Today is a great day . . .

 . . . This is why: I have a brother, he's about to graduate high school, today he made his final decision on what college he's going to in the fall, it happens to be the same college I currently go to.  My only problem with this is that my brother is way cooler than I am and I will probably forever be known as "Andrew's sister" from this day forward. I'm okay with that though if it means I will be able  eat lunch with him every so often. 

"It's too darn hot"

This is the thermometer outside my house. yes it says 104 degrees. As much as I will miss the south for the next 3 months I will not miss the weather. 

I have done my best to stay inside as much as possible. This is very difficult on days like today when I spend 7 hours with a three year old who doesn't want to stay inside for more than 5 minutes.  It's not that I'm entirely against the outdoors. Just sunburns and heat stroke. I did brave the outside for a bit earlier this week though to go on a days kayaking trip with some friends. It was a really good time and I succeeded in not burning too badly. 

I think at the rate I'm going I'll be done packing by this time next year, unfortunately I only have a little over a week until I have to leave. 

Things that make me happy this week

Converse Shoes and Brick Roads:
Rainy Days:
Flea Markets:

My mother is one of my favourite people. She is from Scotland but came to America when she met my dad. She makes paper mache sculptures and rides horses and sometimes acts in plays. She's overall pretty nifty. Happy Mother's Day to my mummy. :)
