summer days

i remember when i used to update this thing almost every day. in that time my life consisted of sitting on the back porch at the house, reading a book, writing things down, and playing with my dog. thats literally the extent of it. oh, and tombstone pizzas. love those. it seems like now i can barely get a breath in. im very rarely at home anymore.

the mid-latter part of the summer has been about a hundred times busier. i've been to cook outs, i've swam in lakes and jumped off high things into water, had a few wii parties at jake's, i've eaten out with my mom and brother a whole heckuva lot, did the whole moving thing, got a speeding ticket, learned the power of forgiveness, went to six flags and a braves game in the same day, found myself at pizza hut a few too many times with aimee and kev, finally saw little river canyon, built a bonfire with jake's schoolbooks after he graduated, had some very good conversations, ive spent a lot of time with stephen since he's been in town, experienced disneyworld, talked on the phone until dawn a few times, been running around the house with dixie, ventured up to chattanooga spontaneously with my mom, ive been fishing with my dad, whatever else i've done. its all been really great. im glad to have spent the time i have with the people i have thus far.

its hard to update when things are going predominantly well for me. i think i feel more now than ever that im where i am supposed to be in life. with as many backroads as ive taken, it takes a lot to admit that, but i really believe its true. im just enjoying things. take it as a month-long sabbath or something. summer is the time to be laid back.
