One more day of it and then I am free till August. My last summer. It’s crazy, but it will the best summer ever. I have been in school solid for two years. I need a quarter off after going for so long. I shall be extremely busy with the pool, the beach, my ipod with the Tori Amos playlist, my website, friends, and those little drinks with the umbrella in them. :) 8 and half weeks…. Freedom.
Noah and I leave to go down to St. Simons a week from Saturday, finally a trip that is a vacation. A trip where I can sit back and just rest and spend all day laying on the beach listening to music and watching the waves. I haven’t one of these trips in a good two years. Last year with Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, and the Grand Canyon, then a month later with the Roswell, NM trip, then a couple of months later going up to Tennessee Then last month with the whole Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia trip. I’ve just been on the run every time I’ve left home.
We’ve rented this little house that’s across the dunes from the beach, I remember last time I was at the beach with Noah, we would go out at night and lay on the beach chairs in front of the condos in Perdido beach, and we would just chill and look off in to the black abyss and just talk. The beach wasn’t lit at all, for some reason the little condos turned off their lights facing the ocean, you couldn’t even see the ocean, it was just all black. We would lay out there for hours though just talking about things; we had the most amazing conversations that night. There’s something about those types of conversations… when you put them outside on a cloudless night, with the sound of the ocean, and the salty breeze…. It ends up being one of those moments that you don’t ever forget.
The last time I was in St. Simons was actually the time Noah asked me out 4 years ago. So it’s kinda cool going this close to our anniversary. I know I am not going to want to come back home, being away from everything at the beach with the boyfriend and the best friend. But when Jenny moves next summer it will be like that all the time, right Jenny? lol :)
Well I was going to go for a swim before lunch and Roxy is barking at my plants again so I best be going. :)
