birthday.


today was perfect. no lie. didn't have to go into class until 2 so i had this morning to sleep in, work out and shower and still had time to sit down and eat some lunch while i watched "the santa clause". ha yea i know its only like september, but every year for some reason i get a jump start on listening to christmas music and today was perfect because it was overcast (which reminds me of snow) and really cool outside. i didn't have to rush to class and before i knew it it was time to go home. after getting home and running 3.2 miles exactly (only reason i knew that was because i ran on the treadmill) i went down to my grandparents. gammy's birthday was today and gampa's birthday is tomorrow. its crazy to me to think that they're still so young at heart. they do things that my parents wouldn't even do. and i love it. they're 80 years old and still act like they're 50. when i get that old, which seems crazy at this point in my life because i feel like it took me forever to get to 20, i want to be that outgoing and adventurous. i honestly think they both act like that because of each other. when one of them has a crazy idea to do something, the other asks no questions and go with it. they're a big part of my life and i'm just glad that i've had these opportunities to spend time with them and be with them while i still can. eventhough i complain about living at home sometimes, it's nights like these that make me realize that its more of a blessing.

simple, as it should be.

sundays are my favorite. i feel comfortable on sundays, there is nothing absolutely necessary for me to do. the one day out of the week that i can just relax and do what i want. i got the time to sit for a while in the kitchen with my grandmother and went on a hunt to find a really old camera from like 40 years ago in the attic. its just been one of those days that seems random but filled with things that happen that you'll probably never forget. regardless of how stressed out things become or how many priorities and commitments seem to build up, i know i'll always have my family to count on. they've got to love you regardless. ha its just seems that here lately all the good things are coming together and are falling into place. the right place. i don't know if its something i'm doing, or not doing, but i want it to continue. everyone is happy. its a good thing, good enough for me.
