I've gotta say it was my favorite dance yet-- since every couple in the group was actually dating, there was no drama and we were all just able to have a good time.  The day date was split over a few days.  On the first day, we had a day off of school and met up and Chandler's house to play Settlers of Cataan.  I hate board games due to my lack of attention/analysis skills, yet I had so much fun chilling with them, completely guessing at what I was doing {"Why the heck would you choose that move?!!!!"} and still managing to tie last place with like four of the six players.  The time flew as we joked around, and then we picked up some food to bring back.  Bryan bought a loaf of French bread for a snack, and we also got some giant things of cookie dough and icecream for pizookies.  But the best was yet to come.  Once it got dark, we drove up to some desert backways and parked out in the middle of nowhere and set up beds in the trucks.  The stars were absolutely dazzling with less light pollution from the city.  Someone had a space app on their phone, so scanned the sky to find the names of hundreds of constellations, planets, and stars in the skies.  To me, their is nothing more mesmerizing than the mysteries of the galaxies, the timelessness and the size of the universe.  I ponder the stories behind the Greek names, and I get chills thinking about the religious aspect of it too.  Man, was it a perfect date!  Though I probably could've skipped out on that part where I ran into a jumping cactus.
