Yes, the
picture above is me on a mechanical bull…this new leaf business is getting a
little bit out of hand, but I have to say, the experience was quite a rush and a
workout. I have a new appreciation for bull riders and their abilities. My 8
Second Ride was only one aspect of my incredible weekend with one of my closest
and longest friends, Necia. I have known Necia since 5th grade and
let’s just say 14 or so years later; some things never change and probably
never will.
For as long
as I can remember, even when we were young, Necia and I always found a way to
go on some kind of adventure. From trips to Lake Powell, to all day outings at
the baseball park, to staying up all night with new friends, we truly enjoyed our
time together. I was so excited to have her come to San Diego this past weekend
and the timing could not have been better. I finished up classes on Thursday
and had my first four complete days off in I don’t know how long. Necia got in
Thursday night and the rest is history.
My favorite
thing about Nec is her easy going, genuine, sweet spirit. She is up for doing
anything, even if it is simply spending the day lying on the beach…actually, I
think lying in the sun is one of the things Nec and I do best…and we enjoy
every second of it. Nec also loves baseball. We grew up at the baseball park,
from watching my younger brothers to boys our age play, we would literally
spend our entire summer days watching games. This weekend we made a last minute
decision to go to a Padres game on Saturday Night. I couldn’t think of a better
date than Nec…we enjoyed hot dogs and baseball like a couple of dudes. I was
actually really impressed at Necia’s knowledge of all the players and their
stats. I thought I was a baseball fan, but she took it to a whole new level…I
am even considering joining the fantasy baseball thing next year after watching
her.
One of the
highlights of the weekend was deciding to ride a mechanical bull…we both kind
of got suckered into it by a friend and neither one of us was going to be the
person to back out. It was definitely an experience, full of lots of laughs and
ridiculous pictures…seriously being bounced on a bull is not necessarily the
best picture setting…but nonetheless, it will be a memory we look back and
laugh at forever. I think that is the greatest thing that I have gained on my
journey to wholehearted living, a lot of incredible, invaluable memories. This
weekend was just another adventure to add to the list. Thank you Nec, for
coming out and sharing the best parts of life with me. I love you to the moon
and back and am so blessed for our friendship!
