it seems bizarre that in the midst of all this, i went home and actually had a good time. ben is in from australia and it is always good to see him, or any of the family for that matter. we did as many stereotypical things as we could. taught him to shoot a gun. took him to Sams Club and introduced him to jumbo coke icees and gallon tubs of cheese puffs. but we also did some pretty cool stuff, such as ziplining.
now. those of you know know me know i have irrational fears of pretty much everything. ever. in the world. needless to say that heights and falling to my death are on that list. but i was determined to do this. and you know what? i had a blast. you are completely safe (though it doesn't look it) and an absolutely beautiful way to see your surroundings. i mean we "flew" over the gauley river for 750+ feet. and i didn't even freak out when we had to rappel down from the last tree stand. i feel very proud of myself for doing this.
if i can do this, anyone can. and i can't wait to go back.
we then went to the Mystery Hole, number one cheesy roadside attraction extraordinaire. it 'defies the law of gravity' or some such nonsense. it really did mess with your depth perception though, and was worth every one of the six dollars admission price.
so it was overall a good weekend. everyone had been warned ahead of time that i really didnt want to talk about anything that was going on, and they all respected my wishes, which actually made some time more awkward than it would have been otherwise. but i know they love me and zach both and whatever happens is going to happen. even i dont know right now, but i'm not just going to give up without trying, and neither is he.
things aren't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but, they could always be worse.
