So, I'm going back home for another 10 days and I'm way excited. Hopefully my mom doesn't catch wind of this because I'm telling her that I don't want to spend the money and then I'm going to get there in time to surprise her on her birthday :)
This also means that I might get to go to Purple Door Festival this year. I was disappointed that I was going to miss it. Thousand Foot Krutch is headlining Friday night and they are one of my favorites :) And the fact that I get to see my friends only a few weeks after telling them all that I'd see them at Christmas. It's gonna be good. I know I'll probably miss out on a lot of stuff here in Provo because it's the week of break between semesters but...I'll deal with it. Home is waaaay better.

3 glorious weeks
I just spent 3 glorious weeks that were focused around two beautiful weddings. One being my dad's marriage to his 7-year partner and the other being that of my beautiful roommate (and later co-worker) from my senior year.
I was thankful to be able to spend a lot of time with my family. We went fishing, played Canasta, spent a lot of time at my grandparents, and even went to the beach. I'm so grateful for my family and the support that they give me.
I also got to spend some quality time with some good friends. I love knowing who my real friends are. They've become so evident over the past few years. It's funny how I can go 6 months without seeing them but it seems like no time has passed at all. We just go right back to where we left off. I love that feeling.
I was also blessed to make a few new friends during this time at home. I'm so glad that I was able to spend July 16th with a bunch of friends making new positive memories instead of remembering the awful ones from a year ago.

poem 254
"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
that perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I've heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of Me.
- Emily Dickinson
