Barbeques, Dr. Pepper, and fresh-cut grass..

Have you ever sat down and thought about how beautiful things are? I mean, honestly.....today I had time to sit and think about life..how things have been falling into (and out of) place lately, and how lucky I am to be experiencing it all. It is now summertime, which is laced with so many activities and moments just waiting to be had.

Barbeques...now who doesn't love those? Getting a chance to let loose, chill out, and eat good food is always something that people around the world can relate to. So careless and free...it's such a wonderful thing that I am thrilled to get back to now that the weather has ripened.

Dr. Pepper......I'm not quite sure why I'm writing about it....it's not really summery-ish...but I like Dr. Pepper, and it makes me feel happy. Period.

Fresh-cut grass.....ahhh, just imagining it gives me tingles. I simply adore the scent that hangs about after you mow the lawn, and how good it feels to walk through it with your bare feet, especially in the early evening, when it's nice and cool, scrunching beneath your feet, and then springing back up once you lift up your foot. =D

Summer makes me feel so content...I don't know.......I'm just in such a good mood today...well, and Peter talked to me today. Not that that never happens...he talks to me everyday...lol....but see, he left to go to Cincy this afternoon for his soccer match tomorrow...and since I can't be with him tonight, or tomorrow night, I've been bumming. But the emails he sends...the phone calls he makes...hehe....today at noon (before I left to eat at my grandparents' house) he called, and we talked for about 20 minutes...and we said goodbye, yadda yadda, seeing as I thought it was the last time I'd hear from him til sunday. But just now as I logged onto my computer, I checked my mail, and apparently, he sent me this lil note right before he left..............."I just wanted to say bye..I hope you have a nice weekend...I'll be thinking of you a lot...bye."

Ahhh...it makes me so happy.....

By the way..for those of you that read this that know me.......please don't think that I'm obsessed with Peter or anything....I know I write about him a lot...but understand, too, that we're trying to keep this under wraps..and I can't exactly go talking randomly about him to passing people. He does nice things for me...he cares...and when he does that, I can't simply say nothing........no one can know how hard that is for me....I feel like I'm living such a lie right now...this is my only outlet......

I apologize for any rolling of eyes...it's just...it's summer...I'm happy....and I can't tell very many people.....

I think I might go take a walk in the grass....
