Summer Lovin'

I am in Michigan at the moment with my best friend and her family! Last night, I asked Hillary what time she wanted to get up. She said that "she didn't care because we had nothing to do today!" It was so weird. I fell asleep, looking out her bay window at the moon and the clouds surrounding it. Around 9:00, we woke up, ate banana milkshakes, and watched LOST. Then, we went outside to the pool to lay out and swim a bit. We ended up reading to each other at the poolside, talking girl talk, and napping a bit. I thought to myself, "this is it?" What am I going to do all summer? I'm not sure that I like the lazy life.

It was so good to see David though. I was so excited after I hugged him that I was shaking. Man, that must have been excitement. It's like he never left. Missions are so weird. Friends part for a long time, but because of the shared service, even though each person served in different parts of the world, when they come back together, it's as though everything is back in sync. I love it! The final piece to my puzzle from before my mission is back in place.

And now I have new pieces to add to the mix. I get to add Karin to my circle of love. Of course, there are many other companions and converts, but she is in Utah, which makes her more permanent. Alysha is a stronger piece as well. Before my mission she was my friend from Spain. Now she's that, my MTC companion, and my friend who coached me through the first stages of dating (we started dating guys at the same time; hers is still going on; I left mine behind :-)! ). And of course, there are new friends and interests that entered my life this spring. But I will divulge these things later.

That's summer fun (laziness) and spring updates!
