old friends = breath of fresh air

I’m going out of town after work today.

I’m headed to Lansing to stay with my crazy friend Sarah from high school. Some of my best ‘summer-after-senior-year memories’ include her. (C’mon you’ve got a forbidden skinny-dipping story or two, don’t you? Admit it). She’s one of those friends who unwittingly brings out the best, most alive version of yourself. You know, the one that you didn’t know existed. She just has a knack for making you feel okay about who you are. Plus, her hair always looked fantastic, stuck up in every direction (like feathers) with bobby pins. Wild, untamed, and cute, just like her. Hanging out with Sarah just felt like summer to me. It should be fun. I’ll have stories to share, I’m sure.

In the meantime, I’m going to leave you some songs that I’ve been listening to lately to entertain you until I get back. Enjoy yourself this weekend.
