and then it was over.....
today, lynn wright birthday extravaganza and my lonely summer ended with a bang. we had our 3 best friend families, the smiths, fielders, and phillips over for sunday lunch and a pool party. everyone is all grown up and it is scary to think that one of us is about to get married. and i am so glad she is marrying a good christian guy who loves her very much and loves God very much. and i remember when we were so little, playing football in the yard, rock the pool, lemonade wars, dress up, house, etc. those memories are forever etched into my mind. the 18 people that were here today are truly my family. we all love each other, and no matter where life takes us, we will forever be connected through the past and through the love that we have for each other.
on that same note, terri, my mom's friend, bought me a bible today. i almost cried. she bought me one of those biblezines, but it was not the teen one it was the woman one. and i just felt so loved by these people, especially the fielders. lindsey and abby and i went to dinner at on the border.... i will miss both of them very much. i am scared for abby to start junior high. i know all the things that i went through and i just want to protect her from all of that. i know i can't... but i want to.
now i am kind of sad, b/c i read bj's journal and i hurt for her...because i love her so much and she is one of my lifer friends.
tomorrow i shall return to baton rouge.
optimism harms no one... negativity, if not harming anyone else, always harms someone.
