SLURPEE! YUMMY!

Jim's Marathon

So today I woke up at 5:15 am (remember this is me, that is beyond EARLY for me) to see Jim start  his half marathon for the Seattle Seafair kick-off event. It was exciting seeing him prepare over the last couple months and see his dedication. He is so disciplined. I hope to learn something from him with regards to that issue! As we pulled up there were thousands (5) of runners and walkers warming up. It just got me awake and excited to see that these people love running as I do not like running and find this amazing that that many people could wake up that early and run. Seeing Jim run across the start line and then wave at me was the highlight of my morning. To see him in action, just had my heart leap and I was so proud of him at that moment. Congratulations honey, now go sleep, but eat your steak first! 

*I posted two pictures of my hot boyfriend for you to see! Check out his legs! ;)

Welcome Summer!

Friday I gathered with my cousins and their kids for a fun summer day. We met at my Aunt's house who had all sorts of fun summer toys including but not limited to: two swimming pools complete with basketball and a slide, slip-n-slide (which i tried out after being begged by my neices and nephew), two fun tents to hide away in, two different cars to play with, a playhouse that you have to climb and play with, and beach balls galore. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things, but we had soooo much fun! I even got a little burnt in the process. Welcome summer. 

3.9 GPA and I start up again tomorrow!

My friend Jenn sent this to me. I love it. It basically describes the next three years of my life.

Chance
by Molly Peacock

may favor obscure brainy aptitudes in you
and a love of the past so blind you would
venture, always securing permission,
into the back library stacks, without food

or water because you have a mission:
to find yourself, in the regulated light,
holding a volume in your hands as you
yourself might like to be held. Mostly your life
will be voices and images. Information. You

may go a long way alone, and travel much
to open a book to renew your touch.

i love you

It's been said. Those words in the title. It's been a long time since I've said them to someone other than a family or friend member. But lately Jim and I have grown close and our relationship has become easy and accepting. So I had been thinking about saying them for about the last month and I always wimped out and let it slide. I knew all I needed to say was "Are you going to say it first or do I need to say it first." But I didn't say that and just went on with our daily lives. Until Monday night. June 16th, 2008 marks a momentous occasion in my life. I said "I love you" to Jim. He said "I love you too. I've been wanting to tell you, but I wanted you to step up and not be a wimp and say it first." I laughed. He pushes me to do things first and I like that about him. He made me call him first. Something I would have never done. He puts the ball in my court and lets me figure things out for myself. I love and hate that about him! I know I have a lot to work on but when I'm with him I feel like myself. He accepts me no matter what follows.
