So after a ridiculously long time span, I finished Eat, Pray, Love today. I went outside with the mission to not come back inside without finishing it. And I did it, despite the small rain drops that ran down my legs, and onto my book. In fact I kind of loved it. I also love this book, its been fun reading just little bits at different points in my life. The book has traveled with me, to the several places I have been in the past 2 years. Great Harvest, my backyard, to the beaches of Laie, to the big Island, home again, then to Rexburg, but my very favorite spot to read is my backyard. So I decided to finish it there.
As I sat out there reading, I looked up and for a brief moment, thought how I needed to change the shutter speed to make the image I was seeing brighter and more vivid. Which is just SAD. I love taking pictures but obviously I need to appreciate my life more without looking at it through my lens.
Yesterday was also my birthday, and I was spoiled! I eat WAY to much food, though all was delicious. I have lots of cupcakes now (thankfully, I also have people willing to help with that problem), I also have more technology than I probably need. I also have an awesome henna tattoo, Alexis is a henna genius! I was also given lots and lots of hugs yesterday from probably the sweetest boy alive. Just holding his little hand makes me feel so loved. I can't wait to have children (and yet I totally can- at the same time).
Also not going to lie turning 19 actually freaks me out a lot more than it excites me. So today I'm wearing a bright pink bow in my hair, in hopes of stay a little girl forever.
Well thank you everyone who made my birthday extra special!
Great BIG Penguin hug.
I love you!
