"Staring at the blank page before me..." Not really sure where to start. First of all...LUKE came to see ME! Right here in Virginia! You guys...there are just no words to tell you what an amazing weekend we had! He drove 10 hours overnight to arrive at the end of convo on Friday morning. We walked around campus and I showed him my world. (He even got special pernission to come INTO my dorm!)
Then (after I broke his truck!) we got into my roomate, Lee Ann's, car and the four of us, including my other roomate April, drove to my Aunt and Uncles house in Va beach. There is no way I could do the weekend justice. I spent every waking moment and more with Luke and my face legitimatly hurts from smiling way too much.
We went for a 7 mile hike in a "forresty area"...
and played in the Atlantic Ocean several times in several different climates. We drove the mini-van down the highway making new (much longer than nessesary) routes and blairing music that requires dancing.
We twisted up our bodies in Twister and twsted up our minds in thoughts we'd never thought before.
I think my favourite memory of the trip though was driving to a 24 hour waffle house with Luke around 1 am and spending the following hours going places we'd never been and living life how we're supposed to...or maybe how we are not supposed to...
The trip was beautiful. It was a joy to be with my VA Paladinis and my roomates and my Luke. I came back to school feeling rested and simply put...I am loved.
Fun memories:
Letters from "Dean Dane"...trains...humidty like I have never felt before...Broken doors...writing on the wall.
Playing the cow game...I definatly won if you count fake cows...April got "up on her high cow" about having negative cows...For some reason Lee Ann has a knack for spotting graveyards...Luke found no cows.
Singing..."Have fun going out!" My new fave song from Jeff..."My Humps!" April. Enough said...Kell Clarkson loud enough to drowned out or off key screaching...and all in a mini van.
Cat calls in questionable apparel...mohawks...Climbing in spite of the "Do not climb" warning...Standing alone on the endge of the continent looking at unnaturally white peaks come crashing on the beach and feeling truly "infinite".
"Dog" named lilly...Highways named 46...tunnels...smoke...sunscreen...Shots of childrens Bubble Gum cough syrup.
Lee Ann and April...you are amazing. I could not ask for better roomates or friends.
Uncle Mark, Aunty Tracy, Sam, benny...I couldn't be here without you. You don't know what a godsend you are.
Luke...Thank you for reading the book.
I love you. | 
But I have pictures 
...hehehe...but let me think logically about this, will she kill me before I even have the joys of reading comments about them? I think I'll take a chance you only live once, right, and even then its only as a vapor.
