admit it, you've always wanted to make out in the library.

would never make out with a boy wearing shoes this bright.

but totally loving the car.

love is like the sea.

its a moving thing,

but still and all,

it takes its shape from the shore it meets

and it's different with every shore.

just a little something to warm your heart on monday. hey sweet thing, i am completely in love with you even though i've never met you.

if you want to know where your heart is,

look to where your mind goes when it wanders.

"set your sights high,

the higher the better.

expect the most wonderful things to happen,

not in the future, but right now

realize that nothing is too good.

allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way."

happy sunday. and what a great one. i love sundays they are always a day of relaxation and reflection. started the year out with a wonderful service at classic city. eric preached which is always a treat! and the music was so uplifting. its great to leave a service feeling like you really heard what God needed you to that week. and hopefully i will be better at applying what God needed me to learn to my actions and thoughts this week and see where He takes me. i love this verse because it reminds me to be confident in my faith and confident in Christ. so again happy sunday, hope its been a great one for you as well.

dance me to the end of love...

"some things never change. there is a place where we are always alone with our own mortality, where we must simply have something greater than ourselves to hold onto - God or history or politics or literature or a belief in the healing power of love, or even righteous anger. sometimes i think they are all the same. a reason to believe, a way to take the world by the throat and insist that there is more to this life than we have ever imagined." -- dorothy allen

i think i need a good cruise with some great music. there's just always something therapeutic about this.

been super busy since getting back to school. trying to get everything moved in, make the necessary changes, buy books figure out classes etc. with so much happening i haven't had time to really indulge myself in my courses. on thursdays i have two lit classes. one focused on children's literature and one focused on language and literacy. in this course we are going to spend a lot of time writing, just free writing and finding our strengths. i'm thrilled about this class, i've never felt i was a very strong writer and having time to think critically and just spend quite time writing will be so nice. even if i try to set this time aside in my own life i find it hard to escape distractions, but here i will have thirty minutes or more every thursday to just sit in the quite and write. with so much hustle and bustle i am thankful for a moment to find some peace in my thoughts.

love.

i saw black swan for the first time the other week. it was definitely mind blowing but it made me miss dancing so so much. i just want to feel that freedom that comes from dancing. this year i will take a dance class. i'm making a promise to myself.

been playing this song on repeat since the long drive yesterday. i am so thankful for everyone who has had an impact on me this summer.

as camp comes to an end for me, i find it overwhelming and sad to reflect over the summer. its overwhelming to think about how quickly this summer went and sad to think about leaving such a wonderful place. buts its a happy time to think about the truly lifelong friendships i know i will walk away with. i find it hard to find the words to describe what i'm feeling. its like that knot in your stomach or check when something wonderful must end and it can be a hard place to be. but its worth it because that means it all meant that much more to me.
