Mira Elisa came to visit me!

Mira and i have been friends since i was a sophomore in high school! we always talked about her coming to live with me after i moved away from Spain. obviously that didn't happen. the next best thing was her coming to visit me when her family made their trips to the US. this time it wasnt going to happen either- she was goin gto go and visit our other friend Carla. those plans fell through and she came to visit me instead! it was such a blast! we got to have our girl time, she got to meet everyone here in Thatcher, we stocked her up on so much american food. (im not even kidding there was so much food.)
the night before she left we spend all night long trying to get all of her purchases into her suitcases. juggling different weights between her 2 and a half bags was so hard! hahaha it makes me laugh to look back on though- only she could fill two giant bags with food. (:

there were a few highlights to her trip; the car accident, her going shooting, and commando!
the night we played commando things were going great until Mira decided to do a ninja dive for the ground and ripped open her knee! (it was already a huge scab. but there was so much blood.) so Josh picked her up and carried her home. from that point we bandaged her up and played a board game with everyone!

she was so excited at the prospect of shooting a gun! so my friend Dustin took her out one morning while i was in class! she loved it, the brought back pieces of the clay pigeons! everyone was so proud!

- side note-
everyone here loved her to death and they are still always asking me how shes doing. she fit right in here and everyone adopted her as their best friend too. shes just so dang lovable.

and last but not least was the car accident, in Elisa's words- "We ended with a bang"
and that we did. slammed right into the car in front of us. first wreck either of us had been in, i makes me laugh now that we were freaking out so much and poor Mira had almost no idea what was going on. just that i was pissed and scared and now owed a 200 dollar fine.
hahahaha i love Mira! i wish i could just keep her in my pocket. shes a little tall for that though.....
