Sometimes Weekends Are Too Short.

We all have those weekend we never want to see end.

The kind that make you wish Friday, Saturday and Sunday could be on a constant repeat button. 

The kind of weekend that make you HATE Sunday nights and YEARN for Thursday nights.

I just had one of those weekends. 

It was by far the happiest, most productive, most giggly and smiley and sunshiny I have been (and seen) in a LONG time. 

It was so, so good

I actually wanted to get up early so I would have more hours in the day.

I snuggled with lambs and with my sister and mom. 

I ate wonderful food in extremely large amounts.

I stayed up late, not to check my facebook, or to watch a movie on netflix, but to spend one last second laughing and talking with my friends. 

I got to sit in the sun, drinking a beer while doing some School reading. 

I got to eat oranges and asparagus and steak fresh from the farm...

I got to watch my beautiful friend give one of the most powerful speeches I have heard in a long time.

(My best friend Cassidy is a Senior this year and competed in the 97th Annual Almond Queen Pageant. She was running against some other incredible talented and beautiful girls and made me and her family proud by being first runner up!)  

I had a perfect weekend and yet,
After I got done with the 14 hour train ride back up to Oregon...

 I was walking around campus today and it still felt like home.

I was still wickedly giddy to see familiar faces on my way to classes and even more excited to see my roommates.

I have three more weeks up here until I am gone for spring term. 

I had the funnest time this weekend, but these next weekends are going to be jam packed...
I am going to make them

Filled with memories that I can keep with me where ever I go.

I may miss my family and home when I am away up here at school, but I know that Eugene is just as much my home and family-- so I need to make some lasting adventures these next couple weeks that I can keep in my mind where ever this spring term leads me.
SO, HERE WE GO!
 (But before we go anywhere, here are a few pictures of my weekend...in no particular order Enjoy!)

 

Dear Farm, Family and Friends,
You are the best in the world.
Thank you for filling my heart with passion,
my mind with goodness
and my soul with joy
You are the keepers and holder of my happiness.
You make me realize over and over again just how much I love life.
Thank you for creating a nest of warmth I can look forward to coming home to.
