Do you ever just fall in love with life?!

Hello readers!

It is 1:02 in the morning and I currently have so much energy I need some way to release it!

Today was such a fabulous day! I finally had a chance to relax after such a hectic week. Manda and I cuddled while watching That 70's Show and drinking hot chocolate... Classy, right?! We seriously had the best time, and I have such a huge crush on Ashton Kutcher. I have a thing for tall, silly guys. And he is just beautiful. Our night also included having a discussion about Manda's beautiful pony hair and how it reflects rainbows as it sways in the wind.

After staring at Ashton for a solid 40 minutes, Lauren, Manda, and I proceeded to show off our friends from home on facebook. Looking through old pictures was such a touching experience-- I am so blessed to have so many good people in my life! It is crazy to think how the times have changed, and how we are all such different people in such different places. I cannot think about time too much or else I will become depressed... "Time of your life" will make me cry, and it deeply saddens me that we will never be able to relive any of the cherished moments in the past. But I suppose we learn to then make every moment special. :)

On another note, thank God it's Friday! This weekend will be a blast, filled with tailgates, food with my awesome temp big, a ZTA sleepover, a day at the beach, and all of the other wonderful happenings that have yet to be discovered. I am so excited to wear shorts tomorrow and wake up to "Here comes the sun" as Manda and I dance around our room! I may even buy some Jamba Juice- who knows what the day will bring!

Considering I have gotten very little sleep this week, I should probably wrap things up and head to bed. I am currently in love with the world and am in a state of peace. Tonight I give thanks to some of the small things that make me smile: royal wedding parties, hot tubs, late night taco runs, and Lauren and Spencer's harmonious "meow."

Here is one final picture of one of my best friends, Sam, a girl I am proud to call my sister. This was taken almost four years ago, yet I can still remember our happiness as we would bounce around the quad during lunch and visit all of our friends.

Smile. The world is ours. :)
