wait, what day is it again?

even though the majority of the population has no idea what this day actually means, happy cinco de mayo everyone! 














and yet, all that's on my mind is that i miss you. hope you have a great night :) 

it's that time of year again

the street fair is one of those things that you just look forward to so much. the bustle on 13th, the local products, and the awesome food. gotta love spring :) 

this is all i want. right. now.

ohh oregon

it's official, Oregon really does have the absolute best springs. granted there are still those days of rain that just makes your day so inconvenient, but honestly, nothing gets better than 70 degrees and sunny, with a light cool breeze. if i could live in that kind of climate all year round, i would without a second thought. just give me a blanket and a good book, and i am in my own little paradise. i will never take the sun for granted ever again. who would have thought that kids from SoCal would be tanning in 70 degree weather? back home, we would have been putting on sweatshirts, muttering that was too cold. it's days like these that just remind me why i love it here so much. wildflowers blooming everywhere, huge, green trees, songbirds on nearly every branch, and you are bound to hear someone playing guitar in the background. up here, once the sun comes out, everyone is in just such a good mood. grateful for evidence that solar heat does exist. 

YUM

i am absolutely head over heels for Sweet Life pumpkin cookies, i feel like i should try something else sometime soon... but this combo of pumpkin spices and brown sugar frosting is just too good.

there's no way around it

so, we're not talking for now. it was my idea. because for the past few weeks i haven't been talking to you, i've been trying to, with little success. and i'm sorry, but, i can't take care of anyone anymore. not like i used to. if you've got something you need to figure it out, then go figure it out. i cannot be your coach or your therapist. i can be your friend, i can be your confidant. i can be the person you want to talk to. but i can't be your savior. can't happen. i hope you'll want to talk again. i hope that maybe you'll remember that i'm here as a friend first. and that's all that i was asking of you..

spring is finally here, and so is the countdown to leaving school and arriving back to the place that i left, and spending the summer working (somewhere), going to summer school, and living with my sister. this is the last summer we are ever going to have together, so it needs to be memorable. yoga, beach, and lots of adventures with one of my best friends.
