The Perfect Weekend

Hiking.

Good music

The perfect weekend.

Long time, no see! Except I have never seen you before so it is more just like long time...and this is true.

I have a few stories to tell you since you have been out of my life for a little while. Get ready because these are some mind boggling stories.

Story 1-

Well Fall Break was this past weekend and usually I am part of the family that doesn't go anywhere, ever. Lucky for me we decided to go visit the University of Tennessee at Knoxville because my older bro goes there! While we were there, or rather while we were planning our college visit we thought what better way to spend the break than going hiking in the Great Smokey Mountains. I know what you all are thinking, "She can't be serious, the Smokey Mountains? But how could they do that, that sounds like...like..." Yes, I know, it does sounds like lots of fun and let me tell you, it was all sorts of fun! I had both of my brothers in the car picking on me like always, I had my parents making all kinds of not funny jokes and puns. Who doesn't love a good pun? You're weird if you don't. I love them. And I also had a 4 hour car ride. Let's make a list of my favorite things shall we...

My Favorite Things:

1. My family

2. Car rides

3. Great music (see story 2)

4. Hiking

We got to the mountains and hiked and hiked and hiked and hiked our little butts off. It was amazing!

Story 2-

Now stay with me, it is going to get a little complicated. We have to backtrack to before the hiking trip. I should make this Story 1 I guess, but I already typed it so I won't. (BACK IN TIME, THE DAY BEFORE THE HIKING TRIP) I have this friend, Michelle, she can sometimes be cool, I mean it just depends on how you look at it I guess...and well Michelle is just too nice and when she heard that I was having some trouble finding some good music she kindly offered me access to her music collection. So, naturally, I remained unbelievable calm (psshh...yeah right) and I mosied my way over to her house to get some new music! We all know how great music can set the mood just right and make you feel like there is no one else around you. When that perfect song comes on and it just really gets you inside, maybe you tear up a little bit...I don't but I know someone does. Alright, I won't lie, I have teared up once or twice.I have to admit I was a little sad when I left her house with only 3 new cd's. Just kidding. I was stoked!I had all new music for my trip to the Smokeys! Let's make another list! Of my favorites from the cd's

My Favorites From the CD's

1. Beyonce

2. Iron and Wine

3. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

4. Britney Spears- old school

5. The Weepies

6. Others that I don't really know who sings them

So, in conclusion. The weekend consisted of being with my family, hiking- a lot, listening to great music, and riding in the car :) The perfect way to spend a long break away from school.
