love

I want to fall more in love, each day, for the rest of my life. I want to share my good times and bad times with someone who cares deeply about my well being, and I care for theirs. I want to soak up every moment I have with my life-long love. I want to hold them for a long time, be close to them, and kiss them first thing when I see them (assuming nobody is around of course). Not that I don't want to kiss in front of anyone, but that my love is my own, and nobody elses.

to all you avid bloggers out there...

i applaud you. i have not kept up with this for half a year...yikeessss. i'll write on it now but just don't get your hopes up as to when a new post will come again :) [whoever you are haha].

it's definitely time to go back to school! i have loved every minute of being home but there isn't just a ton to do here and after watching every movie you own, coming up with new daily activities with your sister and monotonous job searching...it's time to head back south to cs!

what i do love about home though is:

-you get to clear your head and relax

-i have a weird urge to bake things

-my sister is here

-my parents are here

-we basically have every animal living here right now (old mcdonalds farm for sure...)

-i have room to actually live in [keni can attest to the size of baby brink aka booty bounce]

-my sister is here [which also means unlimited "that 70's show"]

-homemade meals every night!

-unlimited fires in the fireplace

but i can't wait to see all of my sweet college fernds in a few days :) i'm so blessed!

now i'll go watch.....

all my love,

lana

happy 4th and july

hat an amazing weekend at the lake and happy fourth of july to everyone!!! there are going to be so many exciting things happening in july. but the first thing i am wanting to do is revamp those ongoing goals! for those who would like to join in, i learned from sb to make 1. social 2. financial 3. intellectual 4. physical and 5. spiritual goals for yourself and if it is something to be accomplished, always remember to set a deadline.

i am really missing all of my friends that are abroad and just in other parts of the country/state of texas! know that i am praying for each and everyone of you daily and love you SO much :) holding down cs for you but not for much longer! hurry home.

ps. and last bit of fun info: condoleezza rice and lou holtz and tom papa will be at the los angeles conference in august. looking forward to it!

for all of you news junkies out there, today, president obama appointed general david petraeus to be the new us military commander! i am really excited about this because i got to see him speak at the a&m commencement this past may :) he is a very experienced general in the afghan war and will show excellent leadership and integrity in this new position!! click the link to read up about it more --> petraeus

ALSO! usa world soccer won their game against algeria this morning thanks to a "dramatic goal" scored by landon donovan. what a champion! haha (i sounded like a real journalist until the ridiculous comment at the end...) but it is really exciting for the us of a :)

i would like to thank twitter for the up to date information on these two events and keeping me in the loop. also, the world wide web, the latimes , and technology in "general" (petraeus..cheese).

now that i have missed the beginning of class with a test tomorrow, i guess i will have to go study now...for all of my world travelers, news enthusiasts, political activists, pine cove-ing sister, and fellow ags?....until another day, ciao :)
