I’d been talking about it all week, and I was starting to annoy people. However, I just couldn’t help it. I felt like my heart was going to explode out of my chest with all the happiness inside me.

There were a few puffy white clouds and birds flew through the air, chirping a happy song. It was the perfect weather for a perfect day. I sat on a worn out, defluffed, maroon couch outside watching my younger sister work with the few customers at her garage sale. Occasionally, she would make me get up and help her with some random chore she needed to get done. I didn’t mind it though. It kept me busy until what I knew would make the day even more perfect.

His house is small, and a dark brown color. You have to drive on a gravel alley to get to the garage and all the parking spaces. Once inside, we went down to the basement where his room is. There, the wooden walls are designed with tree and deer decals. We entered his room and I was shocked. His room was spotless. The blue bed was made, and there were no clothes on the floor. New shelves had been put up with tractors lining them. The trash was empty, and you could actually see the couch. His room looked welcoming and

    Excitement built up inside of me. We were about an hour away from my aunt’s house; I loved the thought of being with my family, but I also loved the daring and silly activities that we did when we got there. That summer, we had gone to a strawberry farm. I thought that it was going to be incredibly monotonous and absurd; but I was wrong. It was torrid and unbearable in the summer heat, and when we arrived there, I sat back and dreaded the walk, but the summer brought great things to that…

With a big paper I didn't want to write, a hockey game I couldn’t wait to play in, and a family gathering later that night, all of the things I had to do piled up.

Two hours came and went and I headed out to my hockey game. I piled up the car with my gear and drove to Nobles to meet the team and play our last game.…

It was right at that moment that I suddenly realized the huge difference between saying you’re going to do something and actually doing it. Everything seemed so easy four months ago I mean how hard it could it be all I had to do was get on the plane and boom in a matter of five hours I’d be in Mexico.
