i've been re reading alot of books lately and jesus is waking alot of stuff up in me that's been asleep for too long. this summer is so full. i think thats the word that would best describe it.
god. relationships. life and even the air coming in my lungs. everything just seems so full of life and full of jesus and its making me feel alive and love more than i ever have.
i love it when people open up to me. i like finding free garage sales with rad stuff. i like elevators alot especially the ones that you ride on for a long time... like at my work with nearly 30 stories. i like eureka springs arkansas. i like old buildings and walking bridges that go over the road. i like swings and i like every hour of the day and night. i like going to see movies with julie and colby. i like when people name pets after me. i like welch terriers, they're so cute. i like painting class. i like funny people. i like rain and sunshine. i like meeting new friends. i like reading something in the bible and aknowledging that my heart is beating so fast. i like knowing that my friends and family are happy. i like loving jesus but i'm bad at it usually. i like road trips. i like quiktrip still. i like when my parents laugh at my jokes. i like freezing rooms while i sleep. i like staring at people. i like laughing alot. i like learning from older people. i like finishing paintings. i like collaborating. i like vans that have windows that ROLL down in the back. i like making up names for people. i love willow trees and i like summer. so. much.
i've been trying to see beauty in the little things so perhaps i could learn to love the right way.
get it.

beauty in the little things so i can love the right way.
that's great. take hold of the beauty they all completely look over - on the inside cover of my journal!
i'm sitting in a coffee shop in brookside attempting to complete a powerpoint on ICELAND. this homework is nothing to complain about. because iceland is incredible.
im drinking a vanilla skim latte (small. for here.) instead of soy because, little did i know, that soy makes your face break out? this isn't that big of a deal, but it also gives you estrogen. and i just think that i dont need any more.. sometimes.
why am i telling this to you? i think i just wish i had a friend. haha.
sometimes i wonder if the word jumbles that they make you type in to "approve" you're not a psycho...are actually real word jumbles. mine is ifrsg. there's officially no real word you can make with these letters. i just spent a minute trying to.
so man.
i pictured you saying the title of this blog with a champagne glass in your hand surrounded by all of your friends at some friendly-get-together-gathering in the future when we're like thirty or something. you raise your glass, "to burritos and dr. pepper!"
and we all applaude.
here comes ifrsg.
i'm about to put you on blast if i don't see your face asap.
i like falling asleep on my way home from lawrence in julie's car in between keller and katie.
i also like when your house is relatively empty and then all of the sudden like five friends come over and all hang out in your bed room. i like all of that kind of stuff.
i like falling asleep in the car when im driving my good friends back from lawrence. i also like barging into relatively empty with you and hanging out in bedrooms.
also i like hanging out with you anywhere.
lets do that soon?

hey kate. i can't tell you how excited I was that I found this blog of yours. now I can know what your thinking since I can't talk to you everyday like I wish I could.
p.s. your friend julie's comment made me laugh. I think I like that girl :) if a person is psycho can they not type in random letters?
i love that you take the time to sit and think about the little things life has to offer--the little blessings that we can reflect on and see God's hand in.
i try to do this daily, but often fail. but it's cool when you're having a crappy day, and you stop yourself, and you're like, "what am i so thankful for today...what do i love?" and as soon as you find the answer(s), your day only goes up from there. God has a funny way of reminding us that life isn't really that bad. it's actually sooo good, ya know?
so coolest thing ever. i love eureka springs too, and even cooler thing, my aunt lives there, so any time we want to go on a sweet road trip to visit, i'm sure we'd have a free place to stay (and a tour guy/driver...maybe even a boat ride on the lake)! heck yeah, be excited. :)
love you.
p.s.-i've been reading your "old" blog from last summer's african ventures, and i found a lot of peace in it. i'm feeling a lot of the same emotions, so it's good to know someone can literally empathize, ya know? when i say that my heart is forever changed, you get that, and i'm thankful.
dearest kate.
i love you.
