Getting to the point rather quickly... Summer has been amazing so far.
From the day I was finished with the semester till the last day of May I got to really sincerely enjoy summer. It was how I've always wanted summer to be.
Each day consisted of Zack, Chase (his best friend since the age of 3 who has become a great friend of mine), Chris (another friend of the two) and Soph.
We rode bikes, made up funny games, played Ping Pong, stayed up 'too late' and slept in till noon time.
If it wasn't raining, we were outside.
Every night was a sleep over with my boy and when I wake up next to him, my heart smiles.
Despite everything we've been through, he makes me so happy.
Anyway :]
One of the funniest nights was when we went camping. It was only a one-nighter and consisted of the 4 of us plus Bobby (Zack's old roommate)... Oh, and Soph. As soon as we got up by Bogus we set up camp and built a fire. Bobby made the drinks and distributed them. Sophie was dying on her leash so I had a little faith and let her off. She was a good girl and stayed around camp... At some point she smelled something in a little whole. Being the terrior she is, she dug a 4-5 foot trench in the middle of camp! haha It was hilarious!
Chase brought small mallows to make smores with and damn it I was determined to make one! I went out and found myself a little twig to roast them on and while doing so the Rain God thought it would be funny to have a sudden down-pour upon us! That didn't stop me! While the guys rummaged around camp gathering stuff and flying into the biggest tent I tried to make one... and it didn't work only because of the tiny marshmallows!
We all ended up pretty wet from the storm but let the fire attempt to dry us out for a couple hours. Why is it so great to sit around a camp fire with your great friends? I think as of today it's one of my top ten, if not five, favorite things to do.
Tanner came to Boise to help me move back to I.F. I wasn't home 24 hours and we took off to Utah. We've been here a week and it's been so nice to see family again. Tomorrow we'll be headed back to home and reality.
Right now, reality isn't my best friend.
But I learn and go forward with life.
That's the thing about me... I'm the kind of person who has to do something and learn from it to actually change or make a habit. I can't just read the sign that says "Wet Paint" and go on with life. I have to touch the wet wall. So odd...
Here's a few pics from summer
Oh, reading list for summer:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass [Almost done with it!]
Everything by Donald Miller
That's all. But you should know there are about four books from Donald Miller to read!
