I just had the best spring break ever. My entire family went skiing in Colorado. We rented a condo that we stayed at. We drove fifteen hours to get there, but it was a fun drive. We spent three days skiing. It was my first time ever skiing on real mountains. Caitlin snowboarded the entire time and she wasn’t too bad for a first timer. She started off skiing, but after rolling down the mountain head first, she was finished. My muscles in my body were so sore the first night after skiing. That a simple walk across the room was painful. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub. We had nice weather the entire time we were there. Being on the chair lifts was incredible. I’ve never felt so close to God before. You can see everything from the chair lifts. The mountains go on and on. I could even see another ski resort miles and miles away. Surrounding me were the green pine trees and the powder blue sky and the sun warming my face. I already look forward to next year when we go skiing again. The rest of my relatives went to Florida. They planned it out and rented a big million-dollar house on the ocean where they spent a week. Not a single person in the family invited my family. This is the second year they have gone without inviting us. We wouldn’t go even if they did invite us, but they didn’t even offer. I’d never consider being stuck in a house for a week with that family on a vacation. To me it sounds more like a nightmare. I don’t let it eat away at me, though I wouldn’t want to be around half that family to begin with. The family members I respect are the ones I have a relationship with. They are the ones that didn’t take sides when everything came out about the abuse. I really look up to my Aunt Jenny. She is my favorite aunt and minded her own business when everything went downhill in the family, which is the reason I go over to her house so much and baby-sit for her. Anyway I could write a novel about how rude my relatives are, but it isn’t worth my time. I have school in the morning and must get some sleep.
