summer....please....

i miss lightning and lightning bugs.

A little bit of gardening.....

Today was a beautiful day. I looked at my poor plants and realized they needed a new home. Their roots have outgrown their pots.

A tribute to David James Harris...

I don't think there's anyone else in the world I love more than this boy. Sometimes I feel physical pain because I miss him and he is so far away....

Birthday success....

I had an amazing birthday. Thanks everyone for being such fun people.

Top five moments from my party....in ranking order:


5. When Aaron asked,"Is this party exactly what you wished for your birthday?", and me realizing the answer was yes.
4. Pulling out of the moment and looking down on all my friends dancing so intensely with out a care in the world. Notably Meagan Mason, Bubba, and Chris Chapin.
3. Watching Chris and Aaron free style rapping AND dancing to Dancing Queen.
2. Rachel and Haley
1. When Zach Rupp and Rachel Sommer sang Dream Lover by Mariah Carey....i'm not lying.








This is what will happen if you pass out at my party....

Nursing exams and Cloud Cult....

I finished my first week of nursing school. It's pretty intense, I kinda expected that though. Please note my GIANT stack of books. That's not even all of them. And I have to carry them around all day. Tuesdays are the worst because it's about 7 hours of lecture....sick. I love Wednesdays and Thursdays because it's when we get to do lab work and I get to wear scrubs all day. Every Thursday we have an exam. It's a pass or fail type of deal and I passed this week. You're allowed to retest twice, but after that you're kicked out. Like I told my new friend Ky.....it's easy, you just can't fuck up. That really explains it all. Speaking of my new friend Ky. We are the perfect team. I think we're the slacker/bad kids of our class. He doesn't know it yet, but we are best friends.

Also I've been listening to Cloud Cults new album The Ghost inside Our House the past two weeks and it's AMAZING!!! I don't think it officially comes out until next week, but you might be able to find it. They're coming to town next month and I am extremely excited. They are definitely in my top 5. The cure. Depeche Mode. The Frames. Cloud Cult. The fifth spot is always rotating. Right now I think it's pre-Fidelity Regina Spektor. My birthday was last week. I tried not to celebrate it because my party is tomorrow, but my friends tricked me and we celebrated it on my actual birthday....it was great and I can't wait for tomorrow. If you're reading this you're invited to my party. As a side note, maybe you forgot about my love for hockey....I know I kinda did. Haley and I went to a game this week and the Thunderbirds made it to the play offs!!!
