thoughts: i haven't written in awhile, but things have been busy. the last few days of the term were spent studying and working. that is basically all i did. i am so relieved to be done, and that feeling of peace has just begun to wash over me. after finals week, my boyfriend josh graduated with a bachelor's in business while his dad graduated with a phd in education. it was a beautiful graduation and it was really fun to be a part of it! the next day, i drove to idaho with josh and his family, where i am currently spending a week. it is so relaxing here. i can forget all of my troubles and just breathe. we are in the middle of no where, on top of a hill, in the most goregous home you could imagine. i can lie in the grass and not hear a sound for miles, except for the occasional mooing cow in the pastures below the house. on the first night we were here, it was really warm and within an hour of us finishing dinner, a huge thunderstorm rolled in, complete with lighting! it was a beautiful, powerful vision of god's might and it was a cool way to start the summer. i really enjoy thunderstorms and it is nice to be far away from everything that stresses me out back home. i feel invincible out here, and i'm so glad i have this trip to be free from everything!
why i chose this photo: i haven't seen a thunderstorm in a long time, and i have definitely never seen one roll in. i took this photo minutes before it was pouring rain and the thunder started. it was one of the most amazing things i have ever witnessed. i love a warm summer rain accompanied with a thunderstorm. it is so pretty to watch.
question: what makes you feel at peace? what do you enjoy about summertime?

Hey, I enjoyed this post--tell Josh congrats; he's a cool dude and it was awesome climbing spencer's butte with you guys. I've had a really, really rough few weeks so reading this post was kind of relaxing. Thanks for that. Music and being around really good friends makes me feel at peace, though unfortunately the latter is hard to come by these days... Anyway, let me know when you get back and we'll hang out.
