So this is one of my favorite pictures. The most chaotic, fun, terrible, and amazing summer all in one. Well, let's start from the beginning. It was the summer of '08 and I was 14. The summer started out just like any other summer, hanging out with friends 24/7, sneaking out, and seeing how much trouble you can really get away with. At the end of June my family went on our annual trip to Ohio so visit my Mom's side of the family. We stayed for about two weeks and came home July 5th. But while we were there my older cousin, Nick, got into some trouble at a bar and decided he was going to sneak away to my house 500 miles away. I guess he talked to my Dad because they decided Nick, Dad, and my brother Cody would leave that night instead of the next morning. Nobody knew about this plan until about an hour after they left and nobody could find Nick. Everyone was furious. Mom, Kala, Tyler (family friend), and I left the next morning. After a six hour drive, we finally got home. By that time my mom was beyond furious and flipped on my dad. They ended up getting in the biggest fight ever. Nick, Cody, Tyler, and I decided to leave the house after having to climb through the downstairs window to get out. We rode bikes all over the place and went to Raintree Development. While riding around we found two houses having a fireworks battle, which was very exciting. We stayed out until like midnight. But when we got home Mom decided her, my sister, and I were moving to Ohio the next morning. For almost two months I had to meet all new people and I never expected to move back to PA. I lost touch with most of my friends and I even discover a hate crew about me on the internet because I moved. Mom enrolled us in school, looked at apartments, and signed my sister up for whatever sports she wanted to play. Finally, one night I talked Mom and Kala into going home for a week for my brother's 16th birthday. August 1st we headed off to PA for another 6 hour trip home. When we finally got back home for the 3rd or 4th time, I didn't waste anytime running over to my friends' house down the road. I stayed there for about an hour and immediately had Dad take me to my bestfriend Tori's with Ash. That whole night we walked around and took a billion and two pictures, which we posted on Myspace of course. It was the best night of my whole summer, especially since I hadn't been able to see either of them all summer.
