“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” -Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.” -Rumi

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

“They were JUST graduating from PRE-SCHOOL!”

20 May, 2005 /

It was the 6th grade dance tonight. It’s was more like the ‘you’re graduating from 6th grade and going into 7th…now go meet the hundreds of kids you’re going to be thrown into middle school with.”

Kara doesn’t have a boyfriend, but her best ‘guy’ friend is Kyle. They went to preschool together, lived next door to each other…they “get” each other and so it was fitting when neither had a date to go with each other.

And me being me…took a couple hundred pictures. No really, It was like 270 pictures. I can’t even imagine prom night.

Before I get to the pictures…please say a quick prayer for August95 and maybe go to her site and wish her well for when she gets home from the hospital.
If you’re reading this August…*big ol’ hug* Get Well Soon Girl!

Disclaimer to these pictures: I know, I know..I am SCREWED when they are teenagers.

Spitting image of me. I claim all of these girls as my own!

Shake your grove thang!

Hope you’re all having a great weekend!
