Time of Our Lives

Melissa and I had a lovely evening last night. She picked me up and we went to the art walk in downtown Covina.  Sad to say it, it was rather disappointing. There were hardly any booths in comparison to that one time I went a few months ago. But it was a nice night so it was fun walking downtown. She is in love with Sugar Bowl so we decided to hang out there for a little while. She bought me a shake and we drank them at the bar as we enjoyed the old fashioned diner set up. 

After finishing our shakes, we drove over to Covina park to see the Chalk festival. Well it wasn't too exciting. A few taped off squares on the tennis courts with mostly mediocre chalk drawings.

Fighting the dragon!

High school friends: Lauren Tuma drew this! This was the best one there!

After looking at the chalk drawings for a few minutes, we mosied down to the end of the park by the track and all the lovely trees. The sun was setting so it was the most beautiful time of day at the park. The shadows and stripes of light across the bright green grass. Mmm, it's lovely. We sat around talking for a while. Good good talks were had last night. There at the park and later as well. Since the sun was going down, it also got a lot cooler and I was in a little tank top and shorts. So she took me home quick and I changed and we headed out again.

I ended up taking her to my parking garage. "My" haha but it feels like mine whenever I go up there. We had already missed the sunset but that was ok. We listened to music and talked about "life" things. The future, the past, and everything in between. I have such a wonderful friend. She took a few peectures of me as well.

After feeling a little too sad and emotional, I took off my shoes and started dancing around in the parking lot. She joined me and we acted real crazy and silly. It's good to have a best friend you can be silly with.

A little later, we saw a car drive into the garage and I figured they would come to the top so we got back in her car to wait them out. They drove up there and turned back around and left. We ended up staying in the car and just sat and talked some more as the music played. Sad things, exciting things, emotional things, hard things, looking forward to the future things, and again, all the in betweens. Without really realizing it, it had gotten dark and the stars came out. 

As we sat in the seats of her beautiful mustang, windows rolled down, serious talks and occasional bursts of laughter, it felt like we were in a book. We were the two main characters, best friends, enjoying each other's company as the summer night came to a close with the twinkling stars.
