An 'official' relationship

For the past week or so, it feels as if time has stopped for me. I decided to come home to KC instead of staying in Manhattan to work and make some moneys. This decision had everything to do with Colin, my new somebody. How cool is it that God has blessed me with time and money to be able to stop for two weeks-ish and pretty much do nothing productive. It feels like how summer used to be as a kid, a real vacation.

Colin is pretty much wonderful. I really want you all to meet him and get to hang out, can't wait! We've gotten to spend good time with our families and Colin's friends here in town. And taken time to fall in love, sigh. I dig how he prays over me and cherishes our time together. being with him feels right in that 'home run' kind of way that everyone was telling me about, yesss! Things are starting to get comfortable and less nervous to be around, lovin' it.

He offically asked me to be his gf two weeks-ish ago and now facebook as well. Both I feel are a giddy, make-you-wanna-throw-up, romantic kind of things. I was always afraid to let people know that things were official in the past, one cuz I don't want to gross people out with the gushings of my heart and two, because I had no idea if things were gonna stick. I still could be grossing people out and there is never a guarantee that things are going to stick, but not afraid of it anymore. breathe.

here's a pic of us on the lawn @ the Nelson with the shuttle-cock.

Welcome summertime!

January: heartache
February: learning to let everything go
March: starting to let Him heal
April: stepping up
May: unexpected discovery

This has been quite the semester, but summer, I welcome you with open arms! Bring on your bbq smells, your sun-kissed days, your lightnighting bug nights. I dare to meet you in the chigger filled grass to catch one more fireworks show and stay up late because 9:00 sunsets make the evening last even longer. Oh summer, my mouth is watering to bite into all your fruits again, your fuzzy peaches, juicy plums and huge watermelons! Summer please last forever...

backyard beauty

these guys are viola, so sweet :)
you'll see (and smell) lots of this on campus, oh spring! lilac
this is hydrangea. we have a bush in the back that's just heavy with stems of blossoms.
If you are looking for some of this for you house, may I unofficially recommend behind the president's house on campus. they are just beautiful there :)
and last, these are sweet William, a little flowery bush that comes back every year, appropriately named :) sweet
