Singin', and Swingin' in the Rain!

Last night was gorgeous. Betsye came and got me around 11 or 11:30 to go on a walk with her and our friend Melissa because it was wonderful outside and a break from life was in order. After shadow dancing and stalking Hannah and Dan (the nice kind of stalking, nothing creepy), we went over to Kinney to stalk Trevor and Matthew (again, nice kind of stalking). Turns out, Dustin was in the room with the guys, so he got to be part of the fun! We serenaded the boys and convinced them to go walking with us, and we ended up at a school's playground. So, not only did I get to forget about everything crappy, I got to be a kid again. The school has this giant map of the U.S. painted on the concrete, so we played on that, but also on the jungle gym...which was awesome...it brought me back to recess. After almost breaking the swingset, we headed back to the dorms because it was past our bedtimes. On our way back it started pouring, so Dustin and I walked down the middle of the street (it was way past 7 PM, so there were no cars. Little towns. Go figure.) and enjoyed the rain. Matthew and Betsye joined us at one point, and then Matthew and I proceeded to bust out our duet from "Rent," so it was pretty much amazing. We had a really great night. It was nice to escape from everything for a couple of hours and just enjoy each others' friendship. I really do have the best friends, and I love having opportunities to spend time with them and just appreciate who they are.
