bushiest beaver...

so ive been running around this past week from one thing to the next. i feel like i have very little down time.

currently im looking into starting a lunch business, and have lots of silly govt hoops i need to jump through to do it. I hope it all works out, because it's only been 3 days of work and I already can't wait to leave.
prayers would be appreciated.

will write about graduation and weekend when i get a chance.

my sad life without milk

...So my nutritionist has told I can only eat fruits, veg, meat, and healthy fats (olive oil, avocados, etc...) no dairy, sugar, and grains for at least 90 days. (i will not follow this when I am in Ocean city. The ice cream, cheese steaks, and pizza there is too good.) Not having dairy is much harder than I thought. I drink a ton of milk and eat lots of yogurt. And I can't have the soy versions of milk or yogurt, because of my allergy to it.
Also I can't have sugar. =(

I was telling Hailey about what I can and can't eat and she (as many others) have told me my life must suck because I can't eat certain things. But it really just forces you to be creative with your meals.
It is hard, and I have been craving a glass of milk all week. But I do it because it really helps me feel better.

होम

after a "fun" ordeal yesterday of getting my eye very badly scratched I finally made it home (after a miserable flight- BUddy had a better time than me, she ate and slept the whole way there). This morning was the first time I was really able to open my eye. So that's good. The swelling has gone down, but it's still red though.

I am having a very good time this morning watching Buddy and Toby play in the backyard and in the house. It's really very cute and funny.

Also I haven't been home in 6 months, its weird being home now.

And I have a sort of restricted diet I need to be on. And there is nothing to eat in the house really. I'm just waiting for my dad to get home so I can take the car and go get something to eat.

My running miles this week are a bit off because of my lack of a good run yesterday and the shoes i ordered for here came as only two right shoes? So just another thing to do...

evidence....

....that jeff is the best boyfriend in the world. He called me and asked yellow or purple? I had no idea what he was asking about. I said yellow.

butterflies....

Jeff,

How is it you still give can give me butterflies when you kiss me? Sometimes it's so bad I don't know what to do with myself. I get overwhelmed with how much I love you.

Prince of Persia...

Jacob and I went to see Prince of Persia tonight. And I was not expecting much, because from what I heard it wasn't very good. But seriously, it was amazing! Jacob and I (and the little boy who stood up and pretended he had a sword during the fight scenes) loved it!
The action was awesome. The story was really good, the ending was surprising, and I mean can you really get any hotter than Jake Gyllenhall in his get up? A lot of the lines were cheesy but it didn't make it less awesome for me. I liked it almost as much at the first Pirates of the Carribean.
Also Alfred Molina was hilarious! and I loved him!

-ps i have a crush on jake gyllenhall's arms and eyes

best jacob night all year...

I have this dear friend named Jacob. He is super sweet, and silly, and very much fun to be around.
I haven't spent as much time with him this year as I did last year, and I'm a little dissapointed for that. Tonight I went to his new place to pick up some drawings and paintings, and ended up staying for a few hours. First we survayed the new apartment, thought of decorating ideas, explored the closests, etc... But this storm sort of blew up very quickly, and I suggested we go out on the balcony to look at the lighting. And boy, did we see some lightning!!
I have never seen such bright, colorful lightning, and such defined and long bolts of it! (even better than the night I drove out by myself to look at it) At one time a bolt snaked it way across the entire sky. It was so amazing.

I never realized how much I need Jacob in my life. He was one of my best friends last year, and this year I spent more time with Ben and Ryan. Who are total sweethearts. But they do a lot of the talking, and it can be hard for me to get a word in. Sometimes it's nice to just talk to Jacob, because he listens. And he has some good stories. But we talked about everything from rain and storms, to relationships, to painting. It was a good time. It wins my favorite night with Jacob of the whole year!

Homestead

yesterday a group of us- Ben, Billy, Andrew, Claire, Erica, and I- all went up to Homestead Heritage for lunch. It's this small menonite community that makes they most fantastic food. Not only did we enjoy a delicious meal, but we enjoyed walking around the farm, and petting the animals.
But my favorite thing was easily the strawberry rhubarb pie!
