Oh man I'm excited! I felt the need to write a blog about how much summer excites me. I was moping a little bit yesterday because I was realizing that I start my summer classes in a couple days, but then....after getting off work last night... the blast of cool, yet somehow warm, summer air beckoned me to come out. You have no idea how awful it is in the winter to leave work at 11:30 or later and get a slap in the face from the very cold air; which makes it all the more wonderful now that summer has finally come.
More summer things.
I love my nails painted orange. Silly I know, but it makes me happy...it makes me smile.
I took a walk on the beach with my best friend Sunday, laughed really hard at the kids and their parents, all freaking out because no one is used to being on the beach yet. Everyone's in their bathing suits, but no one is going in because the water is freezing. I got a sunburn on my shoulders; something I was trying to avoid this summer (because burning is so bad for your skin), but somehow, it feels more like summer with those red-brown, somewhat tender spots on my shoulders.
We also visited the spot she's getting married at in September. It's this beautiful rustic area with trees we need to figure out to make use of. They didn't really think very well when they made the seats because an entire row is unable to see in front of them, because of a tree. lol. It was so much fun. Kind of felt like a was a little girl, planning away. Only to be constantly brought to the realization that this was real life and we were planning a real event.
It's not scary any more, it's fun. Even though it is a symbol of childhood being over, thinking and talking about weddings and such brings into memory of how we felt about it, planning it so long ago. So in a way, childhood is not totally lost.
First trip to the beach is always a memorable day.
Driving top down is my favorite, and not because I feel cool or anything ridiculous like that. I love the sun beating down, I love the wind, even when it blows my hair in every direction leaving me with knots. I love especially at night, it's so calm and relaxing.
I've been waking up in the morning and spending a couple hours tearing through books I've been planning on reading since spring break. I love waking up to the sun shining.
There's some uncertainty that comes with summer. Particulary the month of June. It's soo busy, so so busy. I want to be able to focus and not get caught up in the rapid speed of everything. I want to lead well.
--Hey now this is my desire, consume me like a fire until I become something beautiful --
Summer is so good. Jesus is better.
