| overjoyed. today i am overjoyed. home. home is where the heart it. and my heart is certainly here.
as i sat in church nestled between two of my very best friends and just down the row from my parents...
and in sunday school when my 8th grade girls informed me that all the hot guys in 8th grade are gay...
and as i sat at lunch at panchos with my closest friends and my sweet sweet family...
and as we sat on jessicas bed giggling and chatting like we were back in 6th grade again...
and in indian goodies from a special indian friend...
and after having a good heart to heart with a dear old friend...
and driving home windows down at my favorite time of day with the beautiful weather and green green grass and the oh so blue skies....
and in quality time with my wonderful family and being reminded that i have the most amazing family ever...
and to top it off, having a great hair day...
i realized....
i am extremely blessed and completely overjoyed.
life is wonderful.....

| ok so i thought i was over xanga, but i heard this quote sunday and it keeps repeating in my head...
"We talk of the Second Coming; half the world has never heard of the first." -- Oswald J. Smith i was going to write this whole paragraph on the way i see it. but im not. just think about it. let it marinate in your mind. ps. my sister is simply wonderful and beautiful. i couldnt love her more. its not until recently and now that i am older that i truly appreciate her and realize just how great she is. |

| this year is going to be different. changes will be made. there is a donald miller quote that i love and think is going to define my year. "i analyze too much. i don't want to think about life anymore; i just want to live life." im going to try to think a little less and live a little more. and why not. why the heck not. those are new words to live by. thanks beth philemon. im also making a list of things i want to do this year. mostly simple things. like learning to play chess. drive a stick. tie a tie. and do a lot more reading. and more of the classics. the ones i just skimmed or sparknoted in high school because we had to. but now i want to read them for fun. i think they are important. this year is going to be good. i can feel it. |

| so im in love with the new john mayer cd. it is changing my life. stop this train is one of my favorites. it so eloquently says what i am and have been thinking and feeling. ...stop this train. i want to get off and go home again. i cant take this speed its moving in. i know i cant, but honestly wont someone stop this train....
this train of life is moving a little too fast for me. what happened to the days of living at 803 belle drive? when things were simple and life was easy. what happened to the days of just running around and playing all day, splashing in the creek, throwing crab apples? now im all grown up and responsible or something.
