I went home from school for the weekend, and I was alone that night so I decided to get a Purple cow ice cream from Ted's (a restaurant). And, by the way, purple cow ice cream is black raspberry ice cream with chocolate and white chocolate chips in it. amazing.
So, I left my house, it immediately started downpouring to the point where I could barely see even with my windshield wipers on high. great..
So I get to Ted's and from running in and out in the rain I was completely soaked.. might as well of gone swimming in my clothes.
As I was pulling out of Ted's, there was suddenly this flash flood/puddle across the whole road that wasn't there when I went into Ted's. Now, I know you're not supposed to drive through puddles incase the road caved in or if there's something in the puddle, but there was no way to turn around, and no way around it because there were other cars behind me and the puddle was across the whole road.
So, I drove through the puddle slowly, but had to have some speed because I almost got stuck in the puddle because it was so high that it was over the bottom of my car, probably half way up my tires/rims.
As I came out of the puddle, I hear a loud noise, and I thought it was thunder at first so I kept driving, and then I realized it was my car.. fantastic. So I get out, and there were two huge pieces that the puddle ripped out from the bottom of my car.. one piece was still connected, but dragging on the ground and the other piece had ripped completely off, and had caught on something else on the bottom of my car and was grinding on a belt or something so I took it out and put it in the back seat of my car.
Needless to say, it was a scary ride home because I could hear the other piece still grinding on a belt making the car make a noise and I thought it was going to blow up or something. (Because believe it or not, I do not know everything about engines..)
I was very frustrated because these kinds of freak things always happen to my car.. always. I take such good care of my car, wash it all the time, detail it, drive it carefully so I don't scratch it, and I even park far away in parking lots so nothing will hit my car and scratch or dent it.. and somehow, something always happens to it.
Here are a couple pictures of it:
This is the piece that got completely ripped off.
This is the front bottom of my car, and that's the piece that was still attached, but was dragging on the ground.
So, it ended up being fine, it was just the plastic guard in the front on the bottom of the car that had been ripped off.. nothing serious.
Still very frustrating, and it wasn't the best way to start off my weekend.
Friday was definitely better. I had a lesson (horseback riding lesson) at 10 in the morning on Carlos, the horse I'm going to be leasing for the summer. :)
I had tried him out a couple weekends before, and he was really fun, and this time we tried jumping him to see how him and I would get along.
Well, it went perfect. Although he's somewhat new to jumping, he's a fantastic jumper, almost just what I've been looking for.
Here are a couple pictures of Carlos and I (from the first time I rode him, no one was available to come take pictures for me during the lesson
He's so handsome :)
So happy :)
Then after my lesson, I got to see my long lost friend, Carolyn, who just graduated from college! She's moving to Florida in a couple weeks and I'm going to miss her so much, but she's going to be working at a really nice horse barn and doing what she loves so I'm glad she'll be happy.
And finally, Friday night was Sanford High School's graduation. One year since I graduated, I felt old, but I also felt like my graduation wasn't even that long ago.
I went to the graduation because I have a bunch of friends that were graduating.
It felt so weird being there again and knowing that I did all of this one year ago. No, I didn't cry, I wasn't sad, but I just was so amazed that it's already been a year.
Well, I got to see almost all of my friends after the graduation and they were all so excited just as my class was. It was great to see everyone though, I got to say my congratulations and good lucks to everyone, even though I'll still probably see most of them over the summer. It was fun.
Then Saturday, June 5th, was finally the day of the Taylor Swift concert. It was in Foxborough, Massachusetts at Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots play, and it was her very last concert of her Fearless Tour that she's been on for 15 months, and it was amazing.
So it was just my friend, Kelley and I that were going together. We were going to drive ourselves, but we ended up being able to ride with Kelley's moms friend, who was taking her daughters. They got a Limo Van to go and they had room for the both of us, so Kelley and I got to ride in a limo van to the concert for free!
I had never seen a limo van, but its basically just a really fancy truck/bus thing and it's just like a limo inside!
So we left at 3pm and were supposed to get there at 5:09pm (according to the GPS), but then we hit traffic.. really bad traffic, and we ended up getting there at like 6:45pm and we missed the band Gloriana (who apparently only sang one song?), but we got to see Kellie Pickler's last two songs, and then Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, so at least we got there, right? Right.
First of all, Gillette Stadium? HUGE. There were 5,500 people at the concert. Needless to say, it was the biggest concert I had ever been to!
This is Gillette Stadium as you're walking toward the entrance.
This is the back of one side of Gillette Stadium.
And this is the back of the other side of Gillette Stadium. There were more people in the front and on the floor too. Crazy huh?
I got to see a couple of my friends from college too! Lauren and Aimee :)
Me, Lauren and Aimee before Justin Bieber.
Kelley and I in our seats, before Justin Bieber.
So Justin Bieber was actually really good, even though he looks like a 12 year old and sounds like a girl.. :) He's a very talented singer and dancer!
Justin dancing with his dancers.
Justin singing, probably looking at some girls, who probably fainted. :p
It was a long wait between Justin and Taylor Swift. It also started raining a little bit right before she came on, but then when she came on, it stopped and it never rained again for the rest of the night!
Taylor Swift was absolutely amazing. She performed for 2 hours, and each song she did was fantastic! I called my friends, Paige and Catherine, during her song, Forever & Always, because that's like "our" song, and they loved it :) I also called Paige during Love Story, and Catherine during Today was a Fairytale.
Here are some pictures of Taylor during different songs:
Taylor singing "You Belong With Me"
Taylor singing "Love Story"
Taylor rocking her custom Patriots jersey that said "Swift" on the back :)
Taylor singing "Fifteen" when she came to the middle of the floor of Gillette Stadium.
Taylor singing "Forever & Always" :)
"If people don't want me to write bad songs about them.. then maybe they shouldn't do bad things to me." - TSwift
So, the concert was awesome, and it was so cool that it was the very last one of her Fearless Tour. Kellie, Justin and Taylor were all incredible, espeically Taylor!
We ended up getting home at about 3:30 in the morning, and I'm still exhausted, but it was so worth it!!
If I ever have the chance to go see Taylor Swift again, I'm definitely going. :)
Then Sunday, June 6th, I left to come back to school for my last 4 classes of my may term (yay!) and a lot of Maine was under tornado watch, and I was heading straight into high tornado warning areas.. great. It was black, windy, and I was pretty much the only car on the road.
Needless to say.. I felt like a tornado chaser! It was kind of fun, all I needed was a camera crew, and some appropriate music.. I was thinking the theme song of Jaws? yes.
Then when I got closer to Farmington.. I saw this.
Scary? yes. It did get bigger, but I don't think it ever touched the ground, but still.. I was scared.
So, I was a tornado chaser.. I kind of drove around to see it because I couldn't stand not knowing where it was.
That was my adventure for the day!
So, this was my weekend, it was pretty eventful, and now here I am with 3 classes left of my May term! I'll finally be going home for good for the summer on Thursday, and I couldn't be more excited!!
I'm actually really glad that I took a May term because I got one class out of the way so I don't have to take in in the Fall and these 4 weeks have gone by so fast!
Of course, that means that I have to go back to working at good ole' Hannaford, but I need money so I'm okay with that.
I'll be able to hang out with my friends and enjoy my summer.
