I can't believe how long of a hiatus I took from the blog world.

And it's not that I had nothing to say. Quite the reverse. I have been practically exploding with vents and rants and thinks and brilliant ideas (for sure). But for some reason, I haven't been able to write. And it's been incredibly frustrating.

So hopefully this means I'm back?

Since my last blog...

• Mom spent two weeks in the hospital waiting out double pneumonia, and I realize the true extent of my own wimpiness when I feel faint watching my mom get her blood pressure taken.
• Family vacation to Mexico is cancelled so mom can recover which allows me to help Zach direct the God's Kids Bible Camp coming up in July.
  Selfish shout out: If anyone out there is a lifeguard and wants to help at camp, please speak now or forever hold your peace--otherwise I'm signed up for lifeguard classes this weekend and next week so that we can have the needed amount of lifesavers at camp.
  Second selfish shout out: If you are a NURSE and you're reading this and want to help with camp, please also let me know. Sorry, I know, I'm shameless.
• Early American Autobiographies isn't as dreadful as I anticipated. I almost don't mind spending every weekday morning of my summer vacation in a classroom talking about dead Puritans.
• Most thrilling to me: I'm excited about the Church again (and yes, I mean the big Church and not any specific congregation). Over the past couple months I've felt like God reached down from heaven with soul CPR and gave my spirit a much needed jumpstart. I feel inspired by everything--I haven't felt this motivated toward Church work since high school. Praise God. I'm guessing I'll talk about that more later.

That's all for now. But I'll be back soon. I promise.

Until then, for all you nerds out there, enjoy this...
