Day 63: Crash a Wedding

365 Firsts/Day 63: 

Crash a Wedding

Step 1: Look the part. I don't even know the names of the people who are getting married and nobody there except one person. I'm driving up to Peoria to either be another one in the crowd or to be interrogated about who I am and who I know. 

I met the bride and groom, Sasha and Jordan Sarver and told them what I was doing during the dollar dance. They were so cool about it! I'm so glad I did this one because it was a total blast and the couple couldn't have been any happier or nicer. Very cool. 

Day 61: Water Skiing

365 Firsts/Day 61:

Water Skiing (part 2-Drive a Boat) 

This was so much fun! I failed repeatedly but finally the last time around I stood up for about 30 seconds. I've got some bruises and I don't know if I'll be able to have children later on in life (if you know what I mean) but it was awesome! And I got to this with my fake sister, Cassandra, who I haven't seen in a year and her super cool brother in law, Luke, who let me go out on his boat. 

Day 57: Summer Kindness

365 Firsts/Day 57: 

Summer Kindness 

I almost got caught on this one! It's really hot today so I bought a couple of water guns and some bubbles and stalked the Walmart parking lot for an unassuming family or parent and kids. I came across a van that has one of those stickers on the back with the little stick figures on it that shows how many people are in the family and this one had FIVE kids. Perfect. I was getting stared at by four employees who were collecting carts and when I realized it I just kind of stared back and then turned around and got in my car and drove a little bit away and parked. Super sneaky, I know. At the exact moment I parked, a college aged kid came up to the van and saw the stuff, picked up the note and read it. The guy loaded the van full of groceries and shortly after that the mom and two little kids about age 7 and 5 came over. I saw them talking for a minute and then he got in the van and she opened the door. He had put everything in the drivers seat. She took out the note and started reading it and I saw her smiling a bunch and then she opens the back door where the kids are and hands them the bubbles and water guns. It was awesome to see her smile and actually see kids reaching for the stuff. I really hope they do go out and use them today because it wasn't about the actual items as much as it was about maybe getting a parent or two who is always so busy to take a break from the madness and have some fun with their kids because that's just as important as raising them in my opinion. I know I'm blessed with a good life so I might as well splurge a little for other people and spread some goodness or whatever you want to call it around every once in a while I can.
