love and memories.

i love those pictures. =]

well i was looking over my list last night. my list of the things i wanted to accomplish this summer. and since we have aboutt a month and a week left (i know, i know. it sucks.) i figured it would be a good timee to maybe do some evaluating? =]

heres the list, my comments in italics :

~ spend as much time possible with you and shannon. (this has actually happened :DD )

~ spend time with tons of my friends, for that matter. baxter, and lindsay, and alex, and everyone. (i havent seen hardly anyone else :/ but im making plans to right now! )

~ have no regrets. (actually right now i have none. surprisingly so.)

~ do something i never would expect myself to do, or that no one would expect me to do. (i absolutely did this.)

~ have an amazing time, with a certain boy. you know who. ( haha =]] )

~ feel better about myself. (yeah. actually yeah this has been taking place, not too much but its there and its a start i guess)

~ get a tan !! :] (YAY yes i have a tan noww ! its uneven with some burn but w/e :p)

~ i think you and me and shan should take a day trip, or two day trip somewhere. just like a little getaway, anywhere. beach maybe? i don't care. that would just bee so fun. (day trip to the beach. without shan :[ next time thoughh! )

~ borders days. (we still need to have one!!!!! ive had my own and they were great fun :p)

~ exercise more for a better preseason. (this makes me sad. i might not even be able to do preseason. )

~ make new friends. (for sure. field hockey camppp hello! )

~ don't lose touch with people like i usually do. (ive been better.. talking to you, hayley, sarah and shan almost every dayy.)

~ never lose hope. in myself, and in the things around mee. (haha this ones been hard.)

~ try breathing once in a while instead of stressing out. (see above comment.. hahah)

so really.. i didn't do so badd! and i still have time to work on some of the other ones.

this is actually the first summer i've made goals and actually achieved some.

i feel really happy.

i feel like this summer i've done things. i've been places. i've learned and i've lived and while i haven't loved every minute (at times) it's been amazing, and completely necessary for me, and the person that i am and want to be.

i've been loading tons of pictures lately, and i stumbled on some from last summer.

actually a lack of pictures. i seriously .. didn't have a life.

i had friends. really good friends. best friends. but not like the amazingg relationships i have with them noww =]

i had noo guy stuff (which isnt always bad, i've learned.)

i feel like this summer has been a step in the right direction for me.

i'm becoming someone who i might like !

andd i can only hope that in the last days of summer i'll be able to fill them with more memories like the awesome ones i've had so far.

i don't even need what's to come to know that

this has been the best summer of my life.

it wasn't THE summer. that's still to come i believe :p

but it was different. new. and really nice.

i justt am in a good mood i guess.. not everything this summer has been perfect THAT'S for sure. but in all its turned out pretty darnn well.

love always&forever. anj
