| hey family- have you ever looked at a picture and had it actually make you ache? Not a sad ache but this weird kind of ache just because of its extreme beauty or simplicity. I was looking through some old photos of friends and I was just marveling in the genius of what art is that I actually cried. Art moves us. Art is whatever we want I guess. I feel like a big baby and maybe I just shouldn't stay up this late or something. Love is so beautiful and I take it so for granted. It is a gift- to be loved and be able to love. I love the beauty and simplicity yet utter complexity of love and all that it entails. Pay attention. Be aware of the love around you. Don't ignore it. Sometimes it doesn't last forever. Each moment is its own entity and only comes once. Funny how a picture makes me reevaluate my thinking and priorities. I leave you with this: what is art to you? does it make you cry? |

| Family!~ it has been a long time. It is funny how things never go the way you think they will. Work has been busy but what else is new..? I hope this finds you all in good spirits and good health. I have made some new friends, longed for old ones, and been a bad friend to many. Please forgive me. Once again, things never seem to go the way I plan. I leave you with this: If you were going to conquer the world, who would you pick to be your side kick? |

| Oh Happy Family!~ I bring this glorious news to you today to lift the spirits of the vanguard student kind. 42 days!!!!!!!!! Oh Happy Magical Friday! I leave you with this: If you could have any job in the world for only a few months--not your profession--just a job, what would you do/be? |

| Hi Family. So I just have a few things. I had a really fun time working for Little Bud's productions this weekend doing hair and powdering noses of kids from ages 2-6 and getting paid. God is good and I look forward to where He is going to take it from here. I'm excited about so many things that are going on and are going to go on this semester and then remembering that homework sucks....I hate normal classes. Not near as fun homework as theatre classes. Be brave! 90 something days until its all over for the summer! Praise the Lord. I am in need of a new church out here and I'm not the biggest fan of church shopping, so if anyone is just LOVING there church in the OC, let me know. I leave you with this: Would you rather sing the national anthem at the super bowl or light the torch at the olympics? |

| Happy New Year Family. I hope you all had a safe holiday and that you enjoyed spending some time away from normalcy. New Years bring into picture new ideas and fresh starts, looking forward to all the new things that this year has in store. More time with friends, less time complaining, more firsts, less regrets, more action and reading, less junk food and late night snacks (less not no more....). Then I come to realize that this is going to be a really had year. Saying goodbye to friends and getting to hold on to different ones, holding friends strong when I know they are struggling, having family morph into something different, accepting different, having to finally apply diligence in a practical way and stop procrastinating. God is great and bigger than me. I need to stop pretending and finally be. Good things in store. Rough times ahead. Attitude is everything. I leave you with this: Would you rather lick the scales off of a dead fish or dance around a crowded room naked? |
