Greetings my old friends. It has been far too long since I have written anything of consequence in this hallowed journal thingie. Please forgive my lapse and inactive mind.
The summer has come to an end, almost. Each and everyone of us are on the doorstep of a new year of college. Most of us, it will be our final time returning for the summer. How very sad but yet totally super exciting. Real World...Here we come, ready or not.
I have really enjoyed what I have done this summer. Even though most of it has been writing grants and developing other materials to get the programs up and running, it has been a great deal of fun. It has also been most excellent to work on the farm. I mean, I can just go out to the farm and see 80 goats whenever I want too. Thats fliipin' awesome or at least it is to me. They may even have a job for me when I graduate...which, in of itself, would be fantastic. I would have a way to earn money right out of colleege=fantastic.
There is one things that I have been witness to this summer. It is so amazing to see the level of differnec between my friends from High School and my friends from college. I mean, to put it simply, there is no comparison. It is day and night, summer and winter. Also, the different ways in which the two groups interact with one another, carry themselves and walk through life are on such opposite ends of the spectrum that it is beyond words. It would be an extremly interseting moment of time to see them all mix and mingle.
I cannot find the proper words to express how my heart feels. I seach but I exhaust all possibilities. How can I describe a smile that captures me? How can I express the way I feel when her hand is gently in my own? How can I explain the way it feels to have her nestled within my arms? The distance is so very far but when that distance is no more it makes every little moment completely worth the time on the phone, the $$$ for gas and the longing of the heart. When words are no longer adequate, my mind races to precious moments and a forever smile within me and outwardly expresses all that needs to ever be said.
Anyways, sorry for the cheese. Never Again, I promise!
Guess what? I am going to Africa, for a graduation gift, from my Grandmother...as long as her health holds up that is. Safari here I come!! I hate to say it, but it is nice being one of two grandsons and the other one being married and making enough money to go wherever and whenever he wants.
Pray that her health holds up, pray that my health holds up, pray that nothing else bad happens.
Alas, my friends, it is time to rest.
