I had a dream the other night. Then, part of it came true. Later that day, I was talking to someone who said something rude to me. Meanwhile, my apartment is almost clean, I paid my first bill, and I love my apartment (pictures coming soon). I’ve met a lot of people. God has been…

I keep trying to compare work to school, but they really are completely different. Even though I’m taking classes and eating lunch in a cafeteria. I’m also being paid and spending my evenings home work-free. Many people my age are contemplating furthering their education. And, if college has taught me one thing, it’s how much…

I had the opportunity to go running this morning. The world smells fresh at this hour. As if the dark early hours of the morning have a way of scrubbing the earth clean. Even the birds can feel it; they sing of it at the top of their lungs. It’s beautiful.

I’m still in NE, but I’ve got the paperwork started for an apartment. Last weekend, I met with a local Realtor (paid for by Cessna), and she showed me around Wichita. I received an email from her today. Here is the amazing part: Annie…. It was very nice to meet you in person last week,…

I’ve been blogging on Xanga for almost a year now, and recently started a group blog with my apartment-mates. Now I’m moving everything here just to have it all together, unlike the rest of my life. Recent updates include Rome, Baja, and Cessna. Rome was awesome, Baja was Baja, and Cessna is about to begin.…

This song was in my Italy playlist, the songs of which will now always remind me of the rolling Italian country side. At first, I found this song depressing, but it’s not. It is my take on the song that it is written as if God were sing the song to the listener. In the…
