must pack! must pack! and clean some!!

so i am stoked outta my mind! me and halfie are off to santa barbara today! road trip!! im thinking we should stop at Dewars in bakersfield (i believe it is right off the freeway) and get some of those peanut butter candies for the weekend!!
but yes! i need to pack and clean my room a bit. Ii hate coming home after being gone, and your room is all messy. its not very inspiring. then you never end up emptying the suitcase and you live out of it till your next trip (a least thats what i have done since the volleyball tourney in sac town . . .. ) yeaa.
but anyways!! i am excited! i shall see you soon alana, and halfie i will see you even sooner! i actually believe i will see both of you before you see this note!!
oh! and ataloa! i love you a lot and want to have coffee (or tea!) soon. see how you are doing and such!!
god is good.
he has sent beautiful weather for a road trip.
im thinking windows down all the way (full enjoyment factor) . . . . . maybe a ponytail is in order

so today i was driving a lot . . . . but it was wonderful!!
the first little moment that i appreciated was while driving past a junior high school. it was probably the last period of the day, the janitors were getting things out of their closet to get ready to clean up the halls for the day. well one of them was playing on the monkey bars. it made me happy to see such abandon! such carefree living in an adult women! i feel that i dont see that as often as i would like. thanks for her joy :)
then i was driving some more, on my way home to see the fam for the evening. as i was heading over the pass above the railroad tracks on herndon; i caught a glimpse of the mountains in my rear view mirror. i was in awe. i made a u-turn to go and see it again. (fortunately i was able to drive slowly cause nobody was behind me.) i have never seen the mountains so beautiful! seriously! i could see them as far as they went, north to south. with the windows down the air was so crisp. it was truly magnificent.
its days like today that i love. i feel that so often our society, our culture, doesn't allow us to experience life the way God intended. not always but often. adults have to be mature. or at least act like they are mature...
but then the rain falls.
it washes the air clean
and we can breathe again.
we abandon fear,
the cares of how we are "supposed" to act
we just simply live
and enjoy this beautiful view
this view that was made for us
the people of fresno.

thanks jesus!!
:)

now i shall go enjoy my mom and my sister. they will be arriving home soon.
