Rafting Trip

My cousin Nikki is getting married Aug 1. Being the nice sweatheart that she is she got a rafting trip together with help from some friends for all of her bridesmaids to go on. I couldnt wait. I know people who have gone rafting and i was so excited. Ryan took friday off early so i could just stay the night at my aunt pams house and we could just get moving early in the morning. Well that night i found out that we would not be going on a raft....WTF!!! We would be going on inflatable "duckies" or kyaks!!!

I fear the water. I dont go swimming in water that i cant see the bottom. I start getting anxiety really bad and have a hard time swimming back to the boat. I dont go tubing anymore for that reason and if i do go tubing i hold on for dear life and i dont let go. I'm one of those people who its hard to tip the tube cuz i'm holding on so tight.

Well to say the least it was an adventure. One that i dont care to take again. Terrifying...exhilirating....terrifying....scary....fun. Yes there was a fun in there. We played some games but overall i coudlnt wait till it was over.


I made it down in one piece thanks to some guys who stopped and helped when some girls tipped over in thier duckies. They were a lifesaver. I think they were meant to show up and they showed up at just the right moment. If i had to go down the rest of the way i think i would have panicked. If i had tipped over i honestly think i would have drowned. I was scared beyone belief.

Looking back though i did it.
