today it snowed...a lot. and that was good, but also bad. good because snow is fun and makes everyone happy, but bad because i didn't get to see any of my friends today because we were all stuck at home. i got to go for a nice walk in the snow with my crazy family, so that was interesting. i invited my daddy to walk to starbucks with me and then my mom and brother decided they wanted to come too. so, we decided we couldn't leave molly (my golden retriever) home alone, so we made it a family affair. we got all the way to starbucks only to find out that they closed early! it was really depressing, but then we were right by copper sky, so we decided to go see if they had coffee. and luckily, they did! so we all got our coffee fixes for the day. then i had a weird night. i started to get really, really sad about leaving on friday. i guess it's just coming up so quickly. basically...to make a long story short...i ended up all emo and crying and shaz. not so fun. but, then, jon got online at 11:05 pm and made my whole day 100% better. i feel really sure about things right now. and let me tell you, that's a pretty dang good feeling. God has definitely been giving me a ton of peace about things lately, and i'm so happy for that. because i have been so busy lately that i just feel like everything is happening so fast. i know that i am sad to leave everything here in seattle for such a long time, but some how i just know that everything is going to be okay. i may not always be happy, and i may get lonely a lot, but at least i know that i have people that care about me. so, basically, i am feeling so much better about leaving on friday. don't get me wrong, i am still extremely sad to go...but i know it's right, and i know it's something that i have to do to grow up and mature. oh, but can everyone PLEASE stop talking about the party on friday, because i think if i hear one more thing about it i will explode with tears. i want to go so badly... but circumstances suck...so i can't. i hope everyone has an awesome time though, and everyone better bring ben some good presents, because it's his birthday party! ok...in conclusion... 1. snow is both good and bad. 2. family makes me laugh. 3. i have a great boyfriend. 4. ben's party should be on thursday...not friday. night everyone. <3 sarah
