flo.ri.da. florida.

i love it here! there are palm trees everywhere! and lots of different kinds. big ones. small ones. regular ones. this state is awesome. :) i love bring away from greensboro - i needed this! i love miami. i don't so much love miami traffic. i love the calm mornings while val is working. i love traveling with izzy and getting to know her better. (man she gets GREAT gas mileage!) i love the good food i've had. i love pollo tropical (thanks priscilla). i love the miami heat. i love that they've won twice since i've been here. i, of course, love lebron... still. i love reading the books i've been saving. i love catching up with nephi. i love singing sugarland to the top of my lungs with the sunroof open. i love have sun-kissed skin. i love meeting new people and making new friends. i love priscilla's family for letting us stay with them. i love betty's food. i love how hispanic people kiss each other on the cheek. i love jose's preciousness. i love the beach. i love the taste of the salt on my lips. i love the feel of the sun on my back - until it burns my back. but most of all, i love my eternal bestie, valerie. i love being with her. i love our laughter. i love singing phantom of the opera or lady gaga or maroon 5 or luke bryan (yes, we are musically diverse) at the tops of our lungs. i love our road trips and dancing in the car. i love sharing secrets, sharing jokes, people watching with her and most of all, sharing our time together! she may be a sore loser, and she may be a thunder fan (booo!) but she is an EXCELLENT navigator, wonderful singer, great secret keeper and, most importantly, my EB and i thank her for that. <3
