Debut

This weekend I attended Sharon Whelchel's debut into adulthood. She turned 18 years old yesterday (Sunday) and on Saturday, a large formal gathering was held in her honor. There was food, waltzing, and plenty of merrimaking in general. I escorted the lovely Rose Dreisbach to the event. Although I must admit that I'm not much of a dancer, I enjoyed myself. I was honored to be able to take part in such a meaningful and momumental event in Sharon's life. I'm glad that I went.

the new iPhone from Apple. this is one of the coolest new things i've seen all week/month/year.

(see www.apple.com)

this is the countdown

here i sit, amongst the rubble of clothing and pieces of luggage strewn throughout my living room. i'm feeling similar to the way that i think a beached guppy would feel, moments before a tidal wave crashes down onto it's defenseless and floundering fish body. what a disgusting simile, yet it's strangely accurate, nonetheless.

during the last week, i realized the magnitude of love that i have for my family and friends. especially my family, though. not that i didn't realize that i loved them before this, because i definitely knew that i loved them. but i'm realizing in a whole new way now, as i'm departing from them for a long period of time, in much less than twenty-four hours.
