In reference to my May 14th post...

hah. So much for taking chances. I did go to ASL camp. I was terrified but I ended up liking it. I canceled on going to to Young Life camp and on the Canadian biking trip. I am still going to be a Student Leadership "Link Crew" leader, which I am excited about. Instead this summer I helped my parents do a deep deep cleaning of our house because we're selling it (that took like 2 weeks) and I am now 4 books in to a 6 book series. exciting no? I have hung out with friends occasionally (which I love), watched movies, read books and honed my skills at being anti social. don't i sound like a cheery person? I really am, i promise. :) I just write it in here so I can get it off my chest. Tomorrow I am going to Seattle (I hate Seattle with a passion, i hate all cities) with my 17 year old girl friends to celebrate our friend's 18th birthday. We're going to the Melting Pot. 6 teenage girls in downtown seattle with no parental escorts at a fancy restaurant? I suppose that could be something of an adventure. ;) perhaps i will view each day as something new to be explored. one day at a time isn't nearly so frightening. :) I love my life. Some day i will live it with a passion.

You are silly. Next year is my last bike trip, I think you need to come. ('Else I might have to scream, and you know I am NOT a screaming type of a girl. ;])

Still, I'm glad you're enjoying your summer. That's what summer is all about! You have fun in the city! (Cities are not my best either . . .) you know you will. Oh, and try and break some rules while you're at it. ;]

Every day IS something new to be explored! Life is such an adventure. =]]

As Abraham Lincoln once said: "The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time." Don't ever forget that, life only comes one day at a time, but we're never promised tomorrow. So live each day as the adventure, treasure and blessing that it is. That's all there is to living a life full of passion, I think. :]

I love you.

SO. in the very offchance that you ever get notified of comments or anything i am leaving this tiny correspondence where it may or may not ever be discovered. Alas, i have no myspace so I can't get to any of your more current musings but as long as I've been wasting my time hanging out with your big brother, I have always enjoyed your unique perspective. Hope you're well.

Also i heard a rumor about a dance and a firefighter? or was it a dancing firefighter? ... the usual threats about his behavior and character..blah blah :)

...this in the absence of an email address. When do you start Whitworth? I think I'm halfway jealous - you're just starting and here I am just finished. I swore I'd never miss school and I think I already do. A little. Whitworth will be great for you - if not perfect.

I am well - making corporate coffee at starbucks and putting out fires, saving sick people etc. Hopefully will be moving back west to start working in auburn with their fire dept in the late fall. Let me know when you move out here so we can connect...
