i'll keep it quaint

This will be short and rather than the general musings on the matter of facts of life as we know it, it will be an update on life simply as I know it.

summer so far has been simple and bittersweet. Though I certainly miss good old nampa town, it would be a lie to say that coming home for the summer was not the best decision. I'll soon return to the land of coffee-filled purple cups, hair-frizzing wind and laughter-filled snapshots, this time in Olympia has been overall a growing experience filled with full-time nannying (which has led me to become an expert on thomas trains, roller hockey, football, better homes and gardens, bagels with cream cheese and squeakuels), new friends, old soulsisters, familiar sites, tear-filled car rides, thoughtful relfection, quality time with the elderly, family photos, little sisters' prom, dinner & a movie nights, meg ryan movies, two days of bed rest, new hair color, garage-saling, unsweetened iced tea, puget sound, lucky diego, paychecks, bookstores, local libraries (and overdue fines...ugh), black coffee, listening to the end, obsessing over edward sharpe, grey'sgrey'sgrey's, well-needed prayer time, miles and miles on new bike andy, looking out of my window to see green everywhere, exhausting yoga and it's only june. there is still great times to be had.

sorry for all that fauly paralellism, but it had to be done.

love to you, dearest darling. i'm off to read about chuck barris and redone fashion, while maybe watching something with katherine heigl for the third time this week.
