watermelon

it is amazing how food can take you back to different experiences. just like how a certain song reminds you exactly how you felt when you were getting over a guy or dancing in the car with friends in college. i just opened my first watermelon of the summer and it takes me back to my summer spent at beach project and the summers with my family. and it is making me miss my parent's house! oh to be on their back porch with a big piece of watermelon and the lake in the backyard as our backdrop.

maybe one day, when i open my first watermelon years from now, it will remind me of this first summer when we just moved to our little condo in st. louis. yep. i'm going to eat so much watermelon this summer.i want to be reminded of this new and special time in our lives every single year.
