hellloooooo
So.. lately I have a VERY close relationship with this couch I am currently sitting on, the cozy quilt covering me, the pillow behind my head and the back of my eye lids. I have been taking THE most epic naps lately and frankly they are starting to worry me a little. Just kidding but I think my body is either STILL recovering from the RYLA exhaustion, or aware that the summer is soon coming to a close and the school year will be in full swing. Its like a subconcious understanding either that I will be sooo busy that I need to stock up on sleep now or just my body getting in the habit of daily naps. I have a love hate relationship with it. I love naps but as I told Kels I really dont have time to take two hour naps everyday. Holy moly.
Also.. my little brain is spending loads of time in either RYLA land or Santa Clara land. Ooo lovely, two of my favorite lands. Thoughts and memories and ideas and excitement and sooo many things to think about. Im still holding on so tight to RYLA and feeling it soo much. Rotary meeting today with drum roll please... SIX SUMMIT RYLARIANS!!! DUDE.. .SIX!!! Thats is 600% of what went three years ago. And one was missing. So RYLA participation has umm i dont even know how to say that word (i just googled it) SEPTUPLED! That in itself is wonderful. Not to mention the fact that they are all out of this world and are gonna RYLA the heck out of Summit County and that the Summit Rotary Club um LOVES us and wants to give lots of money so more people can go and that I just feel right at home there because I have been there thanking them so many times. I just love it. So dang much. And am so addicted and attached and inspired by it. Im not letting go, even if the cards dont align for head jc I will find another way. Sorry world you cant get in my way :) And I also just have to give a shout out to the Cuadrado family. Rolo has absolutely changed my life and I am so thankful for him and the relationship we have and I am learning about how wonderful his kids are and its just really great to see a wonderful family and have him as a mentor and my RYLA daddy :)
Also.. I am talking on the phone to all but like 4 counselors right now which is wonderful and challenging all at the same time :) But how I love them oh so so so much and bahhh RYLA just makes my heart huge and its wonderful!!!!!
And I am so excited to be back at school for so many reason.
But Im still here and I cant forget to enjoy here. So! Tonight I went for the best run of the whole summer at the lake. A run where my little legs just kept going and I listened to my breathing and took in the out of this world view and it felt so good. And then i sat on a rock and just looked at the mountains and the sunset and the lake. And listened to one tribe and RYLA memories flooded my head and I thought about where I've been and where I am and how beyond content I am right now. I love it. Then I went to Erics and I just sat with him. I thought about life as 5. I do that all the time. And realized again I will never ever ever know what it'd be like. I thought about him coming to Michigan with us. I wondered where he was. Like really where...and how is it and what does he do there. And then I choked up. Sometimes I dont and other times I do. And tonight I just wanted to hug him, more than anything in the world. But sitting there is hugging him in a crazy kinda way. And I love going there :) I came home and had delicious dinner with mom. Confrenced called with that crazy amazing family of mine and realized its time to pack.
Ill be on my way to michigan in 6 and a 1/2 hours. Not fully packed, or rested or showered. Oopsies. I always do this to myself the night before a trip. Its ok though. I cant wait. So much good is coming. So much relaxing and thinking and loving and playing and learning about my pop. Im ready to learn. Be ready for big blogs. :) Night!
