meet me, the offerer

Definition of me being bored: offering to wake up Tori for seminary at 5:45, then offering to wake up Isaac for school at 7:45, then making Isaac breakfast and lunch, then offering to go to the gym with my mom at 9. It worked out very well, though, and I'm doing it again tomorrow :)

I worked today for the first time in a few weeks and I literally walked around with a smile on my face. I love my job and I offered to take an extra 5 hour shift tomorrow. What a saint.

Sooo here's the deal. You know when you (I'm just talking to the future me, here to pretend I have an audience... haha) have this thing in your head that you think about all of the time. And you know you shouldn't be worrying about this thing anymore because there's nothing sensible that you can do to control it. And you're starting to think about doing somewhat insensible things because you just want to do something about it. And you don't want to bring up this thing to other people because then they would think that you are crazy for still thinking about it. And you have decided the best thing to do is just go on with your life and see where this thing ends up. And you try. And it works. And then something happens and screws the whole thing up. Yeah, that sucks. And I'm referring to more than a couple things here... But I think I have found a quote to stop me once and for all. "There's no point in watching a pot and waiting for it to boil while there is real life going on around us. The only thing that will bring us is regrets and missed opportunities. The water will boil whether we're watching it or not, and we might as well live our lives in the meantime." Okay fine I just came up with that... But it works, right?

It's not possible to love people more than I love the people in this picture. This was in Miami, Florida in June 2010 in a rental van after a week long cruise in the Caribbean. We spent this day driving around, touring different parts of Florida and loving every moment of it. Exhausting? Yes. Priceless? Ohh yes.
