Mis Amigos

I am lucky...I have some really, really, really, good friends in my life. I am thinking about them even more these days because I am preparing to leave them all when I go down to AZ to start my student teaching.

Someone once told me that the sign of a true friend is their loyalty to you. If someone was talking about you in a negative light, would your friends step in and tell them they were wrong? Would they stand by you no matter what?

Yep. Mine would.

On another note about friends...my friend Matt and I drove down the Milford, Texas last week to surpise my best friend/former roommate Becca. It was amazing! That's some true friendship right there...driving 24 hours straight is REAL devotion. Becca lives on a ranch so some of the highlights were riding horses, herding cows, 4 wheeling, touching electric fences, and getting the biggest bruise of my life.


I will put up some pictures as soon as I can. But let's just say that the Texas hudmidty and heat does not make it easy for a girl to look nice so don't expect too much from the pictures!

Heaven

Without fail I seem to always have that one thing that I find myself constantly worrying about. I lay in bed thinking, if this were to just go away, then I could sleep well at night because I wouldn't have any worries!

That never works.

Because before I know it I have a 4 things to replace that one thing that I fixed. And then I sit and worry about those.

I ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, LOATH WORRYING.

So when I find something that can keep me from worrying and put a smile on my face, I become obsessed with it. And what has been my latest find? My hammock!!!

I love sitting in it in the hot sun with a cool breeze and my favorite songs playing on my ipod. It is like heaven to me.

It is also making me a little sad because I am realizing that I have exactly 19 days left in Idaho. But I won't let that bother me because I already have a million other things to worry about and a hammock can only do so much!
