wow time flies

i can't believe it's been so long since i last posted anything! life can change so fast and by the time you catch up.. it's hard to recognize that it's yours. lately i've been trying to take stock of the blessings God's granted, the turmoil that exists, and the reality of who i am. i decided to go back to school with some divine prodding... and i am happy. also, it's been 7 years since i graduated from high school, 3 since i've graduated from college.. and lately i've been daydreaming of those friendships that have slipped just beyond my fingertips. how do you salvage those? or do you? do you remember the good times and count them as a closed chapter? or do you run kicking and screaming back to them in hopes they will recognize you? i haven't decided yet. right now i'm just thanking God that i had the chance to know them in the first place. with that said.... i shout out a blessing for Cole and Ash... Cole, who befriended me the first day of school freshman year and was always fun and willing to play squirrel with Adam on the way home.. and Ash who always had a smile on her face and a laugh to die for! Congratulations on your marriage you two! it's about time! :)

Summer's coming

the sun really got me thinking today. what is it about summer that is so inspiring? is it the fact that after 8 long months of winter everyone's coming out of their funk? or is there really something about summer that makes people sing. dance. write. create? i have many images in my head needing a canvas, a media. Someone to take the time.. create the mood. i think this summer is going to be a good one.

also, i thought i'd post a picture of my pillar. he's the chug to my hardcore. the jelly to my sunbutter. and the man to my mansion... love you.
