autumn tones

several weeks ago, kohl and I found the perfect spot to take pictures by a shack. our source of light was limited, so we made do with what we had. we had two little girls watching us. one of them brought the yellow flower i am holding in one of the pictures. they must have wondered so many things about us. but they seemed to be enjoying the entertainment we provided. it has taken me such a long time to go through and edit these pictures, but i have a perfectly valid reason... 

about a week ago, i was sitting in chemistry class doodling away that there were "18 more days" till lukas would finally be back with me. and so on the same evening, i'm sitting on my bedroom floor painting and occasionally relocating to my desk to edit pictures. all of the sudden someone walks in my room with flowers hiding their face. when the flowers are finally lowered, i went into shock. i couldn't move. i thought i was dreaming. someone must have hit me really hard on the head, because this was simply not possible. 

lukas was standing right in front of me. 

i could not wrap my mind around the fact that i didn't have to wait 18 more days. he was here. i could hug him. i could finally be with him again. but it all seemed so surreal that i stayed seated with my mouth dropped open in disbelief that the boy i've been missing all summer was finally with me again. the first word that escaped my mouth was, "noooooooooo!" i was so scared that maybe i was dreaming and that i'd wake up missing him more than i had. so finally when i rose from my seat, i slowly wrapped my arms around his waist. he certainly felt real, but its taken me till now to really believe that i dont have to wait any longer. 

we spent a lovely night together having dinner, looking at pictures, talking, and simply just being with each other. i am the luckiest girl in the world. no doubt will there be pictures of him soon!
