drive by shooting...i swear
today was beautiful. friday was beautiful, aaron is beautiful. life, in general is beautiful. i spent the weekend with the majority of my closest friends, minus lisa (where did you go, dearest?) and brooke sidwell, due to her residence in effingham. God has blessed me with strength-more than i ever could have asked for. i'm loving life right now.
i left school at 12:30 on friday, and treked to minneapolis with 10 other wonderful people (molly, meredith, kenzie, beth, steve (yay! new friend), nate, adam, bjorn, brian, and jesse.) it was wonderful. after my pathetic attempt to park in downtown minneapolis we made it to the quest club, where we saw: emery, watashi wa, ace troubleshooter, anberlin, and mewithoutYou. it was amazing. aaron talked to us (the 11 of us from iowa) for about 10-15 minutes after the show, about Jesus. He really is a huge inspiration in my life, i thank God for the chance to talk to him, and the drive given to me through him (aaron was used by Jesus...that's what i'm trying to say, to inspire all of us) then we crashed at bjorn's aunts house and woke up 5 hours later and went back to iowa...sigh. waking up at bjorns house, surrounding by my friends was amazing- you know those mornings where everybody wakes up in a way good mood and you all just laugh and smile and love eachother? yeah, it was one of those mornings.
saturday, i laid at bree's for a long time...i didn't want to shower. then i went home and showered and put on my prom dress and converses, then went to a formal dinner party thing--it was a blast. then me, and some pals stole our friends license plates and car keys and sent them on a scavenger hunt through cedar falls to get them...hehehe...it was fun times. oddly, emotional though. not like dramatically emotional-just realizing some wonderful things. we were all so happy!:)duh, this weekend was heaven-sent.
today i once again, laid at bree's house-all day. falling asleep on and off, not doing my homework, and not showering. twas a blast...until there was a LOUD BANG and a flash of light go by the window. (this was at night, when a load of us were at bree's watching the oscars) we all dove to the floor. i think it was a gunshot, we all think it was a gunshot (including bree's neighbors) i don't know it was really scary. but it was probably something with the power lines or something, but daaang...makes cedar falls sound exciting. hahhaha.
i leave for new york in less than 2 weeks...so excited! another chance to get out, and find more reasons to love life, and more reasons to smile. i'm going to go stay up too late playing guitar now, mmm...i love you.
stop frowning,
