Pow Wow!!
So earlier this week I just got back from visiting Kyle for 7 days. I had such a blast! It was worth the uncomfortable 6 hour ride back and forth just to see him (mind you it HAS been more than a month).
We visited the Pow Wow that was going on (I got really tanned from that) and also went golfing. I didn't want to seem like such a tourist so I didn't buy a souvenir but Kyle did have to pay $2 for the Pow Wow brochure so I'll take that as my gift :). I guess in a way he kind of pampered me lol...but not really since he's making the big bucks working hard at the golf course.
Speaking of golf, we played a lot of that too! I brought up my golf clubs in my mom's handy-dandy squishy yet durable traveling bag and we played a couple of times, most of them with Kyle's relatives and family friends. It's kind of cool to meet some family friends since our family doesn't have that many. We are just kind of to our selves and there aren't like huge social gatherings like his....but then again he's native so I can't really compare.
One of Kyle's cousins recently got engaged and we had a little party to celebrate. It was really neat because everyone wrote their own personal advice to them and put it in this bag that they're not allowed to open until after their wedding day (which won't be for a year or two). The lady that the cousin is engaged to is in kind of a similar situation as me (but now much more serious because she's engaged). She was in a small family and when she first went up to visit his family and realized how huge it was she was kind of in shock. So now I know I'm not the only one that's going through it....but then again, she is part native while I'm 100% chinese (I think...). The engagement party was great, it was pretty interesting getting totally drunk with Kyle, his parents AND his grandma....I wish I could go get drunk with my parents and grandparents and still have a good time. But yea, we both drank too much and I need to find pictures of that night so I can piece what happened back together (I remember dancing with Kyle's grandma though....that was pretty fun!)
I loved the fresh air and seeing the stars and seeing my boyfriend. It was almost magical, I had just an amazing time and I can't wait to visit again. Probably not for a while though since school's about to start and I don't think my boss at M&Ms is going to give me more breaks off.
Kyle said he might come down in two weeks time with his parents but I dont think there is much we can do except play a round of golf and then eat dinner. That's ok though, I'll see him probably almost everyday when school starts (hopefully everyday if possible...not saying I'm clingy or anything).
When I got home, things went straight back to normal and it almost felt like I didn't go at all. I get that feeling every time I come back from a totally awesome and vigorating trip. I'm helping my parents with their huge backyard project to turn most of the grass into a nice stone patio-ish type thing. It's much better than what we had before because all the pine needles from our humungous pine tree isn't letting grass grow anyways so why not.
Time to go! Bye bye!
