I found this list today. (It's below) Don't even ask why I was looking up date ideas... I don't have a boyfriend. Nor am I going on a date soon. (Well that I know of :p)
But that isn't what I wanted to really talk about. I guess it really hit me that I have graduated, I've turned 18, I'm an adult moving on to the adult life. Last night we had a grad banquet at my church. First Matt (youth pastor) talked about me, then Mrs. Fisher (she's my mentor and I love her) then what really hit me was my mom got up and talked. She doesn't talk in groups and I really didn't think she would. She made me cry. And my dad spoke after her. And by then it was hitting me that I finished it. I really did it. I did the work and I graduated. Then today I sat and read my book of notes from my grad party. That made me cry again. It's kind of overwhelming to have all this actual happen. A year and a half ago I was ready to drop out of school and just find a job. But I didn't. I did it. I didn't cry last week at the first ceremony. I didn't cry Saturday. Just Sunday and today. Oh boy. I never thought this day would come. Now I'm not sure how I feel about it being here. It's a relief and scary at the same time. But I know I'll make it.
1. Pretend you’ve never met, then loudly try out lame pickup lines in a swanky bar. Act like they worked.
2. Go on a walking journey and every fifteen feet draw a chalk arrow in the direction you’re going. At the end of the trip, leave a big pile of chalk.
3. Create photo evidence suggesting that you went on an adventure that didn’t really happen.
4. Go for a drive. You can only make right-hand turns. When you finally get stuck, turn around and then you can only make left-hand turns. Repeat until you find something interesting. Take pictures along the way!
5. Build forts out of furniture and blankets, and wage war with paper airplanes.
6. Go to a major chain bookstore, and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favorite books.
7. Write a piece of fiction together. Outside at a cafe. Ask strangers when you get stuck.
8. Try and visit as many people as you can in one night, and turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can, without them noticing.
9. Do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time!
10. Hide and seek in the park.
11. Go around the city with sidewalk chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things.
12. Drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you’ve never been to. With fake names.

15. Go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them, compile photo evidence.

19. Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras.
20. In the middle of the night, drive to the beach, so you arrive just as the sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic, then fall asleep together. Bring a sun umbrella.
21. Dress up as superheros and stop at least one petty crime ie. jaywalking, littering….
22. Go to a minor league baseball game under the stars. Tell each other stories about how bad you are at athletics. Randomly cheer for both teams. Eat lots of Cracker Jack.

I think having fun is the most important part of any relationship.
Random fact
I haven't owned a bike since I was 12. I'm trying to decide if I want to get one now.
