Falling without a parachute

    Ok so sometimes I can be.. kinda shy. I also know that can come off as me looking shallow, and uncaring, but I'm not either of those things (at least I don't see myself that way). For me being apart of a group is hard at times because sometimes I just feel like I'm trying to push myself into somewhere where I'm not wanted, or where I don't really belong.  I guess I'm quiet so that I don't draw attention to myself, and end up hurt. I've had some really bad experiences with trust, (more than one easy) and they all were the same. I met someone we clicked and things went good for awhile, I opened up, and started to trust, then out of the blue their just gone. I fell and there was no parachute you could say. Each time is definitely a little harder than the last, and like anyone would I think "why should I put myself back out there to try again when it could happen all over?".
    The reason is that I have made good friends as well, (really good friends, at least I hope thats how they feel) so I do still see that benefits from testing the waters. Besides in life theres gonna be good times and bad times. So thats a part of the reason that I'm shy. Not that I think I'm better, not that I don't wanna be your friend, and not that I'm anti-social, but because I just don't want to end up falling again without a parachute to save me.

Sunburn!

Ok so my first trip of the summer didn't end well at all. However, It started out great, the first day we just relaxed and took the paddle boat out and stay'ed in the cove area. The second day however we took the paddle boat out again (earlier like 10am since my friend just had to go out early) this time we paddled out of the cove and went to two different islands, then all the way to the marina to swim (over 4miles) the whole trip took a little over 3 hours, and it was around 1pm when we decided to head back. Once we got back we noticed we were a little burnt, we decided it was because we forgot to put on sunscreen. Once we got back to the cabin we both noticed we had red tan lines, and were very burnt. Due to my friend not being able to stand it, we packed up and went home late the night instead of the next day.
Now I'm sore, ITCHY, hot, and burnt. I can't sleep because of the constant itchiness, parts of me are red as a lobster, and I'm constantly burning up. Plus did I mention that I'm ITCHING LIKE CRAZY?!?!?
So what have I learned and what is my advice to you? Always wear sunscreen, even if your the only person who wants it, you use it that way you won't have to go through this agony.

Congratulations on Graduation class of 2012!!

    Last night I had the privilege to get to go to the Christian Heritage High School 2012 graduation ceremony. I got to watch my cousin Kathleen Watkins. along with all the senior class (including a lot of people I consider to be good friends, but mostly amazing individuals) walk across the stage to get their diplomas. I know all of the CHS graduates are going to do amazing things with their lives.

    I also just want to congratulate all the other Dalton GA, high school graduates: Northwest, Dalton, Coahulla creek, Career Academy, and Southeast, Whichever school, all the 2012 graduates. 

   I can't believe its already been a year since my own graduation (Class of 2011), Time really just flew by, so all I can say is make the most of it.
