stars

So I finally heard back from the soldier I was worried about earlier. Thank Gosh.

Now I'm laying outside under the stars, listening to the Goo-Goo Dolls, a very mellow playlist for such a mellow evening with a glass of wine to relax and unwind. It's been a pretty decent day. I dyed my hair bright red just for the last summer of my civilian life until I get out of the Military, then I will probably do something like it again. But that's four years or so. A long time to go.

I was thinking about this city, I do like Vancouver, but I'm homesick. I really find this place epicly beautiful and am grateful for the memories I have. I don't want to lose those and I won't. Plenty of pictures, tons of evidence of how beautiful. I had fun here, for a while. Then it got to be depressing. I mean, where is summer this year? It seems to have missed the memo that it started already. Not that I mind so much, when I consider what I'm doing right now. Enjoying the crisp night air, laying on a blanket, writing this blog while staring up at the sky. The stars are breathtaking tonight. I wish I didn't have so many reasons to leave, but there aren't enough reasons to stay to even balance the equation. It's time for me to go home.

As I mentioned I dyed my hair "Little Mermaid" red, which I think looks awesome. I have felt like I needed something totally different than how I was before. And now I have it.

Anyways, I want to listen to these tunes and stare at the sky...

Love, Leah

Forged in the fire lit long ago, stand next to me, you'll never stand alone. I'm last to leave, but the first to go, Lord, make me dead before you make me old.
