apt in ral

i'm sitting at the girls apartment in raleigh.

everyone is asleep. cat, whit, and jess are in their room (they share one, by choice) sleeping, because they have to get up early in the morning.

heather is about 10 feet away from me, falling asleep on the couch, listening to Harry Potter on audio.

today has been a really good day.

it feels good to have finished the semester, and finished it pretty strong.
i did well on my juries. dr. p said she was proud.
i got an A on my internship journal. my teacher said it was "a novel idea and beautifully done". holla!!
i didn't do as well in spanish but i have a whole summer of practice ahead of me.

thank you Lord for getting me through that so i could enjoy this time so much more.
that time of finishing strong was brought to you&me by:
the Lord's grace
good friends
good coffee
good music
the library deciding to suck it up and stay open
computerz


oh man. it feels like summer. it is HOT in raleigh. the good, sticky, enveloping, smells like honeysuckle and green trees and green grass bare feet windows down hot hot hot heat of SUMMER.

today my sisters came over, i got to play with their babies. anna and i played a game where she had about 5 different make believe birthday parties and i met all of her friends from her preschool who came and there were different balloons at each party.
rainbow balloons.
star balloons.
purple, red, yellow, blue balloons.
streamers.
she's a girl after my own heart.

and then i took a fat 3 hour nap.

and then i woke up, showered, and ate strawberry shortcake and came over here, to the girls apartment, which is gradually becoming just as much a home to me as my own home.

and we ate salt and vinegar chips and spaghetti and funfetti and other etti's and laughed and watched the office.

and now i'm sitting here and all i hear is the hum of the refrigerator and that guy on heather's computer reading Harry Potter saying stuff like "Harry, GET OUT said snape" in a british accent.



p.s.

i am the HAPPY owner of a diana f+ camera. it was given to me & i did not pay a dime & that is an answer to a silly prayer. i am going to take a picture of a dinosaur.
