I just had the perfect day. I came home from college for the weekend to give away a VERY "prestigious" award. I was crowned Almond Queen of my town last year, and so, for the sake of tradition I had to give away my crown to the newly awarded Queen as well as give a speech. Being back in the town hall surrounded by people that I grew up with, that have known me since I wore dippers, (or sometimes ran around naked) made me feel proud, as well as conscious of the fact that I am so happy that I moved away. It is not that I don't love the small rural town that I live in, it just takes something like moving away to make me realize how much it means to me. Anyways, that night was full of fun laughter and awkward moments, one of the best parts was that my best friend, and my close friend got the crown, and first runner up. It made me so proud to see people I have grown up with perform so well on a speech in front of everyone they love.
The next morning the fun part arrived. I am so used to being able to sleep until at least ten every day in college. But not this morning. My brothers and sister woke me up with a GREAT song they created called "you're not the queen anymore." It was the most annoyingly awesome way to wake up after being away from them for so long. It's my bothers 27 birthday tomorrow and so, I decided to give him the gift of dressing up in lots and lots of layers and being his human paintballing target. I now have many welts on my back, but it was totally worth it to see my bothers looks of joy as they pressed the trigger and let loose as I ran like a chicken with my head cut off across our lawn. For the sake of old birthdays, my dad decided to make all of the "kids" meaning the youngest being me... a scavenger hunt. Let me just tell you, whoever you are, that I am REALLY good at scavenger hunts... I lagged behind at the end to give all the "big kids" a chance to find some clues. I was on fire.
This whole day was just perfect. It made me miss being a little kid again. Just hanging out with my brothers and sisters. Its hard to top the good ol' days. But I think this weekend did.
Back to reality, got to do some homework.
I hope who ever you are who reads these AWESOME posts of mine can ALL have a wonderfully perfect day like this in the future, all that bring you back to your childhood, and make you excited about the future.
