ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, alrightalrightalright...HEY!

If you've ever been to EFY, you know the rest.

So the past 3 and a half weeks of my life have been...insane. Insanely tiring, insanely awesome, insanely spiritual, insanely uplifting, insanely in fast-forward, and basically amazing overall. I love the youth-- I always learn SO MUCH from them. They're truly amazing. I can't really summarize my weeks, because I had so much happen that I can't even squeeze it down. But in a nutshell...every year I learn something new at EFY. Usually lots of new things. I think this year so far I've learned that anything is possible through the Lord, and that first impressions should not always be lasting impressions. I also think that I learned how to love better, loving through the eyes of Christ. 7 years of EFY and I'm not sick of it yet!! Also, it amazes me how I can work with the same group of people for only 3 weeks, and yet I know some of them better than people I've known for years. I've made some amazing friends so far this summer, and I know we'll be friends for life, even if we only talk once a decade, because a bond made through the Spirit is way more lasting than just somebody you met on the side of the road somewhere. I love it. And I love the people. AH I LOVE EFY!

Also, Michael went on trek. The telegraph did an article on it, found here. I know those people!! :)

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378.

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r

You make me smile

Stanford Larsen:  One of my dearest friends.  Also one of the few people in this world who never let me down...ever.  Every time I think back to memories with him, i can't help but smile.  He has left a smile on my heart forever. Watermelon always makes me smile.  No other explanation needed. My cats make me smile.  They purr and are happy kitties. Snow of course.  Snow snow snow!  Snow angels, snowballs, snowmen, snow forts, snow fights, snow shoveling, snowfall, snow! My family.  They're all my best friends.  I couldn't ask for a better family...ever. Mater.  Cars.  The music in the movie.  Watching the movie over and over again, on rainy or sunny days.  Lots of memories that go with this movie, too. Country.  Country music.  Country dancing.  Country movies.  Nashville.  Country stars.  Cowboys.  One in particular.  All of these things make me smile like I'd never smiled before I found them.  I want to be this! :) Lots of things make me smile. Lots
