My loving arms are for you...

"Spent all week waiting.
Now my mind's on you.
Hold my loving arms,
my loving arms are for you."

Congratulations to Meg & Jon on the most beautiful wedding in Newport, RI last weekend! There are certain couples that you know are meant to be together forever. Those that love each other unconditionally with a fire so sincere and real. It's been an absolute privilege to be so close to two such amazing people these last six years, and I was more than honored to stand up there with you both when you said your vows. You guys set the standard for true love. You keep us all believing that it does in fact exist in this crazy world. 

"I won't give up on us. Even if the skies get rough.
I'm giving you all my love. I'm still looking up.
Still looking up."

 

I should be sleeping...

I should be sleeping. I should be exhausted. This last month has been an absolute whirlwind, which should have me pining for the comfort of my own bed and an actual 8 hours of sleep... but instead I'm wide awake. I'm thinking about everything that's coming in the next two months. That's it! That's all that's left! Packing, moving, a new apartment, an empty room in Boston where my whole life used to reside. I'm thinking about how different my life is now, compared to a year ago. A year ago, I was exactly where I thought I would be after college. I was surrounded by friends and family. I could pack the car and make a day trip to my parent's house in CT on a complete whim... and I never worried about falling asleep in an empty house because there never was one. In two months... well, I guess I don't need to tell you that a day trip to CT is out of the question.

When it comes right down to it, this was my choice. Nobody signed those papers for me. This is what I wanted. Want. I need to stay in present tense. I want this. I want to challenge myself. To prove that I am not only capable of moving across the country alone, but also able to enjoy it. Then why does it keep me up every night?

Don't let people just happen to you...
