Drinking Bad Kool-Aid
Wow. I feel like I’ve been drinking some bad kool aid, because my last 2 posts (here and here) were pretty grim. Surprise, surprise, I guess that is life, sometimes it’s up and sometimes it’s down - really down. The good news it that I’m starting to feel like I can cope with everything going on in my life. I’m starting to feel more powerful than my emotions and that is a really magnificent feeling. Last night Jared and I had a long overdue date night. All our free time has been spent working at the Sandy House or visiting my family. Yesterday, Jared knew I was feeling blue and so he e-vited me on a date, which totally lifted my spirits. We went out to dinner, just the two of us, with no puppy dogs and then came home and laid in bed. We really wanted to watch all the shows we were behind on, but since it was already late, we had to pick only pick one, Game of Thrones.. which by the way… WHAT THE EFF! I have no idea how last Sunday’s episode wasn’t spoiled for me via twitter/facebook, because it was intense!As I was falling asleep I felt relieved. Instead of thinking about all the negative things going on right now. I started to think of some positive things coming up with the quick approaching summer.
+ I cannot wait to go on our road trip from San Francisco to Oregon. It's less than a month away and it's going to be the best summer kick off! You can read more about it, here.
+ Camping. I love when it’s warm enough to camp. Utah is such an outdoorsy place, that within an hour from my home there are hundreds of camping places and a few lakes. The best feeling is spontaneously packing up on Friday night and getting out of the house to go camping.
+ Sleeping by the pool on Sunday mornings. We have a pool in our town house complex and Sunday mornings it usually empty. I love waking up around 9am, grabbing our big comfy lounge chairs and finishing my snooze out in the sun by the pool.
+ Summer nights, one of the worst side effects of Winter is that it starts getting dark so early. I love that in the summer, the sun doesn’t start to set until 8:30-9. It’s refreshing to have light so late. I don’t know how they do it in Alaska, when it’s dark for days at a time.
+ Short term excitement, I bought this hair detangler on Amazon and I’m really excited for my next hair wash, so I can try it out.
What are you excited for this summer?
