possible I might even get them. But I first had to have to courage to dream them.

Destination: South Carolina

Soo, last Friday, me, my mom , my sis got on a plane and headed out to South Carolina. Since then, it's been pretty much amazing. I'm seriously going to move here someday. It's so beautiful! their summers are 80 degrees and such. Now, coming from Texas, that's pretty freaking GORGEOUS. The beaches.... I love it! The waves are so much fun! I'm super determined to learn how to surf. Some of those people out there are pretty good. Maybe they can teach me? (; Our first day here, we went to the beach. The second day, July 4th, we went out on my Aunt and Uncle's boat. Did I mention that's why we came here? Yaaa, well I just did. Haha. So, we went out and watched several shows of fireworks, and with it reflecting off the water, that was a sight to see! We couldn't have asked for a better night. There were NO bugs, ya, NO BUGS, a slight breeze, beautiful fireworks.... ahhh! And we slept there! Drifting off to sleep while gently being rocked by the smooth, flowing waves.... <3>
