Her curves.

I took a mini one day vacation today. As soon as my work day ended at 2:30pm I was swept away by my father who chauffeured me out to my very first home ever. The place where I spent the first 12 years of my life. The house I originally called home.

This place has no paved road that goes to it. It is an oasis of sorts. Nestled in the middle of the woods, distanced from people and the sounds of man. (I know it sounds like I am romancing this, but it really feels as if we are separated from everyone here.)

My father just put in a huge above the ground pool and it was most certainly 90+degrees today. There is no better recipe for fun than a pool, a once in a very long while visit with my family, and cook out/fire cooked foods. I jumped in the pool for a while, played with goats and dogs (not in the pool), rode an ATV with my little sister out into some great wilderness and shot some beautiful photos (Which I'll post soon. Promise.), talked with my grandparents (this really emotionally phased me), and had a pretty long rather serious discussion with my father about zombies.

I just needed some time away from everything in Greensburg. My life there is far from bad, but sometimes I just need a break from it. I missed the weird almost silence of the woods. Nothing but the sounds of crickets and frogs. The sight of total and very real pitch blackness only occasionally interrupted by the flash of fireflies. I love the intense quiet and calm here. It makes me feel a lot less like I'm about to panic. For the last 9 hours I really forgot about work, worries, money, stress. I just kicked back and relaxed. I laughed. I told stories. I related to my father. We drank beers, shared food, and sang Dire Straits and Foreigner.

I feel well relaxed. I want to do some morning yoga outside tomorrow if weather permits. I'm actually almost excited about sleeping on the couch here a little change can go a long way.
