Documenting.

Just want to write down some memories... so I don't forget them. Looking out over the city lights with my foot super hard on the break so we don't roll down the hill... the gross frosting on the margarita cupcake, but the amazingness of the cupcake itself... reading a book aloud that so closely resembles reality it's scary... going into a safe place when art is menacing...squishing three girls into one bed for the night... opening the sunroof of the car, being absolutely freezing, but loving the night atmosphere... the creepy cottage where rapers must be bred... driving and swapping stories, refusing to get out and trespass... E's crown and love affair with a pair of hiking boots...dancing in the swaying grass... waking up on Easter and realizing it's raining, the sinking feeling... the feeling of protection when I walked into N and S's house... listening to a voicemail and feeling tears in my eyes at the mention of the words "you're family"... the totally PINK restaurant... wasting gas and not caring... making dinner with two of my closest friends, then being afraid to eat it... listening to Ava girl tell her imaginative stories... constant laughing, for no apparent reason other than we're just plain funny... turning off the movie because we know the ending and don't want to watch them die... watching the saddest movie on earth when Sarah and I hear Elyse whisper, "He's gonna die. The movie's called Remember Me"... the peace I felt walking into an empty house... not being able to fall asleep because I was so thankful... the echo when I sang in the gym all by myself... the complete and utter exhaustion I felt when I completed the first run through... looking at Lauren, and knowing she was feeling the same thing... the memories that started pouring through my brain when I was writing to the cast... Sarah yelling at Jon's house... the exact moment when I saw the cast list and realized that I get to be young... the way my heart kind flips over when Phillip calls me momma in school... driving home and not wanting the drive to end.

These are just a few... I woke up today, just me and Jesus on Easter... and wanted to document these moments. These moments make life fun, adventerous, and at times, scary! Thank you, sweet friends. How blessed I am by you.

Christ is Risen, He is risen indeed!
