This week has flown by. The first week of summer vacation has proved rejuvenating: swimming, reading by the pool, lunches with friends, time to relax at night or hang out, time to work out and lay out, and this weekend is (the highly anticipated) first road trip of the summer. I am so excited about the weekend and all of the people (that should have never left me in Abilene) I get to see! Friday night, party at Sundance Square with Trevor, Emily, Kim, Kris, Katie and Josh. I am thinking...kareoke?! I know you support that, Emily. Rock.
One of the main highlights of the weekend involves the possibility of spending the day with one Mr. Grant Kemper, and the fact that I may get to play with babies...Grant's two nephews who were born in April. If any of you know me, you know that I could truly not be happier knowing that I may get to hold babies and hang out with Grant--two of my favorite things in the world occurring in the same vicinity on the same day?! It seems like, in order for this to happen, it would have to be kismet (one of the many Yiddish words I told my coffee buddy from tonight I would try to incorporate into dialogue/conversation/writing from now on), or maybe all the stars are aligning or something...if I believed in any of that crap. Either way, it is exciting!
I want to take this space on my blog to say congratulations to all of you who graduated this May. CONGRATULATIONS! Grant, you are finally finished (until your start your job) doing whatever majors in Aerospace Engineering do. I am sure I will never know. Kudos.
I also want to tell my baby brother, Mason, happy birthday kiddo! I know you sometimes see my blog, and I didn't get you a card-- only "The Incredibles"-- so...here is your cybercard of sorts, buddy. Though you are only ten years old, I will always remember the fact that you know more about football (on secondhand, all sports) than I have ever cared to know. Thank you for taking time out on your birthday to explain interceptions and first downs to me as we played street football in the cul-de-sac. You are smart guy, and I expect great things from you, goobie.
Quote of the day:
M: So, you're birthday is on Tuesday. Is there anything you want?
C: Yeah, the last month of my life back.
M and C: Hesitant laughter-- knowing how funny, but how true and bitter the statement is.
Well, I suppose I should get to bed. I need to get up early and get a few things accomplished before heading out on I 20. I am looking so forward to leaving Abilene and being in my car for a few hours with nothing but good music and an exciting destination!
I will (unfortunately) be back in A-town on Sunday-ish. Until then, deuces.
