summer blissss

hahah cheesy titles, my favorite. this summer has been perfect. SOO much sunshine, and so many visits with people that i love and have missed during the long school year. i need to start an online independent study course soon (aka now so i can finish before fall qtr starts when i will have 20 credits [kill me]) so i will be on track to graduate next spring but i am dreading it sooo much! it has felt so good to be completely free of responsibility & expenses for a month and a half (i start working again this week). working is a bonus, because i could really use the extra cash, with my bank account dwindling and especially with rent creeping on me slowly (due sept. 1st). regardless of alll of these upcoming deadlines, i cannot complain. i have not been this happy since long before i can remember, and i would not trade this for anything!

you know when you feel like there is a huge gaping void that you can't seem to fill? for once everything is completely perfect, and there is nothing that i could really ask for to make anything better. i never thought that i would be where i am at now a year ago, and i am SO grateful i have such amazing family & friends. i seriously love them all so much.

my plans for tomorrow (last day of freedom):
- wake up early
- go running
- clean room
- put clothes in laundry
- lake with tress (prime sun hours)
- seeing all of my favorite people!!!!


love & kisses
