Thanksgiving 2015 | It's Bekka

On the way to Vegas!

Long time no see, I hope you all had a lovely thanksgiving if you celebrate it, and a festive start to the holiday season!! I'm writing to you from 39,000 feet above sea level and am embarking the journey from Las Vegas, Nevada back home to Denver. This last week has been nothing short of an adventure. Between the late nights looking at the beautiful full moon, to the early mornings watching the sunrise, and everything in between. And I have loved every second of it!! 

This picture was taken right outside my
grandma's back yard, in the middle of the desert,
I was surrounded by cacti and beautiful read rocks
a little piece of dry, dusty heaven. 

While in Arizona I met one of the most interesting yet a annoying boys I have come across. His name is Andrew, he lives with his grandparents just down the street from October 3rd (trust me I told him about the Mean Girls reference!!) and he had this very mysterious vibe to him. Well as some of you guys know this mysterious vibe in boys is nothing new to me. Now keep in mind I didn't want to date him, oh hell no!! I first saw him with my grandma when they picked me up at the airport, I found them both at baggage claim and he was looking down at his phone, (and at this point he looked significantly younger than me not 4 years older!!) and the drive back home we talked the whole way.
where I was staying with my grandma. With short black hair and a fuckboy wardrobe, he was quite the character. We spent a lot of time together, playing video games, going on walks and just talking. He's 18, born on

He told me about how after he graduated he moved to Bullhead City, and has lived there ever since. I found him a very different person than I am, as he didn't seem to have a distinct plan for his future, and was not concerned about his lack of a plan. Now don't get me wrong this is not s bad thing, but the people I tend to surround myself with have huge dreams of going to MIT and Stanford right out of high school. We talked about dumb stuff like what our favorite colors and foods are, and I told him about my girlfriend. He seemed very shocked! Similarly to how I hadn't met someone who didn't have a plan for the future, he had never seen a lesbian!! Over the course of the week we spent a lot of time together, talked about sex and depression, the deep stuff. I think today he was harder to leave than my grandma, because we have grown close over the last week, and he drives me crazy, like a brother, but at the same time I love him like a brother. 

Thanksgiving Dinner

Now for most this is not an accomplishment, but to me it seems pretty significant. Up until this week, I have flown before but my mom or grandma has walked to me to the gate, and picked me up there. Now my mom still brought me to the gate in Denver, but my grandma was not as motivated to get through security and navigate the airport with her old lady walker. So me being myself, I had headphones in and walked all the way down to baggage claim to meet her. And the best part? I only got lost twice!! Then flying back this morning, Andrew and his grandfather helped me check my bags and then we said our goodbyes and my, myself and I took the boarding pass and my ID and breezed through security, grabbed a Starbucks and plopped down at the gate with my bags to wait to board. I find it fun that no one questions me when I'm a freshman walking through the airport all by myself. Maybe it's because I looked like I has everything under control, (not gonna lie I was having a mini panic attack on the inside.) But then I began writing to you guys, I know there are only 6-7 people who read each of my blog posts, but writing is therapeutic for me, so thanks you 6 people, it really and truly means a lot to me!!!

I think I will do another blog post on all the lovely things I picked up while on my trip but for this post this will be all, I'm going to leave you with a picture I took while on the flight back home. I don't know about you but I love how the clouds look from about, because you don't get the nasty glare from the sun in your pictures!! Till next time xx
