Sometimes good-bye is a second chance.

Hay thair.
Woodnit bee annoiing if I spelt lyke this?

I promise that won't happen. :)

So there's a possibility of my sister and me spending three weeks in
Idaho this summer! How awesome would that be?! We'd be staying with
someone I've been friends with since grade two. She's an such an
awesome person. :D And where she lives is really pretty. Great camping
out there too. I can see it being an amazing three weeks if we get to
go. 'Just waiting for the okay from my folks!

Today was the ideal Spring day. It was warm and beautiful outside,
even if it was a bit overcast. My sister and I went biking on the
trails on the trails and hills and then by the river when we decided
we should go swimming. It seemed like a splendid idea at the time as
we were both hot from biking and it was quite muggy. After we went
home and changed, I took us to a spot where the river made this little
pocket and it looks pretty deep. It looked like an awesome place to
jump into. So, naturally, I ran and jumped off the bank and submerged
myself in the water.
If you haven't swam in glacier river water during the spring run-off,
I'm not sure if I recommend it. Unless you'd like your body to refrain
from functioning properly due to FREEZING COLD water. And I mean
FREEZING! :P
Holy crap, I've never expirienced anything like that ever. I think the
river was even colder than the ocean in April when I went in 2004.
This was beyond cold, worse than the mountain lake that my family has
been going to for about ten years. When I went under, my body froze
and refused to move. And when I did surface, it was like I had to
force myself to inhale because the cold was forcing all the air out of
my lungs. "What's wrong? Oh, BREATHE! Come on, breathe! Why the hell
can't I breathe?!" O
nce your chest clears the water, your fine but when you go back in the
same thing happens. It was intense. :D

Yeah, then I went running again today for half an hour. It was a good
day. :)

And you know what the weather is suposed to be like tomorrow after
such a warm day today? Snow. AHHH. It's raining right now, let's hope
it doesn't turn to snow overnight...

Man, I really hope I can go to Idaho! I want to go soooo bad. We'll see.
