Good Place

It's been a while since I've posted an update blog! Summer 2013 was busy and full of travel. Starr and I went to Helena for my 21st birthday and our schedule was full. We did a boat tour at the Gates of the Mountains, a train tour of Helena, toured the Montana museum and did a short tour of the original governor's mansion. The next weekend we drove to Great Falls, meaning to go to the Kip Moore concert but we saw how short the lines were for the fair rides and ended up spending the evening running from ride to ride. We took a trip to Missoula and a trip to Billings around end of July/beginning of August, too. Starr got a new job and is now the Deputy Juvenile Probation Officer. She'll be finished at the club on Friday and start full time at her new job next Tuesday! Exciting!

As of August 10th Starr and I have lived in Montana for a year. It's been a year of change, that's for sure. But almost every change was for the better. I feel like a lot of growth has happened. Growing up is hard but finding yourself is worth it. I'm trying to get back into the habit of writing more, but after not writing for so long, I realized that writing in a setting like this makes your vulnerable. It's difficult to get back to that point of honesty, kind of feels like a muscle I haven't exercised. I'll play catch up with some pictures!

Walter's mad face

Ready for her 1st day! I told her to give me some sass.

My Day (Time)

1 o'clock is mundane, Books, background noise Polished nails

3 o'clock weighs heavy On the lids of my eyes, Caffeine, ticking clock

5 o'clock takes me home, To our bed where I belong Next to my sleeping love.

8 o'clock little spoon, big spoon Skin, blankets, hot breathe Perfect serenity

10 o'clock see you later Kisses linger on my sleepy mouth Chaste, but comforting

3 o'clock waiting, restless, eager For my half to become whole With her return

7 o'clock togetherness blankets us My heart is complete When she is close

9 o'clock goodnight Off to work, I'll miss you I love you, sleep well

11 o'clock preparing little sister For the night, sleep or not

Then and Now

happiness was

gravel roads, 

gossip at all hours,

vibrating speakers,

sneaking around,

being silly,

constant laughing,

no sleep,

happiness was

my best friend.

happiness is 

peaceful nights,

toothy grins,

her presence,

tiny miracles,

new life,

selfless love,

remembering moments,

happiness is

my best friend.
