Realizing Reality

Sometimes you don't realize how much you love people until they're gone.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you appreciate someone until you don't see them anymore.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you care about someone until you can't talk to them anymore.


Sometimes you don't realize how close you are to someone until they get busy and aren't around as much.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you still care about someone until they re-enter your life.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you like your job until it's over.


Sometimes you don't realize how near the end/beginning is until you count the days.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you like someone until they break your heart.


Sometimes you don't realize how cautious you're being until someone slips right through your fingers.


Sometimes you don't realize how carefree you're being until you get hurt.


Sometimes you don't realize how much someone affects you until their influence is gone.


Sometimes you don't realize you're being irrational until reality slaps you in the face.


Sometimes you think you can handle more until you get hit with the unexpected.


Sometimes, you don't realize things about life and the people in it until after it's over.  And no matter how hard you try, or how reasonable you think you're being, you just can't realize some things until after the fact.  And that's just part of life and the growing up process.

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....

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

Rocks Rock!

So just out of curiosity, and because I had a couple minute before I have to head to work, I went on ebay and searched for a rock hammer. They are way cheaper than I thought they'd be! One of these days, I'm going to invest in a good one. But probably not until post-mission, as I technically won't need it until then anyway. Unless for some reason I take it to Alaska...hmm.... idears! Anyway, I took a geology test today, and it was a breeze. I love having a 4-credit class that I love and have an A in...partially because I love it, and partially because it takes some stress off of my math class, because this will balance it out. Though I'm not doing as badly in math as I thought I was! But i guess we'll see how this next test goes, which I think I am going to take on Saturday. It's going to be a busy weekend! James and I have quite the adventure planned for Saturday evening...just wait for pictures :) I hope it works out, because it'll be a hoot! ...
