Here is a sampling of my mind's wanderings throughout my first year of teaching and first time living on my own; nothing extraordinary, just simple, short, and sweet. My friend Alli asked that I create a blog so she could follow my adventures, and I have willingly obliged.

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love. Stay in love. And it will decide everything."-Pedro Arrupe, S.J.

"Shake it like a Polaroid Picture"

I was watching t.v. the other night when my brother commented on a commercial; he said the all too common phrase, "Everything must come to an end." At first, I nodded in agreement because it made sense at the time. Upon further reflection, though, I realized that I strongly dislike that phrase! No, everything must not/should not come to an end. Love, marriage, health, happiness. If those things didn't last, where would we be? In a loveless, marriage-less, unhealthy, sad world. That doesn't sound like music to my ears.
