Minute by minute.

I'd really like the summer of 2010 to start over, because I'm finally starting to enjoy it.

My days and minutes have been cramped full down to the second, and time seems to be flying by.

I've spent that time doing many, many things.. making wonderful memories, and learning life lessons along the way.

I...

Traveled to Alaska, and had the time of my life with my wonderful family.

Made a pitstop to see Edward Cullen along the way in Forks, Washington.

Took pictures for lots of incredible, {and cute} clients.

Fell in love with my job all over again.

{Especially with the great conversation and company that comes from an hour of cleaning teeth}

Turned 23 and bought my very own house.

...and I faced heartbreak unlike any other.

wow. that may have been the first time i've been able to type that out. such a hard thing to say.

Out of all that this summer has had in store for me, I am happy.

I am alive.

I'm surrounded by wonderful co-workers, family, and friends who have helped me out far more than they can ever imagine.

I'm putting my feet back on the ground slowly, and I am starting to have fun with life all over again.

It's fun to find yourself after months of not knowing who you were anymore.

And as scary and hard as it was, I'm not giving up on love.

And I never will.

Never. Ever.
