love is not what we expected.

Well hello dear ladies!

I miss you so much, and I've been loving reading everyone's posts, I need to hear from Tatum. :o) And Jamie again. :o) I cannot wait to see you all and fellowship with you. I am in dire need of it.

Summer. It has been full of everything that I have never done before. It has been full of everything that I never thought would happen. It has been change, confusion, hurt, tears, euphoric joy, quiet contentment, the thrill of secrecy and hidden adventure, knowing looks that really don't know anything...

I could go on for miles.

This has been the best and worst summer of my life. Maybe too complicated for a blog post, but all the same, the feeling swells into my chest and chokes me up at the throat and I want to burst. I am overwhelmed and happy to be overwhelmed. In a few days, it will have ended like it began and I will have the memories. Always the memories, lingering like a mist hovering over the fields in early morning, never quite touching, but there, lightly scenting the earth with its fragrance. I am the earth, you are the mist, and you make me wish I could do more than spin on my axis.
