Spring Break Series: It's Compton Time! Saturday

Saturday Saturday Saturday!
Well, on Saturday, we went just about everywhere! We drove around the area, just going to adventurous, fun, and pretty places!:D It was really nice! At first, Noah suggested that we go to a SLAVE GRAVEYARD. We, are all about graveyards and cemeteries. We've been to a couple, but never a SLAVE graveyard! We went and parked our car in a parking lot, and then took a hike to find this randomly scattered sea of graves in the woods. It was really really interesting, to see all the 1800s death dates and sunken in graves and climb on the fallen over trees! It was very creepily cool!

After our adventure through the dead, we grabbed lunch at chickfila! He got a GIANT salad and I got chicken nuggets, and we were just the sweetest little sight ever! We personalized our drinking cups, but just a little:3

After that little spooky scene at the cemetery, we decided to take a drive through the mountains to a beautiful creek with a terribly dangerous bridge looming over it! It was a very beautiful spot, and we walked across the bridge a few times, looked over the gorgeousssssss scenery and just took a part of the day to be peaceful. After that, we headed over to a park that Noah and his mother used to catch tadpoles at (which I thought was the sweeeeetest thing EVER! So we had to go.. hehe) and once we were there, we took a walk in the woods and followed the little creek that was home to a super big family of tadpoles! It was very cute of us! Then, we just headed home! After all, the first ever FIRST SATURDAY was being held in Noah's hometown so we went to that for about five minutes and then headed to the mall for a date consisting of pizza, cookies, a movie, and..... a unexpected surprise..

We got to the mall and entered through the food court, where I had the very best pizza for dinner with Noah! After eating, we walked through the mall, and Noah showed me all the stores and places that dwelt there. While we were walking, we passed a lot of really sketchy groups of punks. One guy, from one group we passed, had passed us, but then turned around and ran after Noah! He stopped us and asked Noah if he knew him, and said that he looked familiar. They got to talking and the guy was practically begging him to be his drummer for his band. It, was definitely a rock star moment for the little angelface :D It was way random, so random, it was humorous! Haha! After that, I wanted to buy my little musician a cookie :3 so we waited in line for like, 45 minutes for two cookies, because we still had a long time until our movie started. Now, heh. To explain what happened in the theater..

We got to the theater, and Noah introduced me to everyone he me to meet, and then we went into the theater for The Hunger Games! I hadn't seen it, so I was very, verrryyy excited to be seeing it with my sweetheart! I had started to feel sick the very minute we sat down. That wasn't good.. I had been feeling a bit sickish the entire day, but it was nothing to pay attention to, until halfway through the movie.. The movie started, and I was just feeling terrible, but I really didn't want to ruin our date, so I just tried to forget about it and let it go away on its own. Unfortunately, it didn't. I didn't even want to tell Noah about me feeling sick, because he would then worry and be so sweet without even trying. I just didn't want to be cause of anything to go wrong. I told Noah after about, a little over an hour after the start of the movie. We waited a little bit more to see if I would feel better, but I didn't. Noah asked me if we needed to go home, and even though it took ten minutes for Noah to convince me it was okay if we had to go home, I didn't want to. In the movie, it had just been the scene where they all start violently battering and slaughtering each other to death. Scenes like that make me sick enough, and so that was what really pushed me over the edge. We could leave then. The minute we got up, so did my dinner. We were walking out of the theater, and I started throwing up in my hands.

