summertime! (and i miss you)

i have discovered great virtues...

iced coffee is seriously the only thing i drink these summer days.
besides water, of course.

wet seal is the awesomest store ever. :) my soul sista and i went, and found more lovely things at wet seal than at heritage 1981, old navy, american eagle, forever 21, banana republic, h&m and urban outfitters together.

i went to the beach with a bunch of friends, and found myself listening to Skillet and the like, on the trip home, around midnight, because the driver of our bus would have fallen asleep otherwise. interesting music, Skillet...

Stepping Heavenward is the book I've found myself most thoroughly engrossed in so far, this summer. If you have not, you really ought to read it, especially if you are human and sinful...

i never used to think summer was so much fun! i used to be so in love with autumn and the falling leaves, falling rain, fall season, that i forgot to even notice the glorious things that summer could hold...

beautiful things all around me everywhere. i hope i can open my eyes to see them, and not dwell in the pain that threatens to undo me.

like...just how much i miss my soul sister.

we did have so much fun together for the five days that she was here! it makes me happy and sad at the same time to think about it.

this is me trying to focus more on the *happy* than on the sad: :)

this is me sort of not really succeeding with great satisfaction...
... :) ... :(

um...

this is a me that needs sleep...
zzzzzzzzz

Beka Conser has been here since last Thursday, and I have never been happier since I left Oregon, around 4 years ago.
She's leaving tomorrow, but I have determined not to think about it until she actually goes. Nevermind that there is just a huge ache hiding deep inside that is just waiting....

We have been looking at pictures of old times and happinesses. It's absolutely wonderful.

In short...

I MISS HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
