There are those moments that I really love living here.

Like those nights where I can stop at the majority of my friend's houses. And we can all get in a car and just go where the wind takes us.

When we joke about going to school and play out scenarios in our minds:
"Oh hey guys. So wanna go meet at the school? Play some capture the flag? Go catch cats behind Taco Bell? Just meet at Safeway. What's open right now? Only Jack-in-the-Box? Let's go. Hey meet at Vista."

And the answer to all of these are something like:
What are you talking about?

Which one?

And my personal favorite...

What kind of childhood did you have??

When we go into Safeway and to buy a bagel and a donut at 10:30 (why not?) and then get asked by the people in front of us if we're 21. And then those people ask the cashier why the store isn't open 24 hours. She says, "Because the only people around here out that late are tweakers, thieves, and drunks." And it took everything in me not to laugh. If only you could see those two... (No judgments though!)

When the boys make me play zombies. I. Am. Horrible.

When we go somewhere and we automatically start looking for people we know. The more the merrier!

When someone comes in to Tutti Frutti and the recognize me from somewhere else. (Today it was the office. Other times it's been the play or cheer or something else from school. People really are always watching.)

When we can go and look at the stars. Every single night. And when the moon is bright enough to reflect on the lake.

I'm a pretty lucky girl when it comes down to it.

Took this on my phone. No editing necessary.  Loooove where I live.