Noah, handling this extremely disgusting situation very well, rushed me to a family bathroom were I just fell to the floor (nasty bathroom floors..) and kept throwing up in the toilet. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life. I just kneeled there, leaning over the toilet, and calling  "Noah, I neeeed you! Noooaaah! I need your help! Noooahhh please come in!" and it took a little while for Noah to use his instincts (he didn't hear me, we just have crystal clear telepathy. Seriously.) So, yeah. It was a strange situation. I said, "Noah I just need to get my hands clean, then I can function." So I scooted on my knees over to the sink and Noah then started wiping and washing off the vomit from my hands. Oh. MY GOSH. Can you say the absolute SWEETEST BOYFRIEND? He got me all cleaned up, as I was just shaking over the sink. I think he was a little traumatized after all that had happened. So he helped me stand up, and he went to stand at the other side of the room. Haha, I don't blame him at ALL though. I was a mess. I grabbed some napkins to wipe off the makeup that went streaming down my face, because, throwing up hurts, and makes me cry. Haha, I cleaned my face, and felt really dizzy, and still really sick. The theater was still open at this time of night, but the mall wasn't so we had to walk from the theater parking lot to the mall lot. I was dizzy, so I held on to Noah and he carried my bag. My goodness. Such, suuucchhh a gentleman. We got outside and he helped me walk steadily to the car sooo far away. We finally got to the car, and we had a few jackets in the back seat and I made a bed out of them and laid down for the ride home. While driving home, Noah kept me calm and was softly talking to me and updating me on how far away we were from being home and reached back a few times to hold my hand. It was so precious. He > me. Totally, haha. We got home, and he helped me up the stairs to the porch and we went inside. Guys, I've never been so HAPPY and THANKFUL to brush my teeth. It was killing me. I'm all about clean teeth. He told his mom what had happened and she came in to where I was to check on me and we compared our characteristics of being sick.

I felt so guilty about ruining our movie, so I suggested we watch a movie in the living room and we did. We watched The Others. Sydney and Jon went to Taco Bell around midnight and brought back some snacks for Noah. I fed them to him, and it was cute!:D The night was still great, with just a road block of vomit in the way. Ewww.

Have you ever heard of a more noble boyfriend? I just can't, to this day, get over how sweet Noah was in the situation. It literally amazed me. The day had been so so fun, and I truly did enjoy my last full day with my sweet prince Noah and the Compton Clan. <3

The Spring Break Series: It's Compton Time! Friday

Heyyyyooo. Friday!
The schools there were out of school on Friday so, that means, nooo seminary!:D
We got up at around, eh, I can't remember how early/late we woke up. But, we woke up, got ourselves so cutely dressed, oh yeah. One thing that is no natural, for me and Noah is that we wear clothes that match.. without even coordinating it. Like, it happens every day we are together, and I am in love with that factor of fashion, haha! We ended up wearing a matching rustic orange together. Well, you'll see right here..

See the cute orange? Oh, of course you do! C: Well, this picture is taken at Noccalula Falls! Noah took me there in the morning/afternoon! It was a BEAUTIFUL state park! There was a cute little train that toured the entire area with little stops at attractions and things to do. We rode the train and got off to walk through rocks that were under the landscaping! It was soooo cool, literally, down there! We must have been feeling adventurous, because of our skinniness, we unintentionally veered off the walkway and basically squeezed through the natural rocks and climbed up them and jumped around one from another, and then came to the conclusion we were no longer on the path! Haha, it was very very fun! We then climbed out from the rocks under ground level, and walked straight into the sun. Noah and I shun the sun, so we scurried to a shaded swing and sat and snapped some sweet pictures (holy goodness. Such an alliteration..^):

Hide and Seek is our jam^

After the swinging, we reached a dying excuse for a flower garden and walked around admiring what would be flowers, but only dandelions grew. In all honesty, flowers may be prettier, but there really is no other feeling than blowing the seeds of a dandelion all over the environment! Reproduction is the first degree! We then headed over the see the waterfall! We had to get to a bridge that required us driving to another parking lot! It was well worth the forty five second drive, and it was such a beautiful bridge! Once we made a few wished, took a few pictures, and even were asked if a guy could take our picture, we stopped for ice cream and drove to the shady parking lot of his church building right down the road. It was such a sweet memory!

