california.

i'm here.
it's weird.
things just aren't the same. not that i expected things to stay the same, but...well i don't know.
it was really nice to see a couple of people though. i do miss some of my friends.
it was also really nice having dinner at my aunt and uncles and seeing my cousins. i miss parker!

tomorrow it's off to oklahoma. woohoo?

i'm anxious to go back to boise.
i miss it.
i miss someone.

i'm hoping this roadtrip will be fun though.
we stuffed the mini cooper. it's so packed, my mom and i got new shoes today and had to figure out where to put them. hah.
speaking of...i went into the van's store on topanga for the first time. the one that looks super old.
i never knew they made vans in so many colors! it was amazing!

anyway...

goodbye california.
hello oklahoma.
idaho, see you soon!

happy birthday daddy.

i miss you more and more everyday.
i would give anything to give you one more hug,
to hear one more of your stupid jokes,
to listen to one more of your lectures,
to go on one more of your long "shortcuts",
to go fishing with you one more time,
to go on one more job site with you,
to eat your delicious cooking one more time,
to hear your voice one last time.

i love you daddy.
i know you're in a happier place watching over all of us.



Fisherman's Prayer
_____________________

God grant that I may live to fish,
until my dying day,
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray,
When in the Lord's safe landing net,
I'm peacefully asleep,
That in his mercy I be judged,
As big enough to keep.

the chaos of the world we inhabit is all too often overwhelming,
boxing us in,
trapping our abilities.
close your eyes and put on the headphones
and let the music take you away.
step inside a world where you are truly uninhibited,
free from the noise,
free from the chaos,
free from the chains that hold you back.
drowning out society,
your fears and anxieties pushed to the side,
break free and let your inner voice be heard.
leave your mark.
