i went into the city the yesterday ...
it makes me want to love people more...
people
are so precious...and i know that, yet i am so wrapped up in my own
stuff just like all the busy people on the streets...too busy for even
a smile...already thinking about all the things we need to do...
it makes me wonder...as impossible as it would be...if all of us
busy americans valued our relationships as much as our personal
success....maybe even more...made them more important than
beauty...more important than safety...more important than our
pride...more important than our reputation...

me: (holding up a piece of fabric) "how many yards is this?"
mandy: (pulls out ruler) "i don't think there's yards on this."
one more reason i'm glad i'm not the blonde in the family

| so this summer has seemed to be going by really fast...i kinda feel like i was just saying bye to all the seniors and soon i'll be sayin hi to all the new freshman...its gonna be weird...
i still have so much i want to do this summer...so many books i want to read...so many things i want to learn how to do...so many places i want to go...not enough time or money for it all...
i guess i'll just have to do what i can in the time thats left before i go back to school and be satified with that...
its been a very good summer so far...i got to go to cornerstone which was something i didn't think would happen and it did...i've been makin some money-and spendin some money...i've spent some quality time with good friends...i've been learning a lot...and i've finally gotten the chance to rest...
two months down...one to go

| Just got back from the land of cheese and mosquitos-Wisconson. We went to tons of little swedish bakeries, ate lots of food including swedish pancakes with strawberries in a restaurant that had goats on the roof, watched the sunset on the beach, discovered everything i need to know i learned in kindergarden, babysat for the cutest one and a half year old ever, tried on lots of viking hats, and learned to speak swedish!
okay, swedish...not so much. The week was amazing and i got to share it with four of my best friends. i'm so blessed...i can't say that enough.
