short and sweet.

Life is wonderful. I am so blessed. God is so good. Enough said.

I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart.

So i just watched in her shoes and I once again feel in love with this poem by ee cummings

I carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

oh those summer how i missed thee

I dont think I will ever outgrow summer. There is something about it that just gets me. I love it. I love everything about it. People are different in the summer... call me crazy but I am convinced that there is something in the summer air that makes people walk with a jump to their step. I feel like we define our lives with summers. Its almost as if all the stuff that happens during the summer gets us through the year. After the tans are gone and the beach houses close... we have all those crazy memories to help us make it through the winter months. The thing is, its not always about the events... the parties... the trips. Sometimes ... more often than not.... its the company you are with ( as cheesy as that sounds) ... or the conversations ... the all nighters.... the midnight walks. Makes you feel so content and carefree.

And dont even get me started about summer nights. I would trade 50 winter days for 1 summer night. When the sun goes down... and the fireflies come out... possibility lingers in the air. Nothing else matters except that moment in time. I love wasting hours just staring up at the
stars and lounging on my hammock. feeling so small. nothing else matters expect for that moment. I love it.

Summer time and the living is easy...

the semester in review




I know it has been quite some time since I have written... and there have been numerous people who have been on my case about it ( you know who you are.) But life has been crazy... a whirlwind... actually more like a really good roller coaster. You know the kind I am talking about.
The kind that is smack dab in the middle of an amusement park but you work your way around it, going on every other ride within a 100 yard radius before you summit yourself to it. As you sit down and pull the awkward thing down over your head, you are filled with anticipation. Then you slowly begin to roll to a start and up the first huge hill. At the top of the hill and you have a clear birds eye view of everything going on down below you.... BAM all of the sudden you find yourself racing down towards the ground but then before you know it you are flying up again and then you are twisting and turning and when you least expect it you are flipping upside down. Then all of the sudden you are done and its over and you have no idea what just happen and which way is up but all you do know is that you are laughing.

This has pretty much been my life this semester. Ups and downs and oh so many surprises. Its been crazy. Stressful at times... shocking at times... wonderful at times... hilarious at times... but hey that is life and if I have learned anything it would be that you just have to roll with the punches.
