random days

i've had a really interesting last few days. yesterday, around 4 pm, i told my friend jim judd that we should go get mexican food for dinner because it was cinco de mayo. well around 7:30 pm, he decided that would be a good idea. then, as i was walking out the door, my friend ryan flanigan called, saying he wanted to hang out with me before i move. so i said i'd give him a call when i got back from dinner. i called him at 10 and he came to pick me up. then we just got in his car and we drove for a while because we didn't know what we wanted to do. so we kept driving. finally, we got some excitement when this white suv started following us. like really following. we turned into a left turn lane, then pulled out and went straight, and they did the same thing. we eventually lost them kind of out in the country. then we went to starbucks, so ryan could get some caramel mocha woman-y drink. and after he finished ordering, and pulls up to the window, turns and asks if i wanted anything. i said i would have like a hot chocolate. so we ended up driving to the other starbucks to get that. then as we were driving down university, i said, "let's go bowling." so we did. then we separated and i went to bed. talk about a random night.

then today, i got up about 9 to get ready to go to starved rock national park (or maybe state...i'm not really sure). well, it was amazing. we hiked some where in the range of 6 miles, ran through a waterfall, and climbed rock walls we really shouldn't have climbed. then we came back to my place and grilled. what a great day. in fact what a great two days.
