so i am eagerly awaiting the day that i get out of this house and go down to north carolina for a week. i love that beach...sigh...i also await the day not too long after that when i go back to richmond. 8 days to north carolina time, then 16 days after that week in north carolina comes richmond time. very exciting.

in the meantime i have been helping my family around the house, and made a little cash doing it. which feels good. now i can take justin out to ice cream today to aid in his recovery from his wisdom teeth operation 3 days ago. also i have been reading lots of books. i finally got to the library so just about every night now i end up nodding off with a book in my hands. this weekend my brother will be playing in a jazz festival with his big latin jazz band and we are all very excited for him. it's a big event, quite possibly the biggest crowd he will have been exposed to up to this point. but thats all ive got to report at this point. i will tell you about what ive been thinking about relationships later.
