a good night.

After a lovely dinner at Ryan's place (for dinner group), I decided it was a perfect night for a run. Today we had thunder and lightning, and lots of rain (for Utah, anyway), so the air was fresh(ish) and cool, aka: PERFECT weather for running. So, I ran to the temple, took a photo on my phone, and ran home listening to MoTab. After my run I fell dead under my tree. My tree, that's right. It's east of my building and I spend sunny afternoons, starry nights, rainy storms, and every other moment I can under it. It's my special place.

Tonight, as I was lying there dead, halfway through my favorite song - Consider the Lilies – I got a phone call from my friend. We talked for about half an hour about our weekends’, canyoneering, nieces and nephews, CNN, dates, and a whole lot of other happiness. Talking with him is always so great, and I always walk away feeling wonderful. We have a lot in common, conversation comes easily, and it feels so calm just being with him. He doesn't know it, but I think he is probably the most incredible person I have met. I could go on all night about him, but I am exercising self-control and will not.

Anyway, it's been a wonderful night and I am ready for a shower and some studying, and maybe even a banana sliced up with fresh cream poured over the top. Goodnight!
