JT1: Write about 5 things you do every spring?
Since this is our first journal topic I feel I need to describe myself a bit. I am 27 years old, I am originally from Brownsville, TX and there is not a day I do not miss it. I moved here for a better opportunity and with that I have found better opportunity. I have started class at ITT and I found a full time management job in my career field. I have two kids (animals) which I call my own. Emma and Squeaks are my pride and joy, one cat one dog there is a never dull moment in my family. I am grateful for all of our seasons, some only have one or two. I can’t say I love spring but it does have a plus for the great weather. My spring adventure can be a bit boring at times, in a sense that I hate heat! I am a fall/winter type of girl, but who can go wrong with sitting by the pool! If I had to tell someone about my spring would have to start off with the Comal River. It is located in San Marcos, Texas, right next to Schlitterbahn. Floating this river takes about three hours to go all the way around their route. During this trip you can drink, swim, relax, enjoy the shoots, and jump off the trees and stones. The river is about 10 feet deep some parts may be deeper. This trip to the river always turns into a family vacation to visit my father and sister who both live there. After the river would be our family ranches. Second would be the beach, feeling the sand between your feet can be a huge stress reliever. I am originally from Brownsville, TX which is located fifteen miles from South Padre Island. I miss it every day and I usually save a trip back home just to go to the beach. Third would be our ranches, we are huge hunters in our family. We own 2 fully functional ranches and 2 non-functional. Functional and non-meaning that functional contains water, electricity, and board. The non-functional is just a piece of land just for bird hunting. I stated hunting at a young age and have grown to love it, from the guns to riding 4 wheelers. My next adventure would be fishing, we take trips sometimes to Canyon Lake, Rockwall Marina, and South Padre Island. We tend to always wait for a family trip to go all at once but sometimes it can be two of us. I am a big family person and I like to think that family or friends always make any trip better. Having loved ones near can make any situation good or bad great. The last one would have to be just being at home and enjoy what I have done and look back at where I used to be. I have not had the best past but these events were only my fault and no one else. Sometimes I just like to sit/ lay in bed all day long not doing anything and just be lazy.
