Oh my
word, I love it here. I've loved it ever since I first started going allthetime. When I was born. Because Jenn has lived here her whole life, and what would life be like without visiting my sister?
Anyway. I spent the whole afternoon yesterday and all of today lounging by the pool. Tori and Evan spent the night in our hotel room (Rachel's and mine). I woke up to "Ya ya.. Aunt Sarah. Yaaa." Oh Victoria. I took her down to eat breakfast, and we started the day with an early morning swim.
I am brown, but my nose and cheeks are pink.
Tonight we are going out for good Southern barbecue. I love a lot of things - okay, practically everything - about the East Coast, but I do have to admit that Southerners do barbecue right.
I had a great talk with Christe this afternoon as I dipped my feet in the pool. We talked a lot about the wedding and her dad and the future. My week in Texas is going to be crazyfun.
Nate comes in
one week. Yeeessss. We were talking the other night and agreed that every couple should have to be apart for a month or so. It's only brought us closer together. I didn't even know that was possible.
I am seriously the most blessed girl alive.
P.S. Rae and I are getting shirts that say "Run for the Sun. Leave the Fakes Behind. Summer '05". If you ask nicely, you can have one, too.

I loove early morning travel. I get excited and get up an hour early and wander around my house because I'm already packed. We drive to the airport in rush hour traffic. I heart Hartford.
In 7 hours, I will be sitting in Tampa. In 10 hours, my sister will be out of work and I will have a niece or nephew on my lap. In 30 hours, I will be on the beach/in the pool.
Yesterday I rode my horse for a long time. It was rainy out, so the south door once again became the Door of Death. He spooked a lot. I laughed at him.
Yesterday = good because I got to talk to my boyfriend for like 4 hours
Today = good because I get to see my sister + her familia.
I'm out.
8 days

My mom, my sister and I all got a certified letter from Leonard M. Crone, Attorney at Law today. We aren't going to go pick it up. Ambulance chaser.
I worked yesterday. It was such a bizarre environment. Ask me about it sometime.
In my spare time today, I am going to pack for Florida, maybe get my hair cut, hang out with Ashley (who
rocked her A + P final!) and go to the barn. I am also going to e-mail Leonard M. Crone and tell him what's what.

Crazygood weekend.
- Thursday - Daddy came home.. I did nothing all day. Got some time to myself to totally relax. Watched the CSI season finale with everyone. Manicure.
- Friday - Worked for a few hours in the morning.. stopped by the mall (come on.. it's just down the street from where I'm working this week.. how could I not?) and got some great deals. Ran into Mrs. Fowler, who didn't recognize me. It's been a year and a half since I've seen her. She kept going on and on about me.. the staff of the T-Mobile store found it amusing. Took a short nap. Pedicure to match the manicure. Seriously slept. Talked to Dayna! She's so red already.
- Saturday - Slept in. Ate with Mom and Dad. Drove to Bridgeport and passed the police station where part of the season finale of Gilmore Girls took place; of course I placed calls to Krysten and Janna. Sang at the SBC benefit. Went to Wallingford - specifically, Cam's house - and played badminton in the rain and cooked spaghetti with everyone. Had hours of good conversation, particularly with Crystal and Tricia. Crystal talked to Nate on the phone, and more than approved. Came home and watched late night TV with my parents, then spent so much time talking to the boy that I almost fell asleep on the phone. Loveit.
- Sunday - Church! "Double dipped" as Pastor Mark likes to say. White Oak at 9:15; Liberty Community at 11:00. I get so much from both churches, since they're so incredibly different. I learn every time; I lovelove Sundays. Ate out with everyone after church. Ended up at Tom's house for talking and basketball. Went to the barn and played with the pony in the pouring rain. Went back to Tom's house for M & M cookies. Went to Katelyn's 'cause her mom was hosting the women's fellowship. Watched "Phantom". Ate baked potatoes, brownies and strawberries. Talked with the other women. Ended up at home with Ash on the phone. Ready for bed.. tomorrow's another day.
I can't sleep until I know he's in Missouri safely. 10.5 daaaays until he's here and the first of several 21st birthday celebrations begins.
