A glimpse of home

So today I found a letter I wrote a few months ago to an old friend of mine. I never sent it because it wasn't time to send it yet. But I am sure that it will apply soon enough, and since everything in that letter is still valid, I will send it when the time comes. The reaction to the letter will probably be somewhat different though, I think. 


How was that for vague and ominous? 


On another note, I just returned to Alabama from a trip home (Michigan, for all you folks who don't know me as well as you pretend to). I had a lot of fun with my family, and I miss them already. While I was up there I messed around with my sister's new camera. The aforementioned friend called me a crappy photographer on more than one occasion. He is right, haha, but here are a couple of the pictures I took on the trip just for fun. Please keep in mind that all of these were taken out of a moving vehicle. 

These next few were taken at our little cottage in Michigan...NOT out of a moving vehicle:) I practically grew up at this lake. We have been coming here every summer that we can since I remember.

That's all for today. I've got some more thinking to do.

There are a few things that make me smile. So I am going to share those. 


One. Kids. Namely, these three:

Jaxon

Noah

Oliver

Those are the 3 cutest babies ever! :) They are my cousins...aren't you jealous?! Good, you should be.

Alright. Two. Tim McGraw. Namely, this song:

It's not my favorite of his, but the song makes me smile:)

Three. This conversation:

Me: Tell me something about yourself that nobody else knows.

Winston: I actually love poetry.

Me: Really?

Winston: No.

Bwahaha. :)) That conversation always makes me laugh. And Winston in general. =P

Four. This video:

It is the dumbest thing ever but it makes me laugh hysterically every time. Thank you Cody Turley! Haha:)

Five. Prankdial.com. Susan's reactions were the best. So was my best friend Jenna's. Behold. 

Jenna and her blind date. And Susan's bad driving record. Ohh, and we'll throw out my Uncle Chris too and Taylor kicking some guy's dog. 

Six. 
Black Chelsea.

 How COULDNT it  "mAkE u sMiLe?"


Seven. Mocho Charmander. 

I don't even like dogs. That is a big deal. This dog makes me soooo happy.


Eight. Harry Potter and the things it entails. Like getting into pottermore early. 

Again, be jealous. 




Nine. My friends and family. Durr. 

 



 


I know that I don't have pictures up of everyone....Oh well. Deal. =P




Ten. This picture, all it encompasses, and the photographer. 

Random stuff.

I don't really know what to say. I'm writing a book. I haven't worked on it in awhile. There has been a lot going on. My writing abilities came to a halt after I got back from GA. I was on a roll before I left. Oh well, I have my moments, I guess.

I talked to my friend Jenna the other day. I miss her a ton. Vikash too. And a few other people.

School starts soon. And I had to cough up an extra hundred bucks for a mandatory meal plan. I hate my school. I've got some books to buy for classes too. I'm not buying them on campus--they are like 200 dollars a book. Insane. 

Emily's birthday just passed. She is getting so old. Everyone thinks she is older than I am. I love my sister. She's just so great. And she is absolutely beautiful. It's funny, I feel sometimes like I am living in her shadow. She excels in everything that she does--school, music, acting, art, etc. She's very talented and I'm lucky to have her in my life. 

I know that this post is random and broken up. I am having one of those days. And I'm not really doing anything to make it better. I think I deserve a crappy day every now and then. Is that weird? I dunno. 

I have to admit that despite everything school is still only one reason I want to move back to North Carolina. 

My life is a lot of things right now. I couldn't pin it down to just one adjective. Because they are all polar opposites. I don't even understand how I can feel such different things at once.  I am glad I'm going to Michigan this weekend. I just need to spend some time with my family far away from Alabama. This place really wears on you after awhile.
