Tides of Life

Saturday, April 15, 2006

The past two days have been absolutely gorgeous! I could not have asked for better weather, seriously. Yesterday it was around 75 and sunny, and after we got out of the 1 PM Good Friday service we decided to take advantage of the beautiful sunshine! We got to have Jimmy John's outside for lunch, and then Mom, Kristy, Willbo and I went for a walk. Right when we got back I went for another run just because I felt restless. It was glorious.

Last night my whole crew assembled at Kailyn's--it was SO good to see everyone again! We just talked and took stupid pictures (shocking) and ate pizza and watched Star Wars Episode IV (the classic!!) It was a lot of fun. After that I sunk into the introspective state that permeated my entire late night/early morning post... six hours sleep, up for another wonderful day. Oil changes on the cars/breakfast with Dad and Kristy at Perkins (with good fruit!) Then another trip to Jimmy John's for lunch with Sara, Shaina, Becca, Derek, Jake, and Kailyn. After that Becca and Sara left, but the rest of us (plus Jake's GF Katie) went mini golfing. Within two minutes, I managed to trip on the practice hole and rip the thong part of my flip flop right out of the shoe's sole! That rendered the sandals completely useless, so I just went barefoot the whole time. It was another 70 degree, sunny day, and we definitely lived it up on the mini golf course. Four of us, myself included, tied for second place!! It was a bizarre coincidence. Shaina took last, hahaha, and of course Derek won. He always does. (Though I beat him once in August!!!! It was a beautiful thing.) When I got back home, Dad and I played catch with the softball in the backyard, just like old times. My arm is still decent. I really miss playing too... hopefully I can do a rec league one of these years. Since then I've just been reading, and I'm going to start getting ready for church soon. Tonight is the Easter Vigil, my favorite mass of the year!! I'm am thrilled. I get to see my Carrie!!!!!!!

Did I mention today is Mom's birthday? :-)

So, for the most part, today has kept my mind busy and at ease. In spite of it being such a nice day, I've found that I'm drawn to music that inevitably makes me introspective, which is dangerous. The more I think, the more vulnerable to my tumultuous emotions I become. I've been working to avoid that lately.

Maybe I should just keep doing homework... meh. Or maybe I'll go have some birthday pie with my mom.

I'm liking the latter.
