"In the summer of last year" -> " Last summer "

"About ten minutes after, ..." -> "About ten minutes later, ..." or "About ten minutes after that, ..."

Watch your tenses. You are mixing the present and past tenses in your narration:
"my mother and I went [past]..." but "my mother and Dan talk [present]..."
"When I met [past] her..." but "so I try [present]..." and "we talk [present] about..."

You should shorten the way you introduce people's names. Here are some possibilities:
"my uncle’s house, his name is Dan" -> "my uncle Dan's house"
"I ran into my ex-girlfriend and her name is Anna" -> "I ran into Anna, my ex-girlfriend"
"my new girlfriend and Sweet is her name" -> "my new girlfriend, named Sweet" (I added "named" because "Sweet" is a very unusual name)