From far away, by the way.^

At the top of the falls, on the bridge!^

Noah and I just can't get enough adventure. We went back home, and Noah's house is right next to an abandoned and creepy old school. It's pretty damaged inside. Floors have fallen through, ceilings have caved in, and there is just, so much to be explored and trespassed!:D So, Noah lives on a hill and the school is behind his house down at the bottom of the hill. We make our way down the hill, and try to look for a hole in the chain link fence around the school! What do ya know, we found one!:D We jumped the fence, and made a mad dash to a hidden door on the inside of a courtyard (Noah claims to have discovered the entrance, but whatever;)) We get inside, and find the floor to have "fallen through" on both sides of the entrance. The right side, had completely fallen through, I will admit, but the left had only a little floor left, sorta, standing. Noah didn't think we could make it, so we went back home to go get Sadie and her boyfriend Denzell, but we ended up getting Noah's best friend Nik to come back with us. Noah and Nik have explored every room in this freakish school. We go to the entrance I had found earlier;) and took the left way, which was very jumpable. We were guided by Nik to the auditorium, which was a pretttty cool room! We pretended to preform in front of all the graffiti in the room, which was a pretty huge audience.. haha! I then found a way to get to the basement from some stairs (stairs that I came close to falling over the banister of) Nik tried to scare us, but it didn't work. (I was plenty terrified without Nik and Noah's efforts, heh.) We went down to the basement where it was absolutely disgusting. I cared more about my cute shoes than what the basement had to offer. Noah suggested we go up to the attic, based off of a past experience that he and Nik had once. We climbed up very rickety stairs and the attic had all been destroyed except for these little planks of wood holding the frame of the roof up. Of course, we walked the planks all over the place. It was pretttttty creepy, and unsafe. We turned around after reaching a point int the attic where it was so dark, you weren't able to see your way even with your phone. As we were leaving the attic, we all witnessed a crashing sound that had came from the darkness. I looked back to find Noah and Nik's faces frightened. This was no joke, I thought. Nik screamed to run run run! So, that's what we did. We.... RAN. FASTTTT. We made it out of the building alive, thank goodness, made our mad way back to the outside world, and jumped the fence like a trio of kangaroos. We were safe on the hill and started for the house, talking about the crash we had heard in the attic. It, was scary terrib..spooky terrifying.

By this time of the day, First Friday was soon to start. Noah, Nik, and I jumped in the car and headed out. Noah and I walked around in a giant circle, trying to hide from every typical, weird, creepy, or dumb looking person we saw. We actually had a great time!! We then met up with the rest of Noah's friends and decided that it was time to go build a fire in Noah's backyard and roast marshmallows. We three kangaroos hopped in the car and drove to walmart where we debated which marshmallows to purchase. There was a generic brand for 26 cents cheaper, and the Jet-Puff brand. We ended off basing our decision off of the ingredients (the exact same down the to last one) the nutritional facts (exact same), the ounce count (exactly the same down the the tenth) We ended up making our descion on where it was packaged. We chose the marshmallows from Idaho, because there are Mormons in Idaho, haha! I even think it was the more expensive ones..

We set built the fire in Noah's yard. Denzell decided it was a good idea to rip a bush out of the ground and set it on fire. Well. Yeah, that's what he did. About ten people congregated around our little fire and I met Noah's oldest sister Carlie! Her and her husband were down from Birmingham for the weekend and it was such a delight to meet them!

After that, Noah and I went inside with all of the Compton children that had congregated in conversation. Noah tried to prove to his oldest brother Cameron that he could download the full version of Logic Pro 9 (which he did!) So proud of him :,D. The day winded down, and if I do say so myself, it was SUCH. a FUN. DAY! :D One of my favorite days ever with Noah Giles Compton! <3

The Spring Break Series: It's Compton Time! Thursday

It's time to tell the tales of Thursday!
Noah woke up for seminary, woke up Sadie, and left me! He didn't want me to have to get up, so he just quietly slipped away when I was still fast asleep. I woke up as he was closing my door, but knowing me and my seriously confused state that I'm in for the first 15 minutes I'm "awake" for, I didn't know what was happening and went back down. He came home, took a nap, and went to the store and bought us pop tarts for breakfast! All before my wake at 9 AM! My hero!

