Celebrating 9 years as a Christian today! It's pretty funny to reflect on how much things have changed through the years. I actually pulled out the letter I wrote to God that I read at my baptism which brought back a whole flood of memories of people and places and especially lots of what things would have been like if it had never happened... boy am I grateful!! I'm sure I never would have had the ambition to start college, or the constitution to finish, much less ever take the time to even figure out who I am!

I remember once my parents forgot my birthday when I was like 12 and it devastated me. Yesterday I was thinking about how I would feel if nobody remmeberd my birthday today (even though I'm terrible at remembering theirs!!) and I figure I would be just fine because I talk to all my favorite people all the time on the phone, through email or text messages. You guys thinking of me on 'not' my birthday means more then all the "Happy Birthday" phone calls in the world. (Poeple did remember anyway, and I love them for that as well!)
