....
Did you know that I loved you or were you not aware?
You're the smile on my face
And I ain't going nowhere
I'm here to make you happy, I'm here to see you smile
I've been wanting to tell you this for a long while
What's gonna make you fall in love?
I know you got your wall wrapped all the way around your heart
You don't have to be scared at all...
You can't fly unless you let yourself fall
Well, I can tell you're afraid of what this might do
Cause we got such an amazing friendship and that, you don't wanna lose
Well, I don't wanna lose it either
I don't think I can stay sitting around while you're hurting...so take my hand
Well, did you know that you're an angel who forgot how to fly?
Did you know that it breaks my heart every time to see you cry
Cause I know that a piece of you's gone
Every time [things go] wrong I'm the shoulder you're crying on
And I hope by the time that I'm done with this song that I figure out
What's gonna make you fall in love?
I know you got your wall wrapped all the way around your heart
Don't have to be scared at all...
But you can't fly unless you let yourself,
You can't fly unless you let yourself fall
I will catch you if you fall
...
But if you spread your wings
You can fly away with me
But you can't fly unless you let...
yourself fall
So fall in love...
[let yourself fall]
Spent the weekend in the lower 48 and I survived. It was a whirlwind trip, but worth it to see a beautiful couple married for time and all eternity! Next year, I will try and schedule a trip where I am not rushing around to see people and actually spend some time with family and friends.
Though it was quite warm for me, I made a goal not to complain, or to look like I was dying from the heat. In fact, when I returned to Anchorage, my friend said she was shocked that she didn't receive any texts about the heat. I told her that even though no one but she or I would know I was complaining about the weather, I still wanted to stay true to my effort and not complain. But just so you know, playing and hour and a half of tennis in 85 degree weather was a little tortuous. We had fun, nevertheless. Actually, I played kind of awesome, so, that's okay too! =D
I was able to see Victoria and Max! Haven't seen them in years so that was a wonderful treat! First time all three girls had been together in a very long time. All in the same trip, I saw Aunt Miriam, Uncle Wes, and Aunt Louise. 
I came home with more than what I left with. I purchased a used goalie helmet (way cheaper than if I had purchased it here) and already have most of my art concept work completed. I also have some pieces of jewelery that belonged to my great-great grandmother Anderson, and great grandmother as well. My painting that was given to me also survived the trip! I was terribly worried about it, but all is well in Denmark. Or in this case, Alaska. Oh, I also brought my racquet with an amazing string job as well. I swear it's true, but the current stringing is incredible and makes me play like I am actually good! Haha!
