The magic part has to do my lovely boyfriend, Scott… of course! We had an amazing day and night together last night. We just really connected and had a wonderful time. One of the elements that excites me the most is when we laugh together. It takes a lot for him to break into laughter so it makes me feel accomplished… heh But it also sparks something inside of me that I can’t really explain. I do know that I want these experiences to continue as intensely and as often as possible. He really is so amazing. Scott makes me feel like I need nothing else in the world, but our moments together. And at the same time, he gives me the motivation to strive for more.

So yes folks, it’s true. I’ve become extremely fascinated with painting facebook graffiti. I can’t help myself. Scott is very lucky though, because his facebook profile is now full of beautiful images made by his beautiful girlfriend. heh, partially kidding. 

Scott and I had some fun at the Shout It Out Tour with Less Than Jake headlining the other night. However, after that and for the next couple days we will not see each other at all. BOOOO. It’s been hard because we are at the point where we are closer than ever, but things like work and school are keeping us apart. Oh yeah, and there is the distance factor. And the gas factor. There are too many damn factors if you ask me!

We have such a good time together and I love it when he comes to my house and Lauren, he and I all hang out. It just always ends to quickly. I see amazing things for us in the future, but sometimes that future just seems so far out of reach. One day all of that will change though and we will be happy. I have a good feeling…

I go to the doctor and she tells me I have an abscess. Apparently, I have a little dimple at the top of my butt that has an opening and can lead to infection. Some people are born with it, some never have it. So she calmly tells me that she will numb the area and make a small incision. Then she will drain the infection out and put packing into the space under my skin. This will help it heal from the inside out. So I say okay because I have no choice really… And then slowly realize how much this sucks because I will not be able to go swimming at all on my beach vacation! And to make matters worse, my wonderful boyfriend Scott was coming on saturday to hang out and swim with us all. Now, because he is amazing, he still came and kept me company! But I was still pretty bummed and in a lot of pain.

Saturday morning my mom and/or dad were supposed to take out the packing strip and replace it with a new one. The second my dad took the packing out I started to cry. It was a horrible experience. They attempt for several minutes to put a new strip in, but were unsuccessful. So we called the doctor’s office and they said to just keep it out and go to a clinic the next day. Today at the clinic, he decided to to mess with it and see what the doctor says tomorrow. 

In all this, I’ve been reminded of one very important thing. That I have a supportive family that will be there to help and care for me when ever I need it. It’s not too often that I ask for help… especially from them. But I know that I can. And I’ve learned that I have a new member of my family, and that is Scott. He is always supportive even when he probably shouldn’t be and will care for me with the best of his abilities. I still had a wonderful time this weekend just hanging out with all four of them. Scott, Lauren and I had some good conversation at like 3 in the morning, too!

Anyway, maybe this wasn’t extremely entertaining, but it’s my life.

Next event of the day was boating! My sister and grandma had to leave which left my parents, Scott and I to go out on the boat. I know, I know, the words scary and awkward are the first in your mind. But I am thrilled to report that it was a very not scary and not awkward time. My parents were great and so was Scott of course.

We went tubing and my dad water-skied. It was lots of fun, but all three of us are in muscle pain today. I’d say it was worth it, but my arms might hear me! Then we ate our wraps and watched a beautiful sunset as we drove back to the ramp. The sun made a fusion of pink color around and above it and there were little sprinkles of clouds lining the pink. Then on the opposite side of the sun, there were these huge puffy clouds that were glowing in a gold, orange-ish color which reflected in a lovely way on the water underneath them. It was definitely and picture moment and I couldn’t decide which direction to look in. 

The last section of the day was the pool. Because we were already wet and gross, we thought it’d be fun to jump in and play some basketball. Lauren came home from work and joined us. Scott and I did pretty well playing hoops and I couldn’t stop thinking about how natural it all felt.

It’s a wonderful feeling when you can hang out with your boyfriend and your parents together and no one gets their head chopped off. It’s an even better feeling when they actually get along and have fun together. I am at a point in my life where I have no real complaints. I just want to freeze time and roll around in everything that’s happening.

It started off with my boyfriend and I waking up at eight thirty… I know, some of you are entirely dumbfounded! Mainly because my boyfriend (whose name is Scott btw) and I NEVER EVER wake up at any time close to eight thirty unless absolutely necessary. However, the point of all this is that we did, and it was amazing! We went to Big Cat Rescue which is basically a sanctuary for big cats that were rescued. haha We saw lions, tigers, leopards, servals, ocelots and many more. It was really an awesome experience. I think my favorite animal we saw was Sundari the leopard. She was beautiful and very friendly. She did flips for us and everything! 

We had a lot of fun, but had to go cool off at home for a while because it was extremely muggy. Then it was off to lunch and then we went shopping. Scott found this lovely purple shirt for me. That’s right, I don’t even need to look for clothes, he’ll just find some for me! lol

So all in all, it was a pretty sweet day. Later we watched the second Harry Potter movie. I know I’m a little late, but I really like those movies! And Scott helped me discover that. If you can’t tell by all the hints I’ve given, he is an amazing boyfriend and I’m a very lucky girl. I’m also going to brag about him a lot on here so GET USED TO IT!

Well, that’s it for now… I know, I know… already? I told you it would be boring.

I need to stop talking to myself.
