Over a month has passed since Spring Break 2012. I used to think of spring break as a week to work hard for a little more cash. Hey, no school, right?! Money is always important, but let's not forget happiness as well. I usually stick with the realistic approach. This time, I thought of adventure, something new, something beautiful--anything but La Crosse for a couple of days. Gus and Burgandy put the fire under my ass, and I walked to Outdoor Connections and signed up to go to Utah.
I am an open person, willing to have a good time, and I love people. I am shy at first though. Sometimes it can be so frustrating, and I knew the beginning of this trip wouldn't be different. Being with strangers was my first adventure. I know I need to push myself to get to know new people, even if it is a little difficult at times. With a little help from Gus and Burgandy, I was able to overcome my shyness quickly. Utah was the other adventure. Both were, far and away, more successful than I could have imagined. It took a couple of days to crawl out from behind my wall of shyness. When I did I also started to discover how amazing all of the people are. We all had each other's backs. A conversation wouldn't be complete without a song attached to it, and we all learned how to do push-ups like beasts.
What an amazing week it was. I count myself lucky to have the resources to take such a trip, and I am even luckier to have met the people that I did.
Thank you to everyone, especially two of the best friends ever, for having the week of a lifetime.
