weekends that surprise you

well, hello march! i love weekends that surprise you. the kind of weekends that are unintentionally busy. i swear to be a homebody but i do love my weekends spent outside my room being busy. in a lot of ways, i think i've fallen into a too comfortable rut of staying in and watching movies all the time because school drains me so completely. not that staying home all the time is always bad. i mean, i basically spent my entire freshmen year doing just that. however, i'm discovering that spending all day finding random things to do and winding up at uswirl, walking to albertson's for a date afternoon and sitting in the sun (*cough* shade *cough*),finding the top of a pretty mountain with a cool view, looking at old houses downtown, and getting dressed up for no reason can be just as refreshing as being lazy at home. i'm definitely more of an adventurer but my lazy habits definitely get in the way of that.

week(end) in pictures (best weekend ever)

this is why I go to school in Montana and why I'm in love with Idaho








out at sea for seven years, I got your letter in Tangier thought that I'd been on a boat 'til that single word you wrote
,that single word it landlocked me, turned the masts to cedar trees and the winds to gravel roads. Idaho oh Idaho




can you tell we're related? i love cousin visits





Niklaas came (again! second time in a week!)

two weeks

Something amazing happened today. I was walking along the sidewalk skipping in my glittering Toms letting the sun warm my face without a jacket on when I decided to check the time. Now, my fancy newly working watch that finally has the battery in it to make it work shows the day of the month at present and as I looked at it...I realized...it was the 14th! WHAT! Remember how I was complaining for weeks about how February was so gosh dang slow and how is it only the second, fourth, twentieth, sixteenth, and fifth of the month?? I haven't complained once about March and it's already HALF WAY THROUGH! How is this possible?? These past weeks have flown and I just couldn't be happier!!!

I'm sorry for going AWOL without notice. It wasn't intentional, I promise. In fact, you might (or might not have) noticed that I disappear every three weeks. Or so. And last week was one of the worst I've had yet! I had midterms, four papers, a project, and a presentation due. I was exhausted silly and blogging was not even on the radar. So here is what I've been up to for two weeks (my weekly update is going to occur weekly except for weeks like last one).

week recap in pictures

I've found that saying, "I need you," is harder than saying, "I want you."
