Last night my boyfriend came over for dinner and hang out time.
It was good. We went for a walk and I was able to talk with him about all the stresses I was feeling this week - friends who don't actually value my friendship, friends going through break ups, etc. Being able to get that out was so theraputic.
Yeah, I have my family. And yeah, I have other friends I can talk about it with. But talking with him and having him tell me it's ok and that I'm ok, that was perfect. I think it's part of that bonding between individuals.
Yes, kissing and hand holding is great. Yes, goofing off is great too. But being able to have conversations - about anything - is wonderful. That's the beauty of where we started. We started as friends, and we will always be friends. We are boyfriend/girlfriend, and at some point we're probably going to be husband/wife, but we will always be friends.
And I wouldn't trade that for anything.

Sunny Days
It's really hot here.
The sun is up, the sky is hazy, and the temps are around the 80's and 90's. I personally like more of a breeze myself, but that's just me.
Still, summer is welcoming me with open arms it seems. At this rate, I might actually get a slight tan before it's all said and done.
My sister is sick again. There is nothing worse than being sick during the summer. Add trouble sleeping and coughing to already hot weather, and it's just asking for discomfort. I feel for her.
My mom too, actually. She's also fighting something. Both of them are just trying to rest as much as they can. Which is good. They both need to get well.
I don't want to catch it. That would suck.
I hope your Tuesday is going well, dear readers. Enjoy your summer day!

Life.
It's sad.
There's a woman I know up at church who is just fantastic. She's got kids and grandkids, but refuses to grow up. She's spunky, sweet, funny, and always up beat. A little outspoken too, which just adds to her awesomeness in my opinion. She takes everyone under her wing, listens to your problems, and offers the right advice at the right time. We all love her.
Her husband is dying from cancer.
They've done all they can do for him. It started as throat cancer and then tumors in his hips showed up. He's got three to six months left before he goes home.
And yet, even while this news is staring her down, this woman is still up beat and in good spirits.
I can not imagine.
Now that I've met the boy I want to spend the rest of my life with, I can not imagine not having him around. Never hearing his laugh or his off the wall puns. Never having him hold my hand as we walk together. Never being able to talk to him at night to share the highs and lows of our days.
Death is something that I know must come. It is a fact of life. We do not live forever, at least not in our physical form. Before, when someone's spouse was dying, I felt sad for the person. But I never really understood what they must be going through. Now that I have someone in my life, I think I have a better understanding.
I am amazed that she is not drowning in this. Completely amazed. Because I would be a basket case.
That is how amazing this woman is. She is not overtly sad or upset because her faith is strong and she knows that her husband is going to a better place. She is truly amazing.
I would be a wreck.
Please, dear readers, whatever your faith is, pray for this woman and her family. Let her strength stay and her faith become stronger.

The Value of Reading Signs
So, today was my sister's party.
We had a lot of people over to help her celebrate her awesome finish to high school, the fun time of turning 18, and her amazing black belt. There was food, friends, laughter, and a lot of love to spread around.
One of the people to come over was my boyfriend. Now, after a while at the party, it got very loud and crowded. So he and I decided to go outside for some down time. We ended up laying in the grass, me soaking up sun while he tried to figure out the cards in the deck of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards he got me.
(That's a story for another time.)
We then went back outside to watch the sunset (in the grass) after the party and after my sister had opened her gifts.
Upon returning, we learned from my mom that there were signs up everywhere, telling residents to stay off the grass. Apparently the ground was saturated with pesticide.
(Naturally, I felt itchy after this revelation.)
After my boyfriend left, I showered. He let me know when he got home, where he also showered. I'm still not convinced I'm not going to be poisoned.
And to think. This could have all been avoided had we just read the yellow signs.
Word to the wise, dear readers. Always read the signs.

Who's Wearing a Scarf in June?
This girl.
That's ok, though. Scarves are totally in Vogue right now.
Right?
Oh geez, I really hope so...

Busy Day
But it's going to be a fun day.
The first thing I get to do is hang out with one of my friends who I haven't seen since Christmas. We're going to go shopping to find her a dress for her cousin's wedding, get lunch, and catch up. It's been forever, and this is long over due.
The reason it's been so long is because she goes to school out in California. Well, she did. She just graduated and is spending the summer here at home until August. Then she's moving to the east coast with her boyfriend.
It's amazing how time passes and how we all grow. I'm happy for her. I know he takes good care of her and that they are happy together. So it's a good thing.
But still. A part of me will miss her.
Then tonight I get to go on date night with my sweet boyfriend. We're going to go to dinner, see a movie, and just enjoy each other's company. I love him and I love being around him. I can let my guard down and be myself without worrying about what he thinks.
Date night is another thing that is over due. We had plans to hang out on Monday, but he ended up catching a nasty stomach virus that left him down and out for a few days. Not good. I was worried about him; severe stomach pains can be serious.
Thankfully it wasn't. And now we get to have our night because he's feeling so much better.
I think that about sums up what fun things lay in store for me today. I hope you guys have a great Thursday!

June Already?
Wow.
May just flew by. Anyone else feel that way about it? It's like it was there one minute, then gone the next. Crazy.
Not that I'm complaining. I really enjoyed the month of May. It was a great month here. School got out, I got a great boyfriend and fell head over heels, my sister graduated high school, then she got her black belt, and then she turned 18.
Busy but good.
I'm looking forward to June. I'm going to be teaching a class of 6 or 7 year olds at VBS, my sister is having her graduation party, my friends and I are hanging out, and I get to spend plenty of time with my boyfriend. It's great.
So summer has turned out to be quite good so far. Even without a job.
Let's hope it stays that way.
Enjoy the start of June, dear readers.
