Abso-freakin-lutely!

Do you ever just have an amazing day? I did today. I didn’t go out and see a movie, or go out to eat with friends, or even leave the confines of my home. But it was a great day. First off it started out with my mama letting me sleep in until 9:30, which never happens. I am up by 7am every morning with my energizer bunny, or Lily for short. Then we grabbed a quick breakfast, Reese’s puff’s if you were wondering, and then got ready for the pool. We stayed in the pool from 10 to 2:30 with lunch outside at the picnic table in between there somewhere. It’s so fun to be with the kids. Most days they can be a handful, but when you put them in the water, it’s like they become calm and listen and are just super happy. We ate dinner and then went back in the water from 5 to 7. It was all of us; Gen mom, Kiersten and Lily, and it was just such a good day. We laughed, swam, and it was like all worries and problems just disappeared. It was a beautiful day<3
Tammy and Adam got their own apartment in SC. Its 2 bedrooms, dining room, spacious kitchen living room, and a huge bathroom from the way she described it. VERY CHEAP! $515 a month, water is free, and then the cost of utilities. I want to move there. I honestly do, and it may sound crazy but I just feel like it would be a great move for the family. Danielle likes the idea and we all agree we would have to look into jobs down there before we contemplate anything but it’s a serious idea and that is exciting. I have told a few friends about it and the response is all the same: YOU CANNOT GO. And I know that it would be extremely hard to leave people behind. I love my friends and even more than me, Lily loves them, they are her family. They are stability in her life, people she sees almost on a daily basis and it would break my heart the first time I heard I wanna see [enter name] and I couldn’t call them and say come over Lily misses you. But I need to do what I feel is right and it’s not here in NJ anymore. I feel like a fresh start will be good. There has been so much death and sadness and loss and hurt in the last few years and I just wanna leave it behind. The only thing really halting me from getting on everyone’s ass about making this happen are my cousins, Mark and Eric. I barely see them now and I live in the same state, I cannot imagine not being able to drive the 45 mins to see them, even if I don’t right now.

I saw James after not seeing him for a while. I love that kid, I do. I am glad we aren’t dating but I could see myself in 10 years being with him, it’s weird. We are just not in a good place to date and there is his whole LACK of communication that he needs to remedy, but I do love him, and it was so good to have my best friend back. We fell into our old patterns; laughing at Gen and just being able to say whatever we want to each other without feeling weird. I loved it sooooooo much. Saw Knight and Day, it was amazing. Better than I honestly thought it was going to be.

Gonna leave you now with a quote from Remember Me because it was phenom and I plan to buy it Wednesday along with Percy Jackson....

Tyler: Gandhi said that whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it because nobody else will. Like when someone comes into your life and half of you says: "You're nowhere near ready". And the other half says: "Make her yours forever".
