So, it's official. We are attending the University of Utah! Crazy-- I know! But we are so excited! Nervous, but excited! We just got back from Mississippi! It was fun, but so sticky. I can visit, but never live there. We got to witness the most beautiful fireworks show, we were on the beach for about 2 hours and I loved it. Minus the idiot man who hit me with a sparker thing (haha.) We saw some of the desctruction Katrina (in case you didn't know it actually hit Mississippi, not just New Orleans was affected) and it was pretty sad. The town was fixed up a lot. But, the oil spill just reached them. We didn't see much, just people trying to clean up the beach, it was sad. But the trip overall was fun. We had the worst flying experience ever, it was awful. Goodness, Delta needs to get back in order.
We went back into Wichita to see my family who was visiting from Colorado. It was nice to see most of them, I'm pretty pissed at my cousin though oh and uncle. Idiots. But who doesn't get annoyed by family? Hopefully everyone or else my family is crazy. I loved seeing my mom, sister and Danny. We're going back to WF for the weekend and week-ish so we'll see them soon! Yay!
I've got to get my weight in order, it's getting ridiculous. I need to get off of my ass (after) this and work out. Though, I do work out a lot, more than most college students and I just keep gaining, ugh, it's so depressing. I'm going to be back to my weight at 15-16 by my 21st birthday! One year, to lose weight and gain some muscle! It's on!
We're going to the lake with all our best friends for Thomas' birthday next week! It'll be fun, I'm sucking in the entire time, blah. But I am excited!
Here are some of the "Quote of the Day" entries because I have been absent!
In a world of disorder and disaster and fraud sometimes only beauty can be trusted.
Devotion is diligence without assurance.
It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.
She would tell him what she wanted in her life--her hopes and dreams for the future--and he would listen intently and then promise to make it all come true. And the way he said it made her believe him, and she knew how much he meant to her.
If I want to live in a peaceful world then it is up to me to make sure I am a peaceful person. No matter how others behave, I keep peace in my heart. I declare peace in the midst of chaos or madness. I surround all difficult situations with peace and love.
Don't ever let someone lead your life because you will end up living it their way not yours.
Patience is being at peace with the process of life.
Respect people if you want people respect you.
You can honor whatever God you would like to. That is YOUR choice. In the end everyone should live the religion of being a good person.
Wise people discuss ideas. Fools discuss how people should behave.
Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.
Time to live, time to lie, time to laugh, and time to die. Take it easy. Take it as it comes.
Do not look back in anger, or forward in fear, but around in awareness.
I guess what I want to learn is how to leave in this world and enjoy its delights, but also elevate myself to God.
In the end, what I have come to believe about God is simple. It's like this-- I used to have this really great dog. She came from the pound. She was a mixture of about ten different breeds, but seemed to have inherited the finest features of them all. She was brown. When people asked me,What kind of dog is that?" I would always give the same answer: "she's a brown dog." Similarly, when the question is raised, "What kind of God do you beieve in?" my answer is easy: "I believe in a magnificent God.
