Let me start off by saying that the North Carolina trip was a blast. It was fun from the first hour in the truck on the way up there until midnight on sunday when we got back. I paired up with reesor and we tented together. I thought it was kind of funny to see that there were two other kids with the exact same pack as me. Craig apparently got a new pack and the other kid, Harrison, had his when we were in NM. Anyways, friday night, ressor and I tormented and beat the younger guys and then we slept on the big bed. Saturday morning we woke up and everybody got dressed and packed then we went down the road to get breakfast. Of course, while on the trip, I picked out a cutie to keep my eye on. On this trip is was H****, he's a freshman but he's really polite and he seems real reserved. He does have a very nice ass though. Saturday's hiking was easy and fun, it wasn't real cold and we actually had snow in which to have snowball fights with. When we got to a semi-nice camping spot we set up camp and settled in for the long cold night. It got so cold that everyone was in their tents by 8 o'clock. When we woke up it was 6 degrees with 35mph winds causing the wind chill to be below zero. I've never been so cold in my life. I was warm everywhere except my hands, feet, and face. So we all hiked back to the cars on sunday and we went back to the cabin for lunch. Then we decided to head back home because we had nothing better to do. I chose to ride in the highlander because it was more comfortable then the truck and the cutie was in it. When I got back to town I checked my voicemail on my cell phone and found out that Nathan called me on friday to wish me well. It was really thoughtful and it made me really happy to hear it. Since I have been back I have talked to him a lot. In fact, yesterday we talked from like 9pm til one in the morning. We set up a date for friday and got off the phone. He somehow puts me in a good mood and all during school he's pretty much what i think about. A lot of people have noticed my good mood and I hope it stays that way. I've told cathy about him, and tonight I told mom i was going on a date with him on friday. She was a little worried but she'll get over it and accept it. Then while talking to him tonight, I found out that he DID call me this morning but hung up because he thought it was my dad. anyways, so i talked to Cathy and she's worried that she's going to lose me because I'll be too occupied but thats not true. True though, i do talk to him all night. But i'll still have time for Cathy. So, he says he's going to call in the morning tomorrow and that would put me in a better mood so it looks like things are starting to look up now. We'll see in the weeks to come. I just hope he ain't in it for sex. I really like his personality and I want a meaningful relationship.
