A Kegger, Bonfire, Walk to Opus 40, Sweet Night Trip to the City, and a 5 a.m. taxi to Newark Airport.

So holy wow. I haven't written in a while because I really haven't had time. Mostly. Dan came down to stay with my Friday night and we went to Sues for a fantastic time with my BBB Cassie and her family, her mom gave me the most kick ass hug. Laura was there which automatically made it more awesome, and even Andrew came up from the city. Saturday morning Laura, Mary, and I rolled the rest of the logs, and when Dan and Andrew finally woke up and came out we rolled a huge log that was the bottom of the hammock tree over to the fire pit. I almost died on the roll over because my boot slipped out from under me and I went flying forward. But seriously, we made the most kick ass bonfire pit ever.

Andrew took down our original 3 level structure, and reconstructed an excellent pit that made it through the night. We tapped the keg at 5, and 5 minutes later lit up the hugest most bad ass fire I have ever seen. I am still surprised we didn't light the whole forest on fire. In the picture look at how much higher the fire is even than the van.



Dan and I were sitting way to close to the fire and it was like we were melting!!!! So fun and totally worth it though!


Opus 40 might possibly be one of my favorite places in the world. I love going there. With friends or alone, it is one of the most calming and fulfilling places. I used to run there when I was younger and just sit on the rocks and think. Next time I am home I will need to go there for a longer period of time, because this time we barely even walked through before we went home. Maybe I could get married there!!



And yes, you read the title right. Mary and I got in a taxi this morning at 5 a.m. Made it to Newark safe, and I'm chillin now in Seattle, Washington.

Next Stop - HAWAII
