.the.best.medicine. - .run.away.

.Adventure .must .start .with .running .away .from .home.


before I start this blurb, I just want to highlight my weekend! I went to a masquerade with some friends....Mr. C and I went to try and find some masks at Michael's....we couldn't find ANY....everything was all sold out! its a classy function we were going to....and we had to be dressed formally wearing masks...so...there were all the beautiful girls with sparkly masks and dresses...then there was me.







surprised?






ha ha! we couldn't find a mask...so we had to be innovative! it was the biggest hit of the night by far...people would be like hey, wheres your mask??...and C and I would stand side by side and do this...





it was a fun weekend. I always have fun with Mr C. no matter what is going on in our crazy lives, we ALWAYS laugh. and I think that's a really important quality in someone I want to be with. laughter. forgetting everything and just rolling on the floor laughing sometimes. C and I have come a long way. I respect him a lot, and I know (after some debate over the topic) that he respects me too, we both grew up a lot this summer. I had a soul to find, and I think he had some searching to do of his own. as it stands, we havent found either of those things we were looking for yet. but I think we decided, after lots of tears, and talking, and debate over what was best for us...that the best medicine....will always be:

............................................................I am 4 days away from my great escape!


I went to Mountain Equipment co-op today with T.F.S and got some things....you know...serious backpacking things... ha ha like a headlamp, a quick dry towel, some NASTY pants that are a quick drying lightweight material. I guess jeans is a big no no for countries that are sometimes wet...they take forever to dry! a compass, a journal, a moneybelt. the list goes on and on. how im going to fit these things into my back pack and then cart around with me for so long I have NO idea. haha but im sure i'll work it out. im almost officially .GONE. sometimes I have these massive moments...even hours of self-doubt. but its like everything else i have done in my life...I doubt everything at one point. I used to doubt I could make it thru a day. but you push thru. you take it for all its worth. I have worked hard to get to this point in my life... .IM .GOING .TO .SOUTH .AMERICA!
