are you happy?

"you are my best friend...forget all your troubles from this moment on.
your sparkling eyes, whispers and smiles have filled my heart."

rachel came home today, and when i visited her, she gave me this pen pictured above! super cute and fobby, right? hahaha. it's nice having her back home, but it's even nicer knowing that she had a great time on vacation. people from my youth ministry also came home today from an out-of-state conference that they've said was amazing, so I'm...happy. :)
