Desiree Chandler - Online Memorial Website

there was this time desi and all her friends wanted to go camping. It was Cheyenne gray, Ashley willet, Gracie merino, cece frias-Ramirez, desi, and me, Jamie. 
Cheyenne and I decided we would meet them there and we got all of the stuff one would need for a night in the wild and hen some
But our friends on the other hand..  
 Must've never camped a day in their life. 
We pulled up in cheyennes tiny little 'literally lime green' eco friendly looking car packed to the roof with just.. so much shit... to a bunch of girls sitting in chairs around a blanket, a stump of wood, and a hammer. (Hahahahhahahahahaaa!!)
We brought pizza and they were like oh my god we're so hungry and I was like... I'm so confused screw pizza what the hell is going on lol.
We had smores,  hot dogs, a grill, lighter fluid and lighters, toilet paper, blankets, pillows, a tent, floaties, trash bags, tables, plates&utensils, condiments, flashlights... everything. 
&We had the best time.
We felt free and away from our parents and we had deep conversations and we grew closer all the time but especially when we did things together like that. 
Telephone cove on Nevada side, swam out to the island in the middle, an amphibious car (I'm not sure if thats the right term and I'm not taking this up with google..)
that drove on land and water so happened to come by and we went out in two groups and got to experience that. It was all nice. 
and the next day we stayed in to the late afternoon til everyone was over it. 
And we all packed up together and left.

i forgot to mention Ashley brought her big sandy dog on the trip with us too.
So it was official. 
The whole gang and mans best friend."wooo
 

Incase i get alzheimer's disease, I want to write this down... this is a memory I never want to forget. Ever.
So, summer 2010 was the best summer.
Even when everything went wrong, we still all rolled along.
In this memory of a thousand: Cheyenne Gray, Jamie Lambert, Gracie Merino, Desiree' Chandler, Ashley Willet, Anthony Hood and Steven Kennicot.
We planned in the middle of our summer break, to go on a float from the chamber of commerce to Circle Beach. A good 8 hour float. Or more.
Floating down the river is a struggle when your with a bunch of lazys and noones helpin to get to the middle of the river.
Everyone had their own floaty, and me an cheyenne were on a blow up bed. Her&I kicked to the other side of the river where there wasnt any whirlpools, and desi and all them were supposed to come to the other side too.
Next thing we knew me and cheyenne were going through a channel and when we came out we didnt see our friends on the other side of the river. What we did see was this group that stopped over on  the side of the river and another group floating further in front of us. we thought that was them. We caught up. & it wasn't
We stopped at lazy harrys. and got water. Miserable. It had been 2 hours without our friends and these guys at lazy harrys were giving us a sketch vibe, our friends were literally NO WHERE.
We floated further. and stopped at the soccer fields
for four hours we werent with eachother and so Cheyenne and I were really afraid something was wrong.
We were exhausted and tiredddd. Cheyenne passes out on the blow up bed in the grass.
There was this guy there being mean to his two dogs...
I toook off running up the side of the river on this trail never stopping, because if i stopped my feet would burnnn. & so i made the most out of the shady spots.
I finally stopped and it was almost sunset. I stood in one spot till my feet were numb looking at the horizon of the river bend.
Finally I saw little black shilloutes dots come from the bend.
they were sooo far away.
I ran down to a little beach and waited
And screamed desis name loud until i heard ashley and her calling back if it was me.
They thought we died ha.
I ran into the water and body floated to cheyenne with desi.
It felt bomb,
When cheyenne saw us she was confused and like "what the hell"
she thought the guy with the mean dogs took me.
haha.
We all got on our rafts and started paddling to the avi with the current thats how bad we wanted to get out of the river
We were a group of cold, exhausted, miserable kids.
ash& steven in a raft. Anthony in his own. Me&cheyenne on one. Desi & gracie on another.
Anthony was furthest ahead. Then me&cheyenne. Then ash and steven... and gracie and desi were far behind. It was funny.
They asked a boat to help them and the rope ended up sucking up into the propeller and they floated past the boat who was now broke down.
hahha, calis.
Sun was almost down at that point and we werent even to the avi yet!
and we still had a few more hours to go to circle... way more then a few actually.
We said screw thattt! Our ankles were hurting. It was Night time now!
We started crawling up the rocky nevada side of the river and decided to just walk to the avi. ashley peed in stevens boat it was so cold, so they crawled up to.
and desi and gracies floaty popped so they had to crawl up also.
Anthony floated to circle alone in the night to his car down at circle beach, He had my life jacket and a tire floaty.
When it was just us girls and steven we took our tops off and triangle shapes over our boobs glowed in the dark against our burnt skin. ha.
and steven didnt care he was so over the day, and... we didn't either.
We got to the avi and when we all called our parents they were all sad scared and PISSED. my mom called search and rescue. ha.
We ran into darrah out of nowhere!
who was checking out of the avi at random.
my dad came and got me
desis mom came and got all them
and the next weekend we went floating again behind our parents backs
Gracies mom called her right before: Your not going floating right?Gracie blowing up inertube between every breath
"No" *blow* "mom" *Blow* "we aren't going floating" *Blow*
