One Week In

Ok so the title is kind of a lie, I haven't been here a whole week. But I am having an awesome time and loving it here. The weekend/first days after move in where pretty chill. I went to several "classes" around campus that were about different resources around campus, like the CAT team which is like an escort program for students that are walking around at night and the Wellness Center which provides 20 free condoms if you are part of the "Love Glove Club" (don't worry I am not about that life). I also got to take part in the Wildcat Cup. This massive assembly type event is comprised of games that your resident halls take place in, you are also supposed to dress up in your hall's "spirit color" (ours was purple). So I got all of my purple gear together (which wasn't much but I tried) and went out (I even played in one of the games which was super fun). Another part of the Wildcat Cup was the lip sync battle between the halls (which I did of course), Hitchcock (my residence hall) put together a "Music Through the Decades" mashup (featuring my stirring impersonations of Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea). But unfortunately my hall did not win the cup which sucked but it was still fun. What else did I do..... Oh yes, I watched "22 Jump Street" (which was really funny), skyped with Jared, got calls from home, unpacked, went to a street fair, and experienced the worst shopping ever at Fredmeyer. Each year when the students are all coming back the stores of Ellensburg have a bunch of deals on their merchandise. And since I needed a few things from the store I devided to go, I kid you not this was literally Black Friday v2. The line to get into the store was around the building; luckily I managed to get in, get my stuff (one purchase that was wrong I just figured out), grab some free pizza, and get out (while only spending $.30 (thanks Anthony Schmidt for the $20 gift card)). Then the next day was the first day of classes which was really fun (sorta, I didn't want to get up, Jared had to convince me) I found all of the classrooms easily and despite not having any of my books got along just fine. Since being here I have managed to make a few friends (there you go Dad I am being social); most of these new friends are part of my youth group Xa (Chi Alpha) they are all really nice people and I love hanging out with them. I went to coffee with Corrinne, one of the leaders, a bbq at the Xa house, a movie night at Corrinne's apartment, and another bbq at the house of one of the church families (they had cows and it made me happy). All in all a great first almost week, I will try and post as much as I can when I get the chance but don't get mad if it takes a while.

Ramey Road Trip Day 6: First Family Visit

Image
Today was another day of just driving goodness. There were no side stops planned since we were trying to get to where we were staying for the night so the Rameys could spend some time with their relatives. So mostly we drove….. Jared and I watched a lot of Game of Thrones (we are currently in the middle of season five) and made pit stops every once in a while. The main highlight of the trip was that we crossed the Missouri River. That was pretty neat, there was a rest stop on the other side of the river that had a small Lewis and Clarke museum and an overlook where you could go and see the bridges across the river. Then guess what happened next?? More driving…… We drove for a couple of hours more until we got to the next cool thing. This time we were crossing the Mississippi River! We went to another rest area for lunch and hiked down a trail to the lookout spot where you could see part of the river. After lunch it was back to driving. We drove and drove and drove unti...

Ramey Road Trip Day 24-25: The Long Trip Home

Image
Good morning everyone! Here is another two-for-one special! Remember the flat tire incident from the other day? Well yesterday we had to go get it taken care of. Mama Ramey woke Jared and I up so that we could move and they could drive to the local Les Schwab to get it fixed up. While the mechanics were working on the car all of the kids slept and the parents went to Denny's to get some breakfast. With breakfast consumed and tires fixed, we set back out on the road. The whole day was pretty much spent driving with very few pit stops. Though we did stop at a bridge where Evil Kenevil did one of his stunts and watched some people base jump. Then we just drove until we got to our campground which was in Oregon this time. Once we got there Jared, CC, and I went swimming for a bit before we all got out to go and eat dinner. Then Jared and I went to the arcade to play some games (there were some really old games) until it closed and we went back to sit around the fire. We both hung o...

Ramey Road Trip Day 21: Desert Days

Image
Today started very early for some reason. Mama Ramey wanted to get up and go right away so she got us up out of our bed and had us move to the big bed so that they could start driving. We didn't officially wake up until like 9:30.  So we pretty much drove a lot today. We had two scheduled stops but that was it. The first was to Four Corners. For those who don't know, Four Corners is basically a place where you can stand in four states at once: Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. So we stopped for a bit and took our pictures, there were also a bunch of vendors set up around the patio area selling different wares so we looked around for a bit. Then we headed back to the RV so we could eat lunch, everybody except Austin and I had Indian tacos which are tacos on top of fry bread. I had a chicken salad sandwich and I am pretty sure Austin just had chips.  Then we set off so we could get to our next stop. This time we were going to a place called Mesa Verde National Park...
