been awhile

and this time i don't have to make any up, because i really have news to tell.

work is going swimmingly along.

my car keeps dying and it needs its oil changed. i never realized what a pain owning a car can be.

i have decided... after much thought.... to go on a mission.

i never ever pictured myself the missionary type. i'm not cheerful. i'm not out-going. i'm not ultra-spiritual either, at least not overtly. it's kind of weird.

but it feels like the right thing to do, so here i go. 18 months of ... mission... i don't have any idea what to expect.

it should be an adventure.


hollie, just remember these four words: boys are worthless scum. make them your mantra. no, they're not comforting. but they are true. ;)

everyone else, i hope you're all happy and stuff.

sidenote: since i'll be leaving on the mish in january ish, shae will need to replace me. keep that in mind, anyone who's interested in my oh-so-fabulous job.
