Its been too long...

I have been a very unfaithful blogger recently. So unfaithful that I am pretty sure everyone has stopped reading my blog and now I am just writing to myself. Which is alright. I can handle that.

I feel like a lot has been going on recently but nothing exceptional. Nothing worth writing a intense blog about. But maybe just a few of my recent observations:

Observation 1.

I really can't stand people who are convinced this weather is the result of global warming. I am pretty sure if it was global warming, it would be warmer. Perhaps global freezing is a better term. It is June and it feels like October...is something wrong with this picture? I should be putting my winter coat away not wearing it till it thins out. God, I want to wear my flip flops and not have cold toes!

Observation 2.

It is common knowledge that gas is at an absolutely ridiculous rate. And I would have you know that my truck is a very hungry guy. He eats a lot, and often. So driving around often really takes its toll on my bank account and I am beginning to feel that. I am pretty convinced we should go back the horse drawn carriage system, I mean that seemed to work out great and all you had to buy was carrots for the horses. I could definitely afford carrots.

Observation 3.

I am almost done with my first year of college. My brother graduated a few days ago and my littlest brother is going into seventh grade. The majority of my closest friends are getting married and others have landed awesome careers. I am definitely not a teenager anymore. It is a weird feeling getting older and watching other people get older. It makes me wonder what the next year and years are going to bring. More and more it seems like everything and anything could change in a week. Its very cool and yet very scary.

Observation 4.

I need a new wardrobe.

Observation 5.

There have been a lot of new relationships recently that I have loved attaining and also old relationships that have gone deeper. I love the way the Lord works and always brings the right people at the right time. I love love.

Observation 6.

My grandpa died a week or so ago and sadly I feel like I learned more about him at the memorial then I actually did when he was alive and for that I am sad. But I also found out what a good person he was. I didn't even know he was a Christian, and yet at the memorial I foudn out that he was the head usher at his church and really, really loved the Lord. And his last words to some of his friends were "yes, I am ready to see my Jesus." I LOVE that. He was 6'4, and when he was his full height, with his cowboy boots on, he easily stood at 6'7. He was a giant of a man but also a big teddy bear. He loved camping, horseriding, hunting and fishing. He loved people and he loved being in the police department. One story I will leave you with about him: he was a trucker for several years and one time as he was driving a truck in front of him ran into a goose. Well my grandpa immediately pulled over thinking "what a great dinner that would be." SO he grabbed the goose and threw him in the cab of his truck. He was driving about ten minutes when all of the sudden the goose woke up and preceded to attack my grandpa. This went on for while [gooses are pretty vicious you know], but my grandpa finally won and I assume had a delicious dinner :)


Thats all teh observations for now. More to come much sooner than later :)
