Hm....

If these are the worst things in my life.... than I must have it pretty dang good!


ps. I love you

It's been awhile

Hello again!
It's been awhile since my last post and for lots of good reasons! I've been extremely occupied with finals, moving back home for the summer and hosting a group of friends for 10 days that just basically changed my life! Seriously this week has been incredible. I don't even know where to start! The week ended with an amazing Jake Hamilton concert that rocked me in so many ways! The freedom in the room was incredible! His words were so inspired and his passion so un-containable! You just wanted to dance with your whole soul.

But the most meaningful thing that I learned this week is the need for community, not just friend, but friends who are family. There's a difference between being with people and living with them. There's a richness in staying up late, drinking tea and coffee, watching movies, making breakfast together and squishing in the back seat of cars. The difference is community. Learning one another's heart and loving them. It's just so beautiful!

Saying goodbye is the hard part!

Muy felize is me

Three exams down, two more to go! Can't believe it's already the last week of school. Can't wait for summer!

Anyway, I'm especially, super excited for the end of the week cause Friday Angie and Steven fly in!  Yea I'm pretty excited (as you can tell). Angie is one of my very best friends from New Zealand and she's freaking awesome! So anyway, her and her brother are coming to town for a fun filled week of whatever the heck we want! basically I can't wait.

Hopefully I'll take pictures. I probably will.
Oh and did I mention I only have two more finals left?

Yeah, I'm excited.

Just when I'm doin' ok...

It seems just when I'm doing okay with being here: with school, life, home, Chicago. Just when I'm finally fine...

I get bit by that awful bug, and I just wanna leave and go anywhere. I read a blog, see a picture, watch a movie, and I get those butterflies that come with the adrenaline rush of adventure, followed by a pit in my stomach.... and then I listen to some sad music and feel almost better because I can vicariously live my life through a song:

Worst things list

I hate going to bed! It's horrible. On my list of the worst things in life are:

 1) cleaning the cat's litter box  ( r.i.p. socks deboer )

 2) doing laundry 

 3) going to bed

I don't know why particularly, cause none of those things are HORRIBLE per-se. But I just put them off as long as I possibly can. 

So tonight I'm sitting here alone (everyone else is sleeping) avoiding sleep. 

Sometimes when I get in moods like this I watch seasons of One tree hill and Gilmore Girls till the sun comes up, sometimes I write blog posts or journal, play solitaire or look through facebook pictures for hours. After a while my eyes start burning and I can't keep them open anymore. Then sleep overtakes me and i give in. 

It's a weird life. 

So until tomorrow.... 

hehe, me and my niece, isn't she cute?
