so. much crap.

it's unreal how much stuff we can accumulate over time...

i've been going through old paperwork, cards, and just stuff...

some of the random crap i found:
-stamps....0.35 ones...
-polaroids from a night of mayhem with friends...
-notes for a job interview i had with a television show in L.A.
-take out menu for this really gross chinese restaurant in Orange County
-a million post-its
-resume from 1999
-student id cards from mjc, biola, jbu and even my california license when i had blonde hair.
-lists of songs i wanted to but off of itunes, but never did.
-a couple of random bills i never paid...oopsie.
-unlabeled cd's...who even knows what they hold-probably pictures.
-postcard someone sent me from ireland...so awesome and funny.
-my 1GB memory card for my camera (been looking for that for so long!)
-receipts galore.

and so much more....
agh. i need to be more organized.

now what to throw away and what to keep...

so highschool

i felt so "highschool" tonight.

a girl that i never got along with in high school ended up marrying my biggest crush from high school. he didn't go to our school and i have no idea how they met.

in my mind i was like, "seriously, did this really happen?"

yes. and then i went into petty highschool mode and thought as i looked at pictures of her, "hmmmm, she sure has a lot of wrinkles and looks like she's 40." i am so immature. but then again, i look like i'm 22.

lies.

why do we believe so many lies?

one pic for now.

this is the north coast of ireland. incredible. brilliant. breathtaking. lovely.














this is also my new desktop picture.

poked

so i've had this persistent cough for a long long time and went to the doctor yesterday. finally.
got poked in the butt with a painful shot.
got another inhaler-apparently i need to use one again.
got put on antibiotics that make me sick to my stomach. so lovely.
i loathe being sick. but thank you lord for health insurance.

on another note...most amazing strawberry and spinach salad for lunch. yum.

listening to the frames (thank you ian)

as well as mic christopher (again, thank you ian)-this guy mic christopher is amazing. sad story about his death, but incredible musician. brilliant.

still reflecting on ireland and going through thousands of pictures. yes, thousands. i was there for over a month after all.

islack

i haven't written in soooo very long. it's my busy job and now...2 ireland trips later....i have much to ponder and process and reflect and then write.

soon, hopefully. afterall it is summer and i'm suppose to be off...but work demands are still there.

ireland

i'm leaving in a few hours for ireland. i'm so excited!

it's kind of surreal to me. i can't believe it's already here. woah.

i'm going on a mission trip with jbu to renovate a nursing home into a residential and teaching facility for jbu teams. i will be gone march 20-27th. plus this will be a pre-trip for me for the student trip i'm leading this summer...so much excitement and such a god calling on my life.

if i weren't so tired, i would write more tonight but i need to get some sleep. will write more soon.

in the meantime, please pray for me and the team of 12 who will be traveling and working hard.
