:: a true story

{original image via weheartit}

once upon a time...

two girls commenced on a perfectly warm summer evening.
they brewed a pot of tea.
turned on the patio twinkle lights.
and fired up the laptop.
in their supreme wanderlust--
the two friends decided it was high time to stop talking.
and start doing.
so they made the decision.
right then.
right there--
surrounded by the lullaby of a classic beatles tune.
and the whirring a 1,000 mosquito wings--
to go to hawaii.

and they meant it.

they searched airfare and condos.
luaus and parasailing.
pearl harbor and rainforests.
pineapple fields and spas.

and then.
they couldn't stop smiling.
and jumping around.
and buzzing with the excitement of dreams coming true.

because in nine short months.
they'd be ankle deep in sand.
golden brown.
and care-free.
waving "aloha" to everyone they passed.

they'd be in hawaii.
and that's a gorgeous thing.

the end.




p.s- yes! this really is a true story!! woot woot!
in march, my friend liz and i are going to hawaii.
i've already started asking--
are we there yet?
