IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS...

...i'll be going to the PACNW (home)/ Seattle for a nice fun-packed trip to see my homies and go for Mar's wedding, then going back to LA to hang with elise & rollie and go camping @ joshua tree, then off to ISRAEL to see my family for a month, then BACK to LA only to have amanda and her family living in LA for a month!!!

in the next 30 i'll be hanging with all these AMAZING cats - every single person in all of these photos, i'll be with. wow. i honestly think i just died, like, i'm seriously have heart palpatations, thinking about how i am going to see soooooo many of my best friends all in the same time period; HOW DID I GET SO LUCKY?!??!? honestly, i am thinking back on the last couple of years, especially when we were out in sodak - how isolated, remote and alone we were, away from all of our closest friends and family. i feel that is how its been for me for so long now. and then. all of a sudden a OVERWHELMINGLY amazing number of my nearest and dearest all happen to be able to be together over the course of the next two months. amazing. truly, amazing.
