joyful girl

it’s been a productive day – we went to church this morning, took a long walk and had a picnic at the old deaf school park this afternoon, i wrote two papers for school (and am working on a third now), and – most exciting – i booked our tickets to go to portland in june!  this is a trip we’ve been planning for awhile with my hometown friends who are now scattered across the country (and morocco), and now it’s feeling very real!  i love to travel, i love airports, i love exploring new cities, and i really love reunions with these particular friends. hooplah!  also, i was able to get the flights for about half the price that they were last week.  this, my friends, is a good day!

also good – the weather is absolutely gorgeous, the semester is almost over, and summer will be here soon…
