dear life,

i like... flag football at the end of the day, street singers who give me a soundtrack for walking to class and stepping on leaves in the fall while the sun is setting.

i like eric... and i like when he calls me to tell me he is coming over to see me even though he has tons of homework and has a test tomorrow and class at 8.15 and i tell him he needs to study. but... i most definitely don't say he can't come over. [:

i like my family.... i like when my aunt kris calls me and leaves me a five minute or longer voicemail just rambling. because that's what she does, and i like that she sends me bread and cookies. those are always nice. and i like calling my mom and dad just cause. and i like being able to talk to little bug a lot more now and she tells me everything that's up.

i like... missionaries. my brother is coming home the 5th of january and i seriously can't wait that long. yes, i've waited two years and i got to talk to him on the phone but now?.... it just feels like he needs to be home. scott gets home the 29th of december and i can't wait to see him either. new years will be good for me i'm thinking! maybe i'll take scott ice skating or something fun like that. he said i needed to have plans.


recently i've been in a bad mood. especially yesterday, almost getting hit by a car, online class not working, being stressed, not being able to see eric besides at flag football before he started reffing. but today i've decided i'll end my night on a good note. my life isn't horrible, i have people that worry about me and care about me and love me. i live in a nice place even though it doesn't always feel like home. i eat decent enough food. i have amazing friends and family and a boy that for some reason adores me. and i adore him to pieces. life... is good. and i can be in a good mood for that.

love, me.
