Sunshine

so, there is nowhere to lay out and tan here...cause i'm nowhere near a pool and am not about to brave the sound in a bathingsuit on a nice day in seattle. because i'm loving the sunshine and am desperate for color before the summer, i've been laying out in front of my apt building on the grass. it's amazing how many people walk by our building. i've not noticed before. haha. most of the time, i don't even see them till they've passed. jack johnson playing on my ipod and the bright sun keeping my eyes closed makes it really easy to forget that i'm laying on the grass in a bathingsuit. i figure if anyone asks, all i have to do is say, "i'm from california". i think it explains everything. wonderful sunny days are not common here like they are back home- i want to soak them in! i've gone to the gym every day this week. :) determined to be in shape by the end of the summer. so tired of not liking my body. so i figured, it's time to do something about it. :) i'm so so so excited to be home. i leave in one week. i can't wait to be with my "little bean" again. she makes me heart happy. we've made all kinds of plans. i can't wait to start crossing things off our list. :)
