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.

In-Flight

The information screen at my gate scrolls through the basics of my flight: it will arrive at 7:33 p.m. local time, we'll be flying on a 319 Airbus, and there will be 120 people on my flight, with 101 of us already checked-in. How incredible. Not including all the people I've already come across at the airport, I will be coming into contact with 119 people I've never met simply by flying today. That means there are possibly 119 people I could prefer to never see again, but who knows, maybe the odds'll be in my favor and I'll make a friend.
