yeah, welcomeback alexis.
Florida/Weekend
i don't have much to say about Florida. my mom could have saved money and not bought me a plane ticket. i don't feel it was necessary to have my presence there. I was quite bored. Yes, i was in Florida- but for what i did- i could have been in guam or middletown. i sat in a house the entire time with a bunch of strangers, watching them get drunk and annoying, and getting lung cancer and second hand smoke the majority of the time. (fun). I didn't even go to the graduation-which was the entire point of going there. it was nice to be in florida, 90 degree weather, and be inside. I enjoyed it. We did go to the beach for a short time though. Beautiful water, you can actually see in it. (MIRACLE!) it was really pretty. i get no color whatsoever, but it was nice to be there. Colby is adorable and he was the plus side of being there- got to play with him lots.
strong arms i now have. :)
Monday Night
that was my weekend. we came home monday- daryl called at the airport from my house (he had my key so he could come in everyday and feed Rachel's fish and get the mail and stuff) to see if we'd eaten yet. He decided to make everyone dinner- so after issues at the airport, we came home to an already made dinner. he cooked for the whole family :) spaghetti and the 'banging garlic bread'. haha
i semi unpacked, he showed me everything he'd made me while i was gone.. his creativity makes me smile.
one was a lime green canvas with a picture of him on it, and the corner says "the ONLY thing on his mind" and all around his head is my name. (a few weeks ago he found this stamp in my room with my name on it, i told him it didn't work anymore, so he stole it-- that's what he used to put my name everywhere)
and then another thing he made has a mirror, and he painted on the bottom "this is what perfection looks like" and then it has our painting in the corner of the cardboard with our date and such.
and he showed me HIS little carry around thing (he made his own after he made me one-which i took with me everywhere) it's a card- the 2 of hearts and he put our painting on there, and the back says "5 days..seems more like an eternity"
he said i was back, so he didn't need it anymore, so i have it now. heh. :P
i want to take pictures and put them up here, i keep saying that, but rachel told me somewhere with hosting, so maybe ill actually do it now. lol
he drew my french project for me, because he knows of my great skills. psh. we had to make a house and label everything, so he drew everything, and i labeled. i got lots of compliments on it- but gave him credit. lol
then we just kind of hung out for a while and he left eventually.
i'm ready for bed and i go to pull back my covers, and i see a red thing- i don't think anything of it, just figure it's paper or something. i continue to pull back my covers, and red things just keep coming and coming... my entire bed is covered in rose petals(is that the one with a d, or t? oh well), and there's 2 full roses on my pillow with an envelope. After i controlled the huge smile down to a big smile, i called my sister in for assistance. we filled 2 tupperware containers full of them. there were a LOT there.. ah it made me smile so much. :D :D
so then my mom comes in and "awws" - i tried to clean it up before she came cause i didn't know what she'd infer by it- but it didnt bother her. actually, she was quite pleased and said she wanted to put some of his blood in her erick so he'd be like that. haha.
"he makes everyone else in the world look bad."- rachel.
yeah, that's right- I've got the best in the world!! :-D
the envelope had a letter that said "i wish i had a rose petal for every time i thought of you, but there just aren't enough roses in the world. love daryl"
big smile, big lump in my throat, and goosebumps.
it was soooooo sweet.
ggaaaaahh, i still a huge smile thinking about it.
that made my night, and my today.
i had no one to tell today, no one talked to me in class, so whatever.
and Eddie i know would laugh like crazy so i figured i'd let that one go. lol
Cursive Letters<3 :)

the album is amazing, and it's kind of cool to listen to it- because i heard a lot about it when josh would talk about it.
*feels all special* I'm in Josh's thank you's!! :-D :-D :)
if i could marry online friendships, it'd be ours. :)
he rocks oh so much- and he and Tom are tearin up the acoustics on the album. go listen and buy! :-D :)
good job josh! :)
Happy day late birthday melanie. :)
yesterday was a year since Diane died.
kind of crazy. Sometimes it feels like it was a long time ago, but i can think back to her funeral and feel like it's happening now.
I miss you, Diane- and I hate the fact of knowing that I'll never see you again or run into your family in the grocery store, while we run off and did whatever we would do.
Death sucks.
i'm stopping now before it ruins my day..
i want to go to her grave sometime this week.
RIP Diane
