Possibly Perfection :)

Today was the last day of school.
It took forever in getting here, yet at the same time the year feels like it went by so fast!
After sitting outside for 5 or 6 hours signing year books, I basically look like a lobster.
Or a tired raccoon - for some reason the area right around my eyes never gets burned, even though I never wear glasses or anything. I guess the sun just wants me to look funny, as if my farmer's tan and terrible sock lines didn't already do that! :)

But you know what?
Despite my funny lines and my sore hand, today was near perfection.

I got to tell all (well, most) of my friends how much I loved them.

I got to talk to one of my bestest friends ever!!

I got to eat my first snow cone of summer - 2 actually :) what a lucky duck I am!

I got to get big slobbery kisses from my baby brother (his first tooth is coming in, so it sorta hurt!!).

 

(sorry...I intended to post just one, but once I got started, he was just too cute to stop!)

I got to read and read and read and even read some more, without any guilt for not doing my homework.

I got to sit in the sunshine and enjoy life.

I got to play with my little brothers.

I got to experience my first taste of a Snoasis snow cone (it was completely ah-mazing!)

(this applies to snow cones as well!)

I got to enjoy being me, living life without it being scripted for me.

I got to do a lot of wonderful things today - sometimes I forget how blessed I am to have the ability to "get to" do so many things.
And the best part is? I have at least 80 more days of this :)

Perfection?

Maybe not, but it's pretty darn close!!!

So here's to summer.

adventures.

memories.

laughing.

best friends.

learning - not from textbooks!

growing.

living life.

being me.

 Trust me, I'll love it :)
