it's hard to articulate how i feel about being here. i love it with every single particle of my being, no matter how miserable i may sometimes seem (be?). i love that when i drive over the hill i can see the ocean and that all of the bunnies are growing up into independent little creatures. i love that two of my best buddies are never much more than a holler away. i love being able to turn on the light in the shower on my first try. i love being in school. i love the protection that being in school offers. my only concerns are due dates and how to make my allowance last the rest of the month. let's not kid ourselves, i am spoiled. but i liiiike it. i want more of it.
aha! who am i kidding? i am going to move back in with my parents and my mom will cook me dinner and fold my laundry when i forget it in the dryer. my dad will slip us $20 to buy frozen yogurts or movie tickets without us even asking. i will jump on my sisters beds in the morning and sneak attack my puppies with all of the kisses i have. there are those things too. this afternoon i told my mom that i hope to get into kelowna fairly early on tuesday so that i can get some suntanning in.
really, who cares? kelowna will be great because i want it to be great. but it's important that i remember and appreciate being here. i have learned a lot, experienced a lot (!!!), played a lot, stressed out a lot, and been continually amazed at how my life is going.
it is going very, very well.
i will miss you. i hope you all have spectacular summers of love. suntans and slurpees and hands to hold. yes please.
