best friend- so good for the soul

this weekend is perfect. and zachy has cured all the lack of inspiration that I've had and distracted me from all the frustration of school and has reminded me of all the wonderful things in this life.

Just a few of the things that have come out of our conversations

" we should add this to the breaking bread book, standing on the beach watching the waves with your best friend, so good for the soul" ~ a few years ago we started coming up with ideas for a book about all things good for the soul;)

"I love that place so much" "Me too, its so great" "We are so lucky to have grown up there" talking about that sweet place we call home

"You can borrow my family" "Thats the best thing about it all, I have so many families I can borrow, thats why Im alive"

So much more. So much love and understanding and life lived together. We talked about the difference in the cultures between here and home, about the amazing people that I have come to know, about the future and living together this summer.  About school and family and love and all things life.

We have stayed up late and stayed in bed lounging around. Played frisbee and wrestled on the beach. Went for a late night bike ride and explored the cute surrounding neighborhoods.  Did a P90X workout. Sat and talked and joked with friends for hours. Stopped at a fruit stand and got the best fruit we've ever had. And jammed to songs of our souls.. songs of home and childhood and so much on the drive home.

And we still have a day and a half together.

Thank you for sending me Zachy :) Thank you universe for letting me have the best family in the world... who isn't even blood related.
