Happy Sad Fun Stress

Well, the time is creeping up on me. Tonight I went to see Mama Mia with the parents to de-stress a bit. It worked, I think.... Yesterday we had an impromptu wienie roast at Boulevard Park (previously known as my living room) and it was a beautiful stormy day. Mmm....

I never will get enough of the people I love. It's funny, I fall in love so easily: with friends and family, places, eras, and especially beauty. As I say my good-byes in these days leading up to my departure, I keep thinking about how much I've struggled in the past with wanting more and more of the people and places I love. I want to see them every day, hear their frustrations, and be there for their laughter and inside jokes. I want them to confide in me, to need me. I want to know what it's like to live their lives and fix all of their problems. I want to find all the nooks and crannies of Bellingham, Orcas, and Tacoma. I want to eat those sherbet sunsets with a giant spoon. Each time I move, my heart breaks a little.

So enjoy these little snippets from the past few days and weeks; a glimpse into the old Jamie World.
