Lakehouses and Driving With the Top Down

There's something to be said for swimming all day, lemme' tell ya'. Swimming with friends and just being relaxed and enjoying yourself. You ever felt that? Just pure enjoyment; no strings attached. No "when am i supposed to be home"'s or "do i look okay"'s or "does he....does she..."'s; pure, fun, blissfull enjoyment. When you realize you're having it, it's the strangest, most wonderful thing you've ever felt. And then, you realize that you met these people not too long ago and you know them just as well as you know your best friends now. And that, ladies and gents, is what takes a day from great to memorable. Faces that look at you, smile, and tell you that you're on there list of their favorite people in the world. And you tell them the same.


Have you ever driven so fast that your face went numb? In a convertable, of course....It's quite an exhilarating feeling, lemme' tell ya'. Blasting "Piano Man" and just tapping to the music and letting the wind blow through your hair. It's somethin' else, I tell ya'. Somethin' else. There are some things in your life that you simply hace to experience. Wow. Today was probably one of the most memorable times of my life, presently i mean.

You know why? Simple; for one day, people knew who i was and knew where i had been in life and, you know what? They laughed and threw sand at my face. It's those kind of people that are going to change the world, I tell ya'. It's those kind of people that really turn your life around. It's this kind of day that really makes you want every day to be just the same. It's this kind of day you never want to forget.

It's this kind of person that you want to be.

Never let that die.

    Well seeing as I just got home from work and have to be back at work in 7 hours I'm going to make this short. Sounds amazing. Swimming, driving in a convertible, being with amazing people. Those are the moments to hold onto right there. I hope you enjoy every second left of this summer. Well I have to eat my breakfast lunch and dinner for the day, and get out of this uniform and into another. I love you.

    Love always,
    Heather
