The Last Time I Did Something For The First Time

One of the things that I did for the first time was go zip-lining. My family went on vacation to Louisville, Kentucky to hang out with one of my sister's friends who had moved. We did other stuff too, but I will always remember when we went zip-lining. When people think of zip-lining they think about going over a river or forest. The one I went to was in a cave. We could of went to one outside, but I think my mom might've been to scared. We were zip-lining over complete darkness, which I think made it more excited. You couldn't tell want was under you, the only thing you could see was the guide at the other end waiting for you.

Another time I did something for the first time was not to long ago. It was actually this Christmas. We usually decorate the tree we get with tons of homemade ornaments from when my sister and I were little. This year, we got the tree like we always do, decorated it was some lights, and waited for my mom to get up and help decorate. Since my mom had to work a lot of over time this holiday, we weren't able to decorate the tree. My family figured that it wouldn't be the same without all of us decorating the tree all together, so that Christmas the tree only had a few lights on it. I have to say, I kind of missed not having any ornaments on the tree, but I didn't miss packing them up either.

One of the things I will never forget is getting a my great dane for the first time. I mean sure, I had a lot of dogs in life since I was a baby, but none of them could compare to my Ellie. She's huge, so it's hard to sleep with her, but she does act as a great pillow. I think that getting Ellie was the highlight of my year. The one reason why I won't forget her, is because of the first week I had her. You know how sometimes a dog will act over-protective of a new baby, that was me with my dog. The first week I never left her side, I slept when she slept and I was up when she was. Since she was very playful, my day was play, sleep, play, sleep, and so on. In the end, I never really did mind taking care of her. She was my baby, and still is.
