stranded at starbucks, and other summer adventures


Is school really only a week away?

*sigh*

I had no job, no summer classes, and basically no real purpose other than to see how many different ways I can make coffee enjoyable in this ridiculous summer heat. But I can honestly say that this has been THE best summer of my life...might have a thing or two to do with the fact that I am dating the guy I've had a crush on since highschool, that magical time of consistently bad hair days, freaking out when he asked me to prom, and forcing my little sister to go with me to his football games...even in the rain.

But between him, my best friends and my (loyal) sisters, I have had so many crazy summer adventures and I only wish I could have documented them in pictures. Alas, I only have fond memories of getting caught my the cops (multiple occasions) as we found ourselves accidentally trespassing at parks and private lakes late at night. These are the kinds of stories my youth pastor boyfriend will probably not be integrating into sermons.

Yesterday Christy and I were sitting at Starbucks, feeling kind of bummed about summer ending as we downed our matching tall pike place roasts with a shot of vanilla. I was late for volunteering at VBS at our church, and Christy told me to just skip it.

"Come on," she said. "We can just hang out here, they'll never miss you!"
"Ugh, but I can't do that, I told them I'd help out."
"Oh, fine."

So we're about to get into my car when she realizes that she locked it from the inside...and I didn't have the key that unlocked my doors.

Me: Wait, wait, we're LOCKED OUT??
Christy: Oops.
Me: Oh my gosh, I'm going to miss VBS!

Pause.

Us, simultaneously: SCORE!

So, we hung out at Starbucks, ordering more drinks and entertaining the baristas with our (perfectly timed) predicament. It was the perfect end to the perfect summer!
