what? i still have a blog? hmm...

I am so annoyed at Sioux Falls drivers! 99% of them need to go back to Driver's Ed. Or maybe just a class focused on not being self centered and being nice (I would even go for a slight show of acknowledgement at this point) to people around you. I think my mom made a good point... I was driving around town with her as people raced to their destination - not caring who they took down on their way - and she asked the famous though provoking question all mom's are required to raise, "How would you like to be on the Titanic with these people?"

Seriously though... Out of all the people you know, or even just the people in your city, who would you want to be on the Titanic with... Who would put your life before theirs? And... Whose life would we put before ours? It's so easy to say what we think we would do... But really stop and think about it. Would you be like the captain who puts the lifes of everyone before his, or would you be the first racing to the lifeboat, and like the S.F. drivers, not care who you hurt on the way to save your own life?

great memories :)

As I was going through my stuff, cleaning it out for yet another move, I came across a letter a friend wrote me before I left Idaho. There were many sweet, encouraging one-liners, but one that struck me today was "smile when you answer the phone."

Lately, everybody carries a cell phone so you can be reached pretty much anywhere, no matter what you're doing and then we get annoyed that people are bothering us. If you're grouchy and don't want to be reached - turn your phone off! Otherwise, when you answer the phone - smile! Maybe the person on the other side needs a friendly voice and a smile.

I didn't realize it had been so long since I updated! With all the stress of school, work and everything else, my posts were pushed to the back burner and I completely forgot this existed. As I was watching Julie & Julia (a great movie, although I usually don't go for this type) with my mom I realized I should check up on this.

Since we're enjoying a movie, this will be brief.

I changed my major to Theology & Philosophy. That includes taking Greek, which I'm completely looking forward to but scared of at the same time, and a class about world missions. I can't wait for the fall semester to start. In other news, it looks like my mom and brother are going to be moving back to Boise this summer while I finish out my last year of school and my dad continues to look for a job back home. This thrills me. When I moved to Sioux Falls I felt like it was just a physical thing. My heart stayed in Idaho. I hope this makes sense and doesn't make me sound crazy.

I'm hoping I won't forget about this again and more updates will be on the way...
