a bittersweet goodbye

We go home today.
6:15. On the bus. All the way back to Oregon. I'm not sure what a twenty hour bus ride is going to be like. I'm feeling bittersweet right now. I love it here so much, but i'm dying to see my family and sleep in my OWN bed. It's been a good two weeks. Two weeks that i will always remember.

And even though havasupai didn't come, i can still say i have some rad everlasting memories. Definitely.

Yesterday was a good last day. 2 words: WATER PARK. (note: watching the boys take coke cans out of the trashcans just so they could get a discount on their tickets was rather adorable.) Really, you had to be there. Baha.

I'm leaving california with a smile.(and a lot of new friends.)

Have a jolly day.

Love,
mandy.

"name one time i didn't like being here..."

I don't think i want to go home.
THE END.

It's been so much more than i hoped two weeks in california would be like. REALLY.
The trip got twisted up, but everyone went with it. And must i say it was beautiful. Every single bit. Pictures coming soon. I promise.
Endless hours of driving this week. But i didn't mind it at all. Because when you're with uh-mazing people, it's like you don't even notice.(but one thing you do notice is the country music. Sorry. I don't think i'll ever LOVE you.) I've officially been to nine states now. O yeah baby(o; Seeing the grand canyon was like nothing words can describe. Go see it for yourself. It will be worth it. And cliff jumping is my new best friend. I liiike that. It was a rather perfect trip.
Dear Roses,
THANK YOU.(x100)
Leaving saturday is looking so very turdy right now. Seriously. 20 hours on a bus. Trying not to think about it that much. I'm coming back. One day.
Today is the beach maybe. I don't know, but i'm looking forward to it.

Have a jolly day lovelies.(cause i know i will.)

Yours,
mandy.

it's probably true...

I'm most likely having an uh-MAZING time right now.

Love, Mandy.<3

it's just cause we're from OREGON.

Soda is soda.
(call it pop and you die.)

California= HEART.
I've decided to stay here.
Be a hobo.
Sounds kind of delightful if you ask me.

Right now i have "believe" written on my hand. Problems with havasupia. Sometimes i could cry i want to go so bad. That darn rain. JUST KILL ME NOW. So close yet so far.

The past couple of days have been smashing like heck.
Dear drum circle, i would visit you everyday if i could.
Dear beach, i could eat you up.
Dear first time pumping gas, haha. i went 1cent over. sorry marcus.
Dear new friends, you are all UH-MAZING.
Dear shakespear play, beautiful.
Dear jack in the box, i guess i can say i loved you.
Dear Ho Ho Ramen, you will always just be Ho Ho Ramen.
Dear "lord of the rings", i'm so not that into you.
Dear roses,
i liiiiike you all. (heart)

Today is hot.
And bittersweet.
(manly movie night tonight maybe. baha.)

Hope life is so much better than better.

Love from,
the girl with a pink shirt.

We went on a picnic. Yes, a picnic. And i loved it. Packed a little red crate with yummo and hopped in the car down to the park to meet ria. It was rather smashing.
Afterward, bell and i walked around town. We didn't even know where we were going. Pointlessly roaming i guess.*smile*
(Note: my skirt blew up walking across the street.)

RECAP.
(my week)

Puppet shows. Done. And boy am i glad. My arm feel like it's been through a tsunami. Seriously. Two whole hours of holding my arm straight up.
Note: the last performance was the best. it always is.

And...

Bell blew out her candles this week. Finally. She is now officially nineteen. Good for her. I stuck them in a klondike. (After searching through the whole entire house for something to put them in.) We are practically cakeless.

I Gardened today. And i didn't enjoy it. Not in the least. Though every minute of it i was telling myself "i like this." Lying to myself didn't work. Darn.

Skype. is. love.
(most definitely.)

Tomorrow will be good.
Just cause i don't know what i'm going to do. I like days like that.

Happy week loves.

-me.
xoxo
