Concord, New Hampshire
Afterward

One last thing:

I wasn’t going to tell my parents about the tattoo, but my anxiety is only rivaled by guilt and keeping something like this from them is a mixture of both. I somehow found the courage to show my mom. She was surprised I’d gone through with it, asked if it hurt, and said she liked it. My dad was indifferent. As was Mikey.

I’m glad I told them. =)

DAY 2

A good night sleep felt incredible! We got up around 9:00AM, had breakfast at Friendly’s and met up with my parents and Mikey at Meadow Ledge Farm. We picked apples, had their absolutely delicious homemade apple doughnuts and followed my parents back to Joanne’s.

Concord, New Hampshire
DAY 1

I’ve been up for 42hrs.

Every fall, my family and I take a day trip to New Hampshire to visit my mom's aunt Joanne and her son Steven. They live right down the street from Meadow Ledge Farm, where we've been picking apples and buying doughnuts for years. I've taken friends with us occasionally, but none of them ever stuck around long after that. I don't think it was the trip itself, but in case it was, I was hesitant to bring anyone else ever again.

I don't know what possessed me to invite Lianne, my best friend of about 5yrs, but I did and she agreed. But she didn't want to just go up for the day, and I thought mayeb the change would be good. So, we got Joanne's address and searched for the nearest hotel that would book two 18-year-olds.

Introduction

I've been so busy with the look and content of my blog, I haven't had the time to post anything. Well, the time has come to make an introduction to the set-up:

Half of these posts will be from what little I can recall from a time before I actually made an effort to perfect my travel planning skills. I'll do my best to keep things as accurate as possible - I'm a stickler for detail.

I'll be writing, in present tense, about events that took place 5yrs ago - here's where all that talent in creative writing comes in handy - and work my way up to copy and pasting posts from other blogs I've made along the way. I might even link the originals...we'll see where this goes.

I'm so excited to get this baby started!
