The days begin and end in sunlight

I am so full of life! I can smile, and I hope.. I'm shining. The long summer days have whipped past, leaving me shocked, dazed, and happy. There is still the month of August, and it will be a particularly busy one. I know, deep down, that it will be a sad one too. That is something I hide in the back of my mind and hope will fade. I do not wish to face it.
Today is Friday. It's pouring beautiful rain outside, and when I woke to that I could do nothing but smile. I love the slight chill so that I have enough gusto to put on socks, and how wet I'm going to get this afternoon when I go for a run. Aaron is home from Norway, but I do not think I will coax him still to do something with me. He's busy cleaning up.. something is changed in him, and I'm guessing that is due to his sitting in the church meetings. I do not care, though. He's still my Aaron, and we'll have an amazing rest-of-the-summer together!
Sometimes I credit myself with my ability to be persuasive. I told Sam yesterday that I would very much like to spend some time with him apart from my BROTHER Sam and I shooting at his house Saturday. He said sure, and I proposed tonight after he's finished his shift at the pool. And turns out, he's taking me out to dinner. How nice is that? I did not expect it, and I suspect it will be more than a humorous affair, knowing Sam and I.
Well now I have other things to do. Aaron and I need some plans:)
