Face of Love

Well Hello from good ol windy reno. It's a lovely day! Let me tell you I have been sooo stressed out this week. Test after test and speech after speech. I can finally say...I DONE! Well, for this week anyway, but hell yeah!


I am in a very chipper mood. I just tuned into my Christmas collection. It's crazy how much this music brings back soooo many memories. Good bad happy sad nonetheless, memories. One year ago I was teaching Christmas carols to cute little african kids. Oh how i miss that. I tried uploading a video but it wouldn't work.


So after reading my journal from Africa, I looked at what I did exactly a year ago. It didn't say much besides many things I am thankful for. My favorite was thank you for letting be me someone to somebody. I remember feeling that way. Now, being back and getting caught up in the stupid stuff again, I realize that I am still given the opportunity to be someone to somebody. I am somebody to many people. How cool! But am I thankful for that? Not since a year ago. Shame on me. Truly, shame on me. We as selfish people and can be somebody EVERYDAY and place.


  • This will be my though for the week and maybe if you're reading this you can join me. Let's ask ourselves: Who am I for that person? What can I do to be better for that stranger I see everyday, or my sisters I talked to daily, or family, or old friends. What somebody am I to myself?

Cheesy deep... ya ya ya. It cures me, get over it!


I have a piphi dance tomorrow yeeeaahhh!! The theme is glam rock.. im stoked! Luke arrives this evening, and then the parrtayyy begins!


Love you all. Cheers to Julie in the place I wish I was! love you girrrrl!



Friendship is like peeing on yourself:


everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

holy crap.


Holy crap it has been one year since I was in Africa. I can hardly believe how fast time goes by. I haven't written in soooooooooooooooo long. Not that anyone really cares but I am dissappointed in myself. Although I have my own personal journals and ways of expressing myself, I think it is important for family to know what is going on. Now I assure you my life isn't near as exciting as it was a year ago, but I'm still loving it right????


So, where to start? I spent a semester and summer at home in Vegas. And now, I am back in Reno. It was a VERY quick decision but I'm very happy with it. I basically just came back to finish my senior year in Pi Phi. It's been amazing and a very positive healing experience! I will tell all about it later but quite frankly, I'm just not in the mood to write right now! But please check back because I WILL be sharing much more of MAH LIFE to those who are interested.


toodles.


mah love.
