What a weekend! I heard about these waterfalls on the
Hassayampa River and wanted to find them. It was a complicated process
involving multiple maps and references, but we did it! I felt very
accomplished. And as a bonus, we found this old mine structure full of amazing
graffiti; the perfect place to throw a party! We were also intrigued by the fact that there is an active mining claim here... People are looking for gold!
Laura was climbing around on the falls and saw this cute
little frog. She went to touch it, and it leaped off the ledge into the water.
She was marveling about its eyesight, depth perception, etc., and I was like,
“But what if he didn’t know he was going to make it? Laura, what if the thought
of you touching him was so repulsive, he was willing to jump to his possible
death?” We laughed and laughed about this.
One of the best parts of this day was escaping the heat- 115
in the Valley, 74 and rainy up in the mountains. It even hailed on us!
I got to sing with the worship team on Sunday morning, which
I really really love. It’s just as dorky as it sounds, but I don’t care. I love
to get up there and kick off my heels and just sing. I had lunch with Rachel
and Carmen, and then a date at the aquarium. It was pretty pathetic. Both the
aquarium and the date. The date did not ask me any questions about myself and
started talking about tripping on shrooms like, 10 minutes into the date. The
aquarium really didn’t have much to see. I was like, “Where are the penguins?
Where are the otters? WHERE IS THE BELUGA???” Chicago has ruined me for other
cities.
When I got home, I got on Tinder. I was determined to not be
discouraged and to keep trying. And who should I be matched with but Sexy
Windows! There was some texting and flirting and I really really hope he likes
me, and also, that I don’t get in my own way with all my social awkwardness. (I
think I’m really bad at letting guys know I’m interested.)
There are good things ahead of me, I just know it.
