you say hello, i say goodbye.

this coming week will be glorious.

nathan and i will be going to Hawaii to enjoy some much needed rest and relaxation. we will walk and white beaches and enjoy the sun browning our skin. we will hike to waterfalls and caves, and swim in oceans bluer than we have ever known.

this coming week will be exactly what we need, because last week, well it blew chunks.

nathan and i have always wanted a bulldog. i'm not quite sure what it is about bulldogs that get us so gaga (who am i kidding? i know! it's their slobbery faces, droopy eyes, tongues that dont fit in their mouths, paws too big for their body, and simply pathetic faces) but they do. they get us every time.

we will drive slowly past homes we know have bulldogs. we will interrupt a conversation in order to point out the bulldog walking by. we have books devoted to the care and training of bulldogs, but we have never had one- until last week.

we finally got a bulldog.

and two days later we had to return him to his original owners because he and duke couldnt get alone. growling, fighting, and mean playing ensued and it left duke whimpering and the bulldog unable to deal with our dog. we took the long drive to return him, and i sobbed as we left their house with no bulldog.

i cried and nathan held me and told me he was sorry and things would be ok.

i know it sounds silly, but he meant so much to us.

we cant wait for this week to be over and this new one to start.

goodbye bully and hello hawaii.

As your friend, I hated last week. I hated last week because every time we talked I could hear your sadness and knew there wasn't a whole lot I could do to help what you were feeling. But how fortunate that God's timing is perfect. Right now you and Nathan are enjoying each other in an amazing place, and it's exactly what you needed. And through it all, I'm proud of you for staying on top of everything in your life so well (whether you know it or not, you do it pretty gracefully). Can't wait til you get back! Love.

Perhaps too radical, in a hurry but is time, not me. Parents,Cheap Snapback Hats friends, all good, like autumn leaves total want to leave branches. One day, only know the heart is sour, tears is salty, once mundane have, now is helpless crave. And I have already grown up and start a new life, a lot of things, the choice facing.
Like a person, waiting quietly, occurs, the society is in without your days, life, is also a kind of good. Fast graduated, will those of strewn at random time draw one end, perhaps, a day of a moment, we'll see. Winter continued long, and in constant in heart for peace,Gucci Bags moist. Say goodbye to the past, I learn to a person, a person's alone.
