In Particular

I think when you wake up to the sound of hot-air balloons right outside your window, you just know. When the Rocky Mountains are beaming for you on your drive to work, and lightning storms start around 3 pm every day, and the majority of the population is out playing in the wilderness…you just know that this place is special. But of all the characteristics which make Colorado a gem, the sunsets are the most glorious part. Every night I wait for them like a child waiting for fireworks. Better than any show on TV, better than any performance I’ve seen live, they just take your breath away. Every night I wait for them.

Spring break has begun.

With my last and only final on yesterday for “Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings” (so interesting right?), spring has officially hit the ground running.

Got a bit of hiking and running in, two trips to the arboretum on campus, two trips to the beach (one for star-gazing and the other for reducing the whiteness that is ME), one trip downtown (which felt like the most perfect afternoon in July…sigh), and lots and lots of resting.

It’s weeks like this when I am reminded that San Luis Obispo is a gem. She boasts of the outdoors with endless nooks and crannies to be explored, and she convinces you that she existed long before a campus full of artificially-lit classrooms and studios did. It just takes a week without class and an extra hour of sunlight to realize it.

…

This week makes me want these:
summer nights–full of hearty conversation and giggles.
summer nights–in Italy.
summer nights–just so.

Milan is keeping secrets.

I’ve heard that Italian men are creepy.
But by the looks of Mr. Perfect on his perfect turquoise vespa,
I’d say the rumors are severely false.

disclaimer: Brita claimed him first.

Now we know where to find our future husbands.
