Day 140

   I dislike goodbyes. 
They make me sad. 
So, when I had to drop off my dad at the airport at 5 this morning...
Well, let's just say I was in a slump all day. 
It's known as the "saying goodbye to family" slump. 
I sat by myself. All day. 
It was lonely.
But it was somewhat expected, and not uncommon.
Maybe the next time a family member leaves I should have plans to keep myself occupied?
That sounds smart. 





In the end, I'm thankful to have friends who laugh with me.
I'm thankful to have a God, who is all powerful.
And I am thankful to have a family, even when they are far away. 


Also, these pictures were thoroughly edited in Picnik.... whoever knew that department stores have BAD lighting?
The top picture is one of the dresses I am considering on getting for graduation. Who knows.

These types of goodbyes are very sad. I guess you'll be seeing the rest of your family very soon, though?

I really like the gathered-skirt look on that top dress. I've never tried one on myself, but thing it looks very pretty on just about any woman I've seen wearing one.

I hate goodbyes too. Grrr. These next couple of days are full of them. Prayers are appreciated because I'm having a hard time with them. :(
