The Rogers' Neighborhoood

school started today. i was pathetic. I woke up at 6:30 after not having slept much due to nerves waking me up every hour.. and the dog puking in the bed, which my WONDERFUL husband cleaned up.... anyway, i woke up and nobody else was up yet and i was doing ok. but the closer it got for me to leave the more shook up i became. i got jaron up about 10 min before i was supposed to leave becuase i was tired of being alone and then i couldn't stop crying. i got to school, cried on the phone as i was walking in to my mom, and then i was ok once class started. today wasn't so bad. i was looking for reasons to be positive. all day. i want to be more positive becuase i have had the worst attitude. so positive things about this semester: 1.the schedule is not what i thought it would be. it will be hard. and it will be a ton of work. it will not be impossible. 2. winter will melt into spring and i LOVE spring. every new season that comes every year i say "this is my favorite season! i love christmas!!" or "fall is so pretty and you can start wearing hats and mittens and scarves and.. BURNT ORANGE!!....." or " summer is the best!! swimming, sun, warmth, sundresses, green and ususally no school" but every time spring rolls around i get this happy feeling. ahhhh spring. i'd have to say so far spring of 2008 has been the overall best spring ever. I moved to a new town, met new friends and my life was completely different from anything i had ever had. I loved spring of 2008. School was ridiculously hard but i think i have selective memory when i think about days gone by and i tend to only remember the good, which is funny becuase i worry so much and think about what is wrong so much that you'd think that would be all i remember, but it isn't. I mostly only remember the good. like and meeting lindsay and sharon (above, at one of our fires in the back yard)and the whole rogers family.girls bible study on tuesday nights in what is now my living room with the windows down and being more independent than ever. starting to go to a wonderful church. getting involved with a wonderful choir and college ministry. caving.(after caving to the right). movies.(jaron and dave goofing of at the movie jaron asked me to go on a date with him to, that i turned him down to go to, and that the got a group of people to go so that i would come and so that he could still pay for my ticket..) playing at the park like 6 yr olds with a bunch of people older than me.. fires in lindsay and jaron's back yard(which i wouldn't have believed you if you told me in a little over a year would be my back yard)... suprise party for lindsays 23rd birthday...and yeah. it was so much fun. a smell that reminds me of this time of my life is japanese cherry blossom. If anyone knows lindsay rogers, they know that she goes through about a bottle of body spray a week, and i'm pretty sure she went through several of those that spring :) Anyways, i love spring. i love that the grass gets green and the temperatures get warmer. i love that first day when you can turn of the heat and open up the windows and smell your first smell of fresh spring air for months. i love it. so, that is my positive note for today and some for the semester. I LOVE SPRING!.....and it is coming........ just a couple more months!!!!
