It’s utterly amazing to me how fast life can change. This weekend was one for the record books. I successfully dropped my phone in the toilet, drove all the way to Houston for a final just to be told I have to wait another day, slept in a room with no AC (or didn’t sleep) and was a few alligator tears shy of a meltdown when my mom texts me and says they got me a dog. Me? I have a dog? Is this real life? I was dumbfounded for the upteenth time this weekend. I never thought in this lifetime that my parents would get me a dog. Yet, once again, they never cease to amaze me. With a smile on my face David and I venture back to Houston to stay the night in a non air conditioned house once again. Then a song comes on from the middle school days. It instantly brings a huge smile to my face and while I normally hate having the windows down when it’s hot, I suddenly get the urge to roll down the window and stick my head out like a dog who has been cooped up for hours. It was an exhilarating feeling that allowed me to reflect on summer thus far. I finally turned 21, my parents, friends, and incredibly boyfriend made it one for the record books. Then I got to visit my brother in SF. As if seeing him after 6 months wasn’t enough, SF is even more gorgeous than I imagined. It truly was a weekend of a lifetime, minus all the Giants fans. Claws and Antlers up! Now were arriving in Houston just in time for the rain and the wonderful smell it brings. God sure is funny sometimes, thanks for always keeping me in check big guy.
