That water was sooooo cold!

I don't know whose idea this was? LOL.  But it was a good one!!

Looking Forward To This Weekend!! Vacation Time!

So, the entire family is going to Cleveland tomorrow!  Friendship Raceway is closed this weekend because of the Jefferson County Fair, so Dad put this vacation together for us!! 

THANKS DADDY!  YOU TOO MUMMA! :)

Our original plan was to drive up Friday afternoon, check into our hotel, and hangout for that first day.  And then off to Geauga Lake's Wild Water Kingdom Saturday and Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on  Sunday.  But, when Dad found out it was supposed to rain on Sunday, he changed the schedule up a bit.  Now, we plan on leaving tomorrow morning at 8:00am and driving straight to the Zoo.  Saturday we will go to the water park and Sunday will be our chill day!! 

Anyhow....  I haven't been on more than a day excursion for over 3 years, so, I am totally psyched!!

Laural Hollow Park, Newell, West Virginia

The most perfect, private, little place :)

Tasha drives passed this little park on a daily basis on her way to work and has expressed her interest to me several times.  The park's entrance is all you can see from the street, because the entire place is engulfed in trees!

We decided to explore!

Paths wind into one another and lead into the opening of the park, which is set up to be amphitheater.  It's actually an old Polar Bear Den re-purposed as the stage, and is surrounded by benches that I believe to have been donated.

It's a really neat little park.  From what I understand, they hold concerts and other community events here.  You can view more info on the website : http://www.laurelhollowpark.net/

I only want to help.

My entire life, I have been that girl. The girl that worries. The girl that cares.  The girl that always has to get involved and voice her opinion. The counselor, the confidant, the go-to.

I have some innate instinct to play mother hen to any person I come across whom may seem unhappy, upset, or in need of a friend. I have even found myself hugging complete strangers at the pharmacy counter because I noticed them crying or distraught.

For the most part, I can say that being an empathetic person has given me the highest level of fulfillment and the attainment of incomparable bonds and relationships.


On the other hand, being critically involved in the lives of others is pretty tricky business.

People don't always want to hear the truth.  Sometimes people don't want a solution.  They don't want to be understood.   They want to be pitied and comforted.  That's the kind friend I have trouble being.

When something is wrong, I can't just let it be.  I must take action. Something must be done to fix the problem. So, when I see a person I care about acting in a behavior that is neither beneficial to them or their causes, I have to bring it to their attention.  That is what a friend does.  When your messing up.  Your friend plays that mirror for you and lets you know that your messing up. 

So.... sometimes you don't want to hear what I think, or what I have to say.  Understandable.  But know this...  I cared enough to have an opinion.  If my words sometimes seem harsh, let me apologize now.   I really only want to help.
