| Yep! Proof that I did it. I really did! I went up to a 300 drop with nothing but a rip cord and my sweetie! |
This was probably one of the funnest times James and I have gone to Lagoon. It's generally a hit or miss here. It can sometimes be too crowded, the weather can be too warm, or too cold, or sometimes the rides are out of order, but that wasn't the case for today!!! It was on a wednesday (during the middle of the week) so it wasn't crowded, it was overcast, and we got 10 $ off because I brought 2 coke beverages! Talk about suh-weet!
We rode wicked, colossus, Space Scramber (one of my favorites), Terror ride, Draculas castle, The white roller coaster (which I found out was built in 1921.. CRRRAAAZY) , the train, The Sky Ride, Tidal wave, The log ride, Rattlesnake Rapids, The rocket, and see that picture above... YES I went on the Sky Coaster! I don't know what got into me. A deep love for my husband? I've been with him probably 4 or more times and he's always asked to go, this time when he did.. something inside of me just went. "Why not?" Maybe it was the fact that I want to enjoy life to the fullest and stop being the worry wort that I can be. Or maybe it was the fact that I looove roller coasters and I was up for another thrill. Or maybe it was just that I didn't want to see James sweet face be let down again. Who knows! All that I DO know is that I went, and it was scary and totally worth it! One because it really was fun! Just like one big swing, but for another it felt very good accomplishing and facing a fear. Some may not know that my Dad died from falling, some may also not know that I fear heights especially watching others on those heights, but today I not only went on one myself, but I went with my sweet heart. It felt really good. It felt good knowing I'm only as limited as I let myself be and I can honestly say that I feel like a new person and woman. Ever since about two years ago I decided to let go of my fear of EVERYTHING, of calories, putting myself out there(even at just social gatherings), of criticism, or not being accepted or liked, and just started doing things that *I* wanted to do and not caring what others may or may not think of me I have been a lot happier person. I try to be the best person I can be, and I try very hard to make the right choices. I'm glad that I can relax and rest once in a while, and forgive myself when I mess up. I know I'm not perfect and I DO mess up, but I'm happy that I can say "Wow, this is hard-but I know I can do it so I will." I know I have potential and life is so much easier seeing through these new pair of lenses. It's a softer and more clear viewpoint and I fully enjoy it.
Also with that being said, Today while holding James hand I got the strongest confirmation in my heart that I am with the man I am supposed to be with. I've always wondered if my real earthly father approved of my spouse, and today at Lagoon..I reminisced at all the times my dad had taken me there, and I just felt this feeling in my heart that this guy that was holding my hand while we are totally and drastically different. We do share a lot of things in common and I am hopelessly and desperately in love with him. As I rehash everything we are doing right now, I look forward to us being parents and I know with out a doubt in my mind that he will be a good father.
We came home, got subway and I crashed. Super long day, but soooooo worth it's merits!
