It's Been Real

I just owe all 8 of my followers (and those who maybe creep my blog and don't follow (; ) a big apology for being incognito with posting.
It takes mad discipline to keep it up, props to you guys and your fun and crafty lives.

But my oh my, do I have news for you.

So now that spring semester is out, I have moved back home for the summer.
Moving home isn't exactly every college student's glory moment, but hear you me, I am counting my blessings that it worked out this way.
I had originally planned to rent a house with three other girls, but one thing lead to another and I no longer felt comfortable in that living situation. Backing out wasn't an easy thing to do, given that it was last minute and everyone was left unprepared. I suffered a lot of repercussions from doing so, but I feel incredibly happy with my decision in the end and know it was the right thing.
I am so thankful to my mom and my soon-to-be stepdad, Aaron, for their support and help in getting me out of a messy situation. I understand now the importance of following my gut and trusting in my prayers, that they will always be answered, and in the end, everything will be okay.
All my stuff has been hauled out of the dorms and packed into my small room at home.
Maybe if I'm lucky, my mom will let me move into the basement.
That would just complete my cool I-live-at-home existence.
But it's free, and the food is good, and I feel loved.
Now I can save money to buy a new car, and maybe move out with my bestie, Miyuki.
...Love that idea.

So, here's the start of my summer.
I don't usually watch TV, but I HAVE TO watch Animal Cops. It's my coffee in the morning; gets me through the work day.
This morning's episode was extra good.
18 inches of straight up dog poop caked all over this woman's carpet. DAMN YOU, SUSAN! What were you thinking letting 50 dogs take over your house?! The woman has to sleep on the porch.
It's comparable to watching the Jazz game, really.

Aside from working 38 hours a week, this summer has potential to be amazing.
My mom is getting married in Hawaii in June, and is taking my brother and me.
Not only is this HAWAII, but it is also my birthplace and the islands in which my parents met and were married.
It's funny that a place with such a strong history for my mom and dad would be somewhere she would want to go back.
It's also funny that my dad took his new wife there on a honeymoon just a month ago.
It's almost like they both wanted to go back to start over.
Cheers to their new lives.
Cheers to a successful first year at the U.
Cheers to this sassy British ginger who wonderfully covered an originally wonderful song.
More to come!
