I wish it were a Sunday..... oh wait....

15 on Sunday – cause that’s my fun day! 

1.            I may be turning 30 very soon, but I don’t feel the least bit old.  I am actually happy to be reaching this milestone, and plan on it being a new direction/start for me.

2.            I have an entirely new perspective on life.  After watching my father struggle through the last 5 years, and seeing the changes that have happened in him (some great, some scary) I have learned to welcome an end to suffering.  Remembering everything that my grandparents went through just emphasizes this new philosophy.

3.            I believe that we all have a responsibility to each other, to help those most in need.  I believe this is a Biblical principle.  I have a really hard time when people of faith fight against supporting our sick.

4.            I also believe that love is the answer.  I have a hard time when people of faith don’t live with love.  To me (and I may be wrong, but this is just how I see it) the way to touch a soul isn’t to tell them they are wrong, it’s to love and value who they are – a Child of God - and let God bring conviction to their hearts.

5.            I happen to LOVE frappucinos!  Carmel is my fav!

6.            There is a shifting happening in my life.  I don’t know where it will take me, or what I am going to do with it, but I know it’s happening… to be continued!

7.            Somehow, I still plan on following my dreams… I know I have to be responsible and all, but I plan on finding a way to make theater my life.  That may just mean I get to be a fan for life, or that I grow up to be a professor, or that I become the world’s most amazing stage manager, or I act in community theater.  We will see.

8.            More often then I should, I think about what might have been.  I think about what could have happened had I made different decisions.  Mainly I think about how my decisions impacted other people, and how their lives may have been changed.

9.            We are having an awesome summer.  Bowling, softball, movies, and a pool – it has been a blast!

10.          My biggest pet peeve ever – when I can hear people eating!  Chewing with their mouth open, slurping, smacking their lips… I just cringe, and wanna puke at the same time.

11.          I have some awesome friends in my life, and I am so grateful to each and every one of them.  I wouldn’t be able to make it through without them.  I learn so much from them and I get so much from them.  I feel blessed that they are in my life and can only hope to be everything to them that they are to me.

12.          I want to be artistic.  I am having to face the fact that I do not have an artistic bone in my body!  No matter how hard I try to change that, it just isn’t going to happen! 

13.          I am loving my life, as imperfect and far from what I thought it might have been, I LOVE IT! 

14.          My heart breaks for people that are going through some of the things I went through as a younger adult.  It kills me that people I love believe they are not what they should be, that they need to be something else. 

15.          This was way harder than I thought it was going to be… fifteen things about myself are hard to think about…
