My first and only cruise. Specifically sitting at 4AM B.S'ing in a hallway with all my cruise friends that I never saw again.

First trip snowboarding. Specifically riding the ski lift up to the blues and blacks having 0 experience but just following people with my best friend haha

First trip to Electric Forrest. Specifically the Above and Beyond set where it started raining the instant the beat dropped. Looked left saw my best friend, looked right saw my girl, looked up and rain hit my face. Surreal.

My most recent renaissance festival. Specifically sitting in the backseat while driving home. Window was down, i was a little drunk, just feeling the moment of being surrounded by my best friends for my bday.

Hanging out in the woods as a kid. Specifically when the neighborhood friends and I found a downed tree which we deemed our new home base. We took s photo, and over the course of the summer we converted it to our hangout.

I was so happy to still have a house at that moment. Morale faded after a day or so but that moment was pure joy. Haha.

Yep, me too. Except for maybe my dying days. Unless it happens quick, which is what I'd prefer.

Lead climbing Garden of the Gods
