I forgot to post yesterday because something beautiful showed up in my driveway holding cupcakes.

You guys understand.

Also I thought maybe I needed to lose a few pounds, so I chopped off all my hair.



New hair, new life, same girl.

How We Love

2007

2012

At my core, I am still the same girl I have always been.

Just smarter, more experienced and poorer.

I am happy here.  I have been happy to be home today. 

I just needed an adjustment period.

These "one sentence" posts are good in terms of my consistency and sticking with resolutions... but they do make things a little melodramatic.

Lighter things that happened today:

"I know I need to get a hair cut... I just get so attached to it.  You know, cause it grows on me."

"You're using Christa McAuliffe in your diverse scientist study?"

"Yes...?"

"Oh, great... tell the kids to study real hard,

pursue a career in the sciences and 

then you too can blow up in space."

TOMORROW.

(Tomorrow I get to see my heart <3>

We have fallen down again tonight, in this world it's hard to get it right...

gym, rain, babies and dogs

life's good... even when it isn't.

Making my own atmosphere of growth,

learning to be a better person,

and REALLY looking forward 

to seeing my girlfriend in two days :)

Expectation is the root of all heartache

Catching up with old friends, shopping for things I can't afford, finding out sno-cones can be "stuffed."  Williamsburg.

Sunday is a day for catching up!  I've heard from nearly everyone that matters to me today.

One of my biggest fears in leaving my beautiful life in Harrisonburg was that I'd lost my "sounding board."  Thank god for Skype, for cell phones, for text messages... for never really losing touch.

Finally getting my room together.  The best kinds of fresh starts begin with organization!

Wishlist:
1. Large, black-framed perspective photo of the Eiffel Tower.
2. New lamp
3. Cute boxes for storage

"Oh, what a rumpus!"
"I don't even know what a rumpus is!"
"Well, perhaps that's part of the problem..."

Sometimes the most exciting thing about going to bed is knowing that there's a cup of coffee waiting for me on the flip-side of this pillow.  Life's grand :)

Imperceptible Smile

1. Beach

2. Wedding

3. Chocolate coffee

4. Birthday Dinner

5. Think myself silly

That's a list of things I did today.

That's funny because she took one meaning of the word "tuning..."

Amazing dinner with old friends tonight.  After a long week of wondering if this place will ever feel like home again, it's nice to laugh myself silly over a glass milk bottle.

This is a picture from last night.

Thanks for tuning in.

...See what I did there?
