remember how we know love was here to stay?

today is a beautiful day!

so beautiful, i decided to wear a skirt

& was then complimented on that skirt by the cool rock climbing girl in class.

pretty painted toe nails, white like the clouds. 

the grass is an enticing shade of tea green.

72 degrees & partly cloudy;

just enough fluffy clouds to lightly spot the sky but not hide it.

a gentle breeze blowing, preventing that "too hot" feeling.

"give yourself what you need.  sing a song, it'll make your day.

smile, smile, smile and believe.  sing a song, it'll make a way."

earth wind & fire playing on the ipod.

the light smell of fresh deodorant.

that feeling of being completely prepared for class & knowing your stuff.

peanut butter & jelly sandwich made with the perfect proportions of pb to j.

rescued a fat fly that was trapped in our kitchen window.

it's clean check day; the only day our apartment is ever spotless!

it's my favorite day of the week, thursday.

tomorrow i'm off to bear lake with the family.

yesterday the guy i've practically been stalking at the gym talked to me.

(ok, not really stalking, but admiring from a distance.)

remembering the funny dreams of last night's sleep.

cute couples holding hands & laughing with admiration in their eyes on their way to class.

wearing clothes that remind me of mom (maybe because i stole them from her).

22 days of school left!

22 days until life in utah begins!

pictures of smiling friends hanging on my mirror making me smile.

"but i would walk 500 miles & i would walk 500 more

just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles to fall down at your door."

now it's the proclaimers singing to me on the ipod.

an orange butterfly fluttering by.

"beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

eternal families!

smooth, cleanly shaven legs.

91% on my advanced first aid exam!

reminiscing old hugs & smiles from the kids in china.

"there is sunshine in my soul today."

sun kissed skin.

reminiscing on china in general.

choices:

to smile or not to smile.

to change or not to change.

i think therefore i am.

it's a jack johnson day.

man, i miss the beauty of a foreign country.

but no matter where you go, there is beauty all around.
