my best friend moved to china...

and i miss her times a thousand.

but that actually isn't what this post is about.

forgive me, it could get a little cheesy...

because it's a bit of a "once upon a time" tale about a boy and a girl.

me, actually. and my boyfriend.

ya know, the one i only get to see every two weeks?

well... this past week was one of those times i got to see him, after two weeks apart [that felt more like two years.]

 we got punch bags and, of course, had to compare colors of tongues. mine was blue-er (:

we had mani-pedi time because hadley painted his nails sparkly (with my encouragement), so apparently i owed him one. but in return, he painted my nails purple, green, yellow, pink, and silver. howwww kind (:

we cooked all sorts of "grown-up" meals together. i love playing house with this kidd ♥

we took a trip to st. goerge with my mom, complete with meeting the siblings, lots of rain, and scotty's first speeding ticket. :/ niiiice impression on my mom, scott. ;)

i got sent home from work early on friday to spend time with this kid, so we had an indoor picnic! in the mortuary.. because it was pouring outside.  dear sevier valley residents, you can stop praying for rain now!

we took a sideways picture of our initials in this cute lil bridge on monrovian. not gonna lie, carving wood is hard. and possibly illegal? and of course, i carved while he just snapped pictures of everything he saw. such a photographer. (:

we took a walk in the rain. we took too many pictures. we talked for hours about everything. we made the most of every moment we had together. (:

i felt bad because i was sick most of the time he was here, but he was patient with me and did everything he could to make me feel better. i don't know how i got so lucky, but i do know one thing for sure...

i fall more and more in love with that boy every moment i spend with him.

alright... cheesiness over. 

have a nice day.
