Post-Game Recap

As you may have noticed if you read my posts regularly, I did not post Monday or Tuesday. Agh! I have been thinking for the past month that I may have to cut back on my posting come school time, but I thought it would be more of a choice than a necessity. Silly me. Well, I'm less than a week out and already feel like I have places to be and things to do, so on and so forth.

I really can't believe there are only 4 days left until classes start. I feel like this has been the longest summer in the world though so it's not that my break is ending too soon, but it has just gone on so long that it is a little unreal all that I have done and that it's coming to an end.

Recap on my summer of traveling:

Celebrated my 21^st birthday in Ohio with my dad.

Revamped my bedroom and livingroom.

Drove down to Texarkana, TX to live with me mum for a few months.

Visited Miami, FL.

Visited Ozark National Forest and the Cossatot.

Went to Dallas for a Rangers v. Tigers game.

Roadtripped through OK, KS, NB, SD, WY, CO, UT, AZ, NM, hitting up Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Devils Tower, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain, Zion, and Grand Canyon national parks.

Roadtripped through LA, MS, AL, GA, NC, TN, WV, stopping in Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Baseball and Women

First of all, I'm giving a shout out to my best friend, Evan, for his twenty second birthday! Check out his blog about spending time in Akron, Ohio this summer. I'm really sorry I missed this birthday, but I'm sure we can find time to celebrate it in true twenty-year-old style when I return.

I know I let y'all down by not posting yesterday, but I promise I will post Sunday to make up for it. The truth is, I spent the whole of yesterday on my way to Dallas to go see a Texas Rangers game. They played the Detroit Tigers and won 13 to 9. The best part to me though was having my new camera to capture all the merriment so I could share it!

I really love three subjects (that I can think of) in photography: people who are normally ignored in society, interactions between people, and abandoned things.

I really loved her hair and hat

We went on a great night: dollar hotdog night! However, we didn't sit in the all-you-can-eat section as one of my new friends suggested we should.
