Sunburnt.

I've literally had the best couple of weeks! I have been surrounded by family, have had the opportunity to reconnect with old friends, and have met new people. I've spent days lying by the pool, wading in the water, and basking in the sunshine (maybe a little too long)! I don't know if the smile that is on my face right now can be erased.

Summer finally got here, and I'm so glad I let it happen! For so long I was in a dark (or maybe dimly lit) place, and while I understand there will be times when I get a little gloomy, I know that right now I have found some peace in my life that has set me free. There comes a time when you have to let go of the baggage you've been lugging around, and simply put on a swim suit and dive in... or better yet, burn all the memories in a bonfire :)

I couldn't be happier with the friendships I have right now, and I'm thankful for all the people who have made my life wonderful! I was thinking about who I would have as bridesmaids in my wedding if I were to get married right now (so many of my friends are getting married so it crosses my mind from time to time) and there were just so many beautiful and inspiring ladies in my life to choose from... I think I'm going to end up with about 20 attendants on my side alone. I sure hope my husband (whoever he is) has just as many supportive men in his life!

Well, I think I'm done ranting about how great things have been for me lately... I better go lather myself in aloe and get to wasting the rest of my 3 day weekend just lounging and relaxing. Life really isn't so bad. Thank you God for reminding me of that!
