I spent the weekend at Kim's lake house. Her son Jake is home from Spain. To me I have a friend home till next Aug when he leaves to go to collage or where he decides to do. I think a year off and travel would be fun for him in my book. Live a little till you put 4 years in and get a job. OR find a job next year that will let you travel and work. Awww to be young and have so much in front of you.

It was very low key weekend and I loved it. I enjoyed hearing some of Jake's fun stories and his cooking.

I missed him this last year but as we grow the kids in our life grow and move on. But are never far a part from our hearts. Never far from our prays and our daily thoughts too.

At times on Sunday I want to say so much to him. How proud he has made this friend and i get it more then you know.

If Jake was in front of me now this is what I would want him to know...

... I get it. In life we all need space to come back to a place that we call home. The people in your life think you are the same. But you are not you grow up a little more when you were gone. You found more about yourself and that is good. A true friend will stand by your side and wait to give any comfort shoulder or ear for you. BUT on the side of the friend that is waiting remember that it is a little hard too. Hard cuz they want you to talk about your year. To hear it and find out what you discovered about yourself. Cuz I know I have changed and I want to share it with you. This is how we grow.

You should be proud of me too Jake. I didn't cry when I saw you and we hugged, it actually felt like a few long months since I saw you last (in person) and not a year. So its time to pick up and enjoy the next year. I don't know about you but I looking for that one great concert to see this year. Paint my room. More laughs and inside jokes. You texting in class... me not getting my work done cuz of it. I view in friendship you can pick up from where you left off. We both still enjoy the same things. And it's always fun to learn new things that are in each others life. That the things that make us who we are... our foundation. One more thing Jake I learned from you this year. When life hands you lemons... f- it life's never gonna hand you lemons cuz life is a bitch. you gotta roll with it. :D

So Jake the last thing is this. If you are walking on egg shells around me cuz you are unsure how I am... Stop it!! Jezzzzz life's to short and I'm not getting any younger. ;)

Happy Monday folks... miles of smiles in my life are having a year in front of me to make memories with Jake and share them with you. To share all of my life with you. I hope you had a great weekend like me. I look forward to this week sunshine all week long.

peace out <3
