Red River Gorge...

Friday night I went to Lexington KY to go to a Black and White ball...ball?...hmmm...thats debatable. I would call it more of a black and white dressy type ish dance. It was branch size attended. Mormons...gotta love them, but we/they/us...whatever. Not really anyone can dance very well. A few people can dance a little bit in one kind of dance. It consisted of a lot of line dancing, lots of circles where one person does something stupid while everyone claps like it was really awesome....or two lines facing each other while people AGAIN retardly strut their stuff down the way. Oh well...we laughed, we look lots of pictures and hey , even if we cant dance, at least conversation was fun and friendly. Social skills aren't really at an all time high either. Can't even explain that, but over all....the dance was fun. Then Me and holly went back to her friends house. She has an old BYU roomie that lives in Lexington now. We stayed the night with her. When we got to her house I was totally fascinated. She has a spinning wheel. She let me peddal it for a little bit. I don't really know if thats even the right way to say it, but yeah, she spun a little bit of wool into yarn for us. AWESOME> who does that?! We talked and petted her cat then it was time for much needed sleep. I'm somewhat of a couch surfer and I must say....her couch was comfy even if it was short....THANK YOU MELISSA :)

So the next morning we got up and went on our way. It was about an hour drive to Red River Gorge. I'm glad we made a day trip out of it. It was so worth it. I have been missing doing cool things and seeing nature. This time last year it was Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Zions National Park, and Sunsets and Sunrises in all kinds of places. This year my trip to Red River Gorge was much needed. Beautiful country. It wouldve been amazing to be there to see the leaves changing colors though too....maybe we'll go back, its hard to say. Holly kinda thought out loud as we were at one look out point. I wonder how they decide what color to be. I about died laughing. She made the trees seems so human and like they were going to change to a different color each day depending on how they felt. OK so maybe she made the trees sound so much like a female :) haha. We stopped at one point to go walk out on this one bridge. I don't know why I torture myself with the whole bridge and heights thing. They always freak me out but i love it! We got lots of fun pictures (self photos) and posed for many many fake senior pics. Then we went for a little hike to see this sky bridge rock thing. yeah i dont know techincal terms. The Sky Bridge hike was fun though. It was only suppossed to be 1 mile,but i think we somehow hiked more than that. OH MY GOODNESSS...it was such a humid day. It always is out here though. And I'm not a girl that *glistens* I sweat massive drops in massive amounts. Wowzers. I can't handle that it looks like I dump water on my head. I can't help it though. Its how I am. A friend told me, well, at least you know you are alive. Shoot. I was REALLY alive that day. So went I get around to posting pictures....i'm sorry that I look wasted and washed in a waterfall... there wasnt any natural water sources that I partook of...only the stuff seeping from my pores. Okay, its late, I gotta wrap this up. I have work tomorrow....it is of course LABOR day. SOOO we finally finished our hike and made our way back through cincinnati. It was a fun drive even though I was so super tired and hot. I cooled of after awhile and then we stopped and met up with a cincy friend and played some frisbee golf and he bought us dinner ( aww thanks some people are too kind ) soo yeah, i've never played that. I decided I need help on my frisbee skills. Then by the time I got home it was time to pop in a movie and rest from my exhausting day. I watched Penelope. Good flick. I recommend it highly to anyone.

then sunday...church / vt'ing / and....fireworks in cincy with melody and friends...(more on that later)

all in all....great weekend....thanks to everyone who made it possible
