summer love.

summer twenty-thirteen was a beautiful one.
it was runs with people who were real, unmasked personalities. endless smiles. the strongest team bonding.
weeks spent in new places- camps, bonding with so many new people, and so many new friends;
but also familiar places and people: it was my last year of girls camp, & the annual family Lake Powell trip.
it was almost 100% stress free. days filled with anything, or absolutely nothing.
it was farewells every sunday- maybe the best kind of goodbye's. young men and women, dotting the world, spreading such an incredible true gospel.
and of course, it was nights with him. endless talking. happiness, & so much laughter.
cheeks that ached from smiling. lying under the stars. fireworks. rain. love. kisses...
it was a glimpse of real love.

and it's killing me that it's all over.
