An Afternoon At The Park

My best friend and I.

Today started out as a pretty normal day. My family and I decided to go to our house to finish cleaning it out before the new people move in. There's still one day left of it. Not that we're messy people, but just the constant travelling in and out while moving (in the rain, I might add), we didn't have time to clean. It's just minor cleaning that we have to do anyway.

When we got home, I got a text from my best friend to come hang out with her. My brother (who is also good friends with her) tagged along as well because he was bored. To make a long story short, we ended up going down to her father's house and hanging out with her brother as well.

We're very fortunate in our town. There are many parks, and they're all pretty well kept, even with all the college and university students around who always tend to get drunk and reckless (but that's a story for another day).

We decided to go to one of the parks since we didn't want to spend the whole afternoon inside a house. It's amazing how much good it did to go. My brother and I have been under a lot of stress lately because of the move, so just letting loose really helped. We went back to being kids: swinging, monkey bars, sliding, etc.  I haven't laughed so much in such a long time!

The picture I included was taken today during our time at the park. As stated, it's of my best friend and I. We've been best friends for about 6 or so years, but it's the first picture we took of just us two. We've had many pictures taken of us, but always with other people. I honestly don't know what I would do or where I would be without her.
