No Exs from Texas...

except maybe a pretend one in 5th or 6th grade when I went to a ghetto middle school in Killeen.

I really do feel like I don't have to say much more about how awkward my life is, but this is just too good.

I call my family on July 2nd and my Dad says, "Guess what! We got a surprise for you and Chance!" Thinking to myself.. hmm wonder what that could be. "We bought two kayaks!" Thoughts: Uh uh uh

My parents then explain that they've been thinking about this for a while now and that they're taking it with them to the beach. Were going to the beach in a few weeks in Florida so for a second that's what I thought they were talking about. Then I realized they were probably going sooner and got really sad when I thought they were going to Hilton Head for the 4th without me. They then exclaimed, "Oh.. we didn't tell you? Were going to the Violette's (ex bf's family) beach house!" Yep my family doesn't tell me anything. A couple of weeks before my Dad had surgery on his knee and I didn't find out until I received this text from my Mom, "Dad just got out of surgery, he's doing great!" I had no words but was also not surprised.  The families are still great friends which is really great, just seems super awkward from the outside world. It definitely can be in ways...

I asked Jamie to fill me in on the trip as it went a long for blogging entertainment.

-My brother and Jamie were never all that close, so that was probably one of the more awkward situations. Jamie said they went kayaking alone and had lots of solid "bonding" time.
-The fact that our moms still FREAK OUT when they see each other- so close to tears...
-That awkward moment when the families were watching the NYC fireworks show on t.v. and asked Jamie if he had ever been to NYC. He went with us three years ago around Christmas time...

Then there's the fact that I resorted to texting him to reach my parents because they wouldn't answer their phones, like what is my life?

Chance also decided to text me repeatedly teasing me and taking full advantage of the situation at hand. PERFECT little-brother material. He also pulled a big no-no. He called both Jamie and I out for being Snapchat "best friends". That's just something that you don't talk about. I could almost write a whole new blog on just that and the level of awkwardness that it falls under. The worst part of the recent Snapchat updates is that now you can simply click and see best friends instead of waiting for Safari to upload. This motivates people to creep on their Snapchat friends to see who snapchats who the most- not gonna lie, I do it too. And it's totally okay if you do- they put it out there! However- it's an unspoken rule to not talk about it (give or take certain situations). Also, you just look like a stalker if you do bring it up- so ha, Chance.

A laughable moment for me against Chance:
-That time Memom, Jamie's grandma, hugged Chance goodbye and pulled his pants up as she hugged him, muwahahahah.
