confession #161

I'm in love with my string lights.. They are tacked to my ceiling & wall & I keep playing with them & they fall down.
Its FINALLY fall weather here in Houston.
Two days ago it was still like 90...
I have mixed feelings about it though.
Do I really want it to be so cold outside were I shiver every time I go walk Harley?
*sigh* I think I'm still just having the 'Summer Over' Blues

In 5 years time, I might not know you..

Just a collage of pictures from today.

I spent most of the day in my bathing suit.

I didn't go to sleep till around 7:30am then woke up & went back to sleep numerous times until 4pm (yeah. I have a messed up schedule. Don't judge.)

I cant decided what I like better..

I mean when I have my sleeping pills... being on a normal schedule is great & I feel lazy getting up so late in the day!

but I work better at night, I think better at night, I also get to talk to one of my great friends Bryce who is in the military & stationed in Korea so he is on a complete different schedule than I am.

anywho!

I got up around 4pm & went to the pool & just chilled out, & read.
{taken with phone cam, bad quality}

Ahh! It was so peaceful! I cant even describe!

I think I'm going to do the same tomorrow!

Jeez... Another reason to hate the fact that fall is coming so fast & Summer is coming to an end.

The Move = Over.. Almost.

Got Internet back today!
YES!
Back to the blogging World!

We are all packed & unpacked.
Haha Just joking!
My mom is,
I haven't quite gotten to the 'unpacking' part.
My room is full of boxes.
The only thing that isn't is my TV, bedding, clothes, & bathroom stuff.
I know you're probably like 'Well what else do you have?'. Yeah.. I don't exactly know... That's why I haven't bothered to worry about tons of boxes surrounded me.

Harley is adjusting nicely!
Besides the fact that he tried to jump off our second story balcony..

No I take that back he DID jump off our second story balcony.

Thanks to an amazing friend who grabbed his leash at the last second & thanks to God that his neck didn't brake & he wasn't strangled to death in the few seconds it took to pull him to safety!?

I now view him as suicidal, my moms friend says his nickname is 'Suicide' & we had to put this tacky wire fence on our balcony to insure his safety. *sigh*

Last night a cold front came in & today's weather was 'lovely' according to everyone else.
I'm not quite in the mood for amazing, chill, non-humid, anti-pool/ beach weather yet.
I don't know why, seeing how I hate Texas Summers but I'm just not looking forward to it going this year. But by mid-day I took my book & sat outside in the pretty weather with the cool breeze for a bit. It was nice, I wont deny. It made me dream of a future in a small, old fashion, southern town. Sitting on my front porch swing, emerged in a good book. Which someday I WILL happen.

This the only thing close to decoration I've put up so far.
My gorgeous pirate flag.
I don't think this is its permit place but for now, my bathroom is the 'pirate room'.

I Believe It Is

And maybe it's the time of year.

Yes, and maybe it's the time of man.

And I don't know who I am.

But life is for learning.

Summertime, I feel you in me

{via}

Its coming,

It is just around the corner.

I pray that since this was the coldest Winter for us in a LONG time here in Texas that it will not mean the hottest Summer as well.

I pray it stays cool for awhile.

I also pray for an amazing Summer.

Full of happiness, laughter and love.

Most of all, love.

More of the love I felt at the end of last Summer.

Okay.

With this post I will leave a lovely quote

Mexico,

I had such a wonderful and blessed trip!

I'm so happy I got to experience this.

{Steph, Me, and Rach}

{The church we had services at the first two nights}

{Us before we painted the first church}

{Me and Rach cutting corners}

{These adorable kids that lived in the town where we painted the church}

{Cody teaching a this kid how to play hacky sack}

{Rachel took this lovely photo over a wall that says "Mexico", I love it}

{Me and Axel, such an adorable kid!}

{This girl (who could barely speak English) told me I reminded her of Bella from "Twilight". It was SO sweet!}

{The second church we painted}

{Across from the church we painted, such a beautiful view}

{We were trying to open the coconut we found on the beach}

{Yum! By the way, I have paint on my hands.}

{Walking along the beach was so peaceful}

{Me painting}

{Cody with the pastors ADORABLE little puppy that we fed}

{Rachel likes to touch my butt! With paint on her hands. hehe. I think we got more paint on ourselves than the walls!}

{The water was so beautiful}

{This ladies house in the village where the church was}

{This lady was nice enough to invite us to her house and give us starfish she and family found}

{Cody looking wonderful}

{Peri: Wonderful translator/ second mom}

{Me and Cody takin a break. I jumped 13 feet into the water for this boy!}

{Us praying for the kids in the freshly painted church}

{me and the kids of the village}

{The food was the best!}

Then on the way home we went to South Padre and chilled at the beach for a few hours

{We had some fabulous Mexican Popsicles on the beach. One last taste of Mexico}

{Me dancing to "Strawberry Swing" by Coldplay on the beach. It was lovely. That song so perfectly described that day}

{Me and Cody on the ride home. I was looking like a lobster!}

{The ride was full of a lot of laughs, a TON of sleep, and a little sadness. We had such a great week. No one wanted it to end}

What an amazing trip!

I cant wait to do it again!
