Bye-Bye North Dakota

North Dakota, where I grew up and still reside today, is not what I'd like to call an ideal place of living for me. I prefer to be warm enough where I don't have to wear a sweatshirt just to keep a little warm. If North Dakota could stay as wonderful as it is during the summer, I'd be perfectly fine. However, my home is a little bit moody and decides to get cold.
Now, I'm not here to complain about North Dakota and it's weather. Consdering the title, I'm sure anyone could realize that. I'm actually super stoked about going to Texas this summer with my good friend Kylie and my mom. We're going to a LCMS (Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod) Youth Gathering in San Antonio,  Texas. Unfortunately, we're traveling all the way there in a bus not on a plane. We're leaving on a Friday at about FIVE in the morning and not getting there until Saturday. Not too excited about that part. However, my week long vacay in a so much warmer place is exactly what I need. Being the curious person I am, I went searching on Google for the Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio, which is the hotel we're staying in. I'm pretty sure I died, obviously not literally. The whole architectural aspect of it is ridiculous. It has 38 floors and over 915 rooms, with an outdoor pool to cool you off from the hot summer sun, and not to mention it happens to be connected to a mall.
If I said I know a whole lot about what's going to happen during this trip, I'd be lying. I have no idea what we're doing, what's going to happen, or even if it's going to be an experience I'll enjoy. All I can say is I'm excited to be far away from home. I can say I've gone to the East Coast, but not the South which is another reason I'm excited to go. A goal in my life is to go to every state in the United States, possibly excluding Alaska. Going on this trip will subtract four states from my list including, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas. I'm overly ecstatic, and not to mention impatient. Texas, here I come!!!!