In the morning, we watched movies. We watched The Uninvited, which is crazy, outrageous, confus SERIOUSLY MIND BLOWING movie of confusion. Haha, but none the less, it was a great movie! After we lounged around, I met some of the constant pack of friends that are always arriving at Noah's house. Noah and I then took a walk down the road but to our surprise, Sydney and Jon's puppy, Dobby, had followed us outside. He started trotting down the road and would not obey Noah's commands to come back! We ended up on a precious puppy chase that resulted in us having to call Jon and tell him to drive to where we were and pick up his naughty Dobby. We obviously caught a ride back home with them because we were a long ways, sorta, from the house. It was an adventure :D

Then we invited all of Noah's friends out to dinner at Chili's with us! So we took showers, got extra cute, and headed to Chili's with his friends Auguste (cousin), Guy, Dakota, Keaton (cousin), and Kyle. It was a very funny dinner indeed, and we were the loudest and largest group in the restaurant! I ordered a Caesar salad, and Noah ordered a fantassstic pasta of some sort. It was wonderfully delicious on both of our choices. We then went back home, and watched either Ghost Adventures or The Walking Dead. I can't remember. I just know that the TV was turned on always at night to either one or the other of those two shows. It was another amaaaazing day for me and Noah, the cutest and sweetest person in the universe!! C:

Spring Break Series: It's Compton Time! Tuesday & Wednesday

WELL HELLO. This past week was my Spring Break, and I can easily and honestly say that this is the BEST BY FAAAAR Spring Break I've EVER lived! And probably will EVER live. I was very incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to stay at Noah's house with the rest of the Compton Clan. I will post one blog for each day that I spent there, but I'm combining Tuesday night (when I first arrived) and Wednesday, the first full day I spent in Alabama, into one post. Here goes.. EVERYTHING! :D

OKAY! I was first given away by my father at around 7:30PM Tuesday night. One of my favorite things, if not, my absolute favorite thing, about seeing Noah, is the first hug we share. Ya know, the happy love movie scene kinda hugs where two lovers just kinda see each other and splatter themselves all over the other person out of pure excitement to be in the each other's presence? Well yeah, multiply that times a number too big for you, and that's what me and Noah's first hugs feel like.

I go with Noah, his mother, and his sister Sadie back to Alabama with them, stop for dinner, obviously too nervous too eat, for I am a shy and awkward little girl around new people (talking about the family that I haven't met, but will soon meet later that night). Sitting in the backseat of Noah's mother's minivan, as we approached closer and closer to his house, my anxious and nervous grip on Noah's hands grew tighter and tighter. We reached his house safely, and when I walked in, The Walking Dead was playing on the TV, and Noah's older sister Sydney and her fiance Jon and Noah's older brother Alex might have been watching, too. (It was a dark room, don't judge.) I walked in hurriedly, hoping not to be noticed, for I may have something embarrassing about me, well, I always do.. I'm Cindy, haha. But everyone turned around and acknowledged my being there and all said hello and asked me if I like The Walking Dead. I was home, haha. Looove that show! Anyways, I was given the tour of the house by my cute little tour guide rolling my bags to Sadie's room, who I would be sleeping with for the next five nights. Noah and I then joined the party and watched TV in the family room with everyone after I had met more family members that had been scattered about the house. It had been such an exciting night that we went to bed around midnight, because we had seminary in the morning. Yes, I love Noah that much. I wanted to spend every minute that he was awake by his side, so I joined him for seminary in the morning!
After seminary, we came home only to get right back in the car to go get Captain Crunch, my favorite cereal, before we took a family trip to Mount Cheahaw! This trip, was sooooo fun. I had such a fun time seeing such a beautiful place so close to where I had slept that night!

We got in the car and drove up to a trail about an hour away in the mountain. There was a little hiking trail, less than a mile up to a beautiful waterfall with a swimming hole you can jump into and little pools of water to play in. This was such a fun experience and so so neat to see! I had never enjoyed myself so much in freezing water! (Even though me and Noah just splashed around with our feet in the water.)

On our merry little way!

By Cassidy Compton^

After we were all tuckered out from jumping and splashing and burning, we hiked back down the mountain for a little picnic which was absolutely perfect as we sat around and told funny stories of crazy relatives and awkward moments. Brother Compton even flicked a few bugs in Sadie's direction to get the place hoppin'. Haha :D We then drove our little selves home and took showers. Noah and I then went out for a little date to a frozen yogurt shop and a walk out at the Gadsden Docks! How romantic and yummy! After which we came home, and cuddled to some more walkers on Netflix with Sydney and Jon and whoever else was intrigued by flesh easting zombies and called it a night. The first full day to the happiest vacation of my life had taken place!
