Behind my house is an alley. There is a barn on the opposite side, and leaning against it, almost in the middle of the alley, is the most gorgeous blue bike. Lately when going to bed I have found myself sleeplessly staring at the ceiling, thinking about the bike. I can see it from my window. I really want to ride it. It has been there all summer. It hasn't moved. It looks like it's been there for even longer than that. I keep on thinking about taking it for a joy ride. When Lindsay gets off work, we might do just that.
Lately I've been trying to figure out what classes I'm going to take after this coming school year. I've got all of them picked. The end is in sight! In a way I'm excited, but it's still over a year away. It seems like it's going to be forever before I'm done. And then what?
My grandpa is going into heart surgery tomorrow. He is 2 months from being 80. I feel like he might die. I know it's a morbid though, but after my grandma died, it just seems like more deaths will follow. I really hope I'm wrong, and that he will recover. It's in God's hands.

Hawthorne is AMAZING!
Last Tuesday was my birthday. This has been the best birthday I have ever had. Thanks to all who made it so amazing! (I had this great surprise garden party last sunday with croquet, boccie ball, great food and my favourite people.) This past weekend I went home to see my family and to go to spend some time in one of my favourite places on earth—Portland, OR.
Natalie and I had intended to go see a show at the Doug Fir, but we were so excited to see each other that we just decided to hang out. We went shopping on Hawthorne at the Red Light, and then went out for food at Pho Van (really great viet place down the street). The food was great as usual. I had something with lime... and vegetables, and then we shared coffee and ginger creme brulée. Probably not the most authentic dessert, but it was very tasty. :)
We woke up sort of early and I was supposed to drive to the church that my grandparents attend. Natalie and I went to get some coffee to wake up and ended up getting caught up in the Hawthorne Street Festival that just happened to be going on... 3 hours later after some intense sale shopping I finally left Portland and headed for home.
Saturday with the fam was fun. My sister got a kitten for her birthday two months ago and it is really cute... it's a long haired calico kitten with really long whiskers. She is very soft and likes to play a lot. My mom is kind of really into animals... and one time she found a mouse in our house. She couldn't bring herself to kill it, but didn't want to let it go because she thought it would get back into our house... so she kept it as a pet. The night I stayed at home, the cats knocked it's cage over and I guess it's running around in our house somewhere. Ahhh... nothing like being home...
... on the other hand, it was fun. I watched Stranger Than Fiction with my sister and she really liked it. We got up early and washed my car together. I really like seeing her. She has really grown up fast. Last time I checked, she was 10 years old.
Fav New Music: Rilo Kiley's new album Under the Blacklight. I would love to tell you which song I like best but at this time I just can't. They're all so good!
