musings

After church and assorted meanderings, me, Hadley, Adam and Mike all drove through the canyon in Hadley’s convertible. It has now been declared that everyone should ride through the canyon in a convertible at least once in their lives. 
There’s something so infinitely cleansing and rejuvenating about feeling the wind in your hair as you look up into the towering mountain heights, humming along with the gorgeous 4 part harmony playing on the radio. I spent half our drive with my eyes closed and my head tilted back just breathing in life. It’s a serenity that’s so hard to find and hold in my busy life, yet it’s a five minute drive from my house. How lucky and blessed can you get? In a drive like that all my troubles completely and totally disappear. It’s the feeling of being in love with the world so much that you could die right then and there’d hardly be a transition into the next life and the welcoming arms of heaven. It’s looking up and thinking that all is right and that a God who could create so much calm, persistent, and majestic beauty wouldn’t - couldn’t make a mistake. That, my friends, is true serenity.

I have a livejournal and I know how to use it!...
Ok, so I have been reeeeeeeeealy lax when it comes to updating.  sorry.

Life has been progressing ever forward.  It's weird to be graduated.  I have a job now though!  I work in the nursury at the Kids Korner Academy right by Dimitri's and it's been taking up most of my time.  Our problem there is almost opposite of Loni's.  There's on guy who works there and he just comes a few days a week to teach Karate to the kids.  I usually work from 1-6ish every weekday, so if you've been trying to get a hold of me, that's why I haven't been home.  Also, my family is horrible at taking messages for me, as Bekah learned the other day, so don't expect me to call you back with any message left with my family, even and especially with the parentals.
In other news I still have no idea what I'm doing for the 4th.  Any ideas?  Later in july I'm hoping to go on a road trip but that may or may not happen from the looks of it now.  Also, I'm missing people.  Work is all fine and dandy when it comes to making me money, but when it comes down to it I'm seeing more of children than friends.  So if you're bored for any reason around 6 ish give me a call and we'll play!
