Sorry

By the way, I am sorry if the word verification thingy is a pain, I still want people (instead of spam) to leave comments.

Ok, ok.....

So I'm sitting here in the computer lab at Parkland checking out other blogs, and I realize I still have and hour before I need to be in class. I have therefore decided to make use of this opportunity to post again, since, to my shame, I see it has been over a month.
Well, so far life is good in Illinois, although reading Luke's post on things he misses has put a bit of a damper on my mood right now. I miss Kansas! More specifically (sp?) I miss KSU ACYG. Especially after reading about the Batcave, the late night Wal-Mart runs, and having an hour and a half phone conversation the other night with various members of the aforementioned group. I am currently going through a withdrwal phase because I don't have the kind of deep personal relationship with anyone here that I had with some very special people in KS. I suppose that will eventually change, but in the meantime, it sometimnes makes me sad. Another jolt of reality: As of yesterday, I have officially changed my counseling elder to Ron Messner, in Washington. This kind of caught me off guard, as it wasn't until late last week that I even had a thought that I wouldn't be able to counsel with John now that I am 7 hours away. I did have a much needed phone conversation with him, which was when we decided to switch my elder, but it isn't the same as seeing him face to face. I should quit now before I am swallowed up in despair ;).
On a lighter note, some may notice that my blog is not nor has it ever been on Luke's famous list of blogs. Apparently, I update even less than Vince, a fact that I will not try to argue with anyone. :)
