Fair warning: This is a long post. Take two days to read it if you're overwhelmed. If you're procrastinating, definitely take some time to read it now. :) Wednesday morning started out just like any other day at Weimar. But at lunchtime, we got a surprise!!! An Obermiller visit!! Accompanied by Kasee, Ipo, and... and... Oh no. I forgot his name. I know his last name is Hyde! After eating and socializing, we went outside and saw..... THIS! Okay maybe we didn't see this particularly. This was just across the street. But we did see this: Smoke was billowing, "Prepare to evacuate!" was ringing across campus. Mothers were scooping up crying children and running to their homes to pack their most important things (Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories--true story) and college students jumping in the air rejoicing their good fortune (Psychology class isn't a favorite I guess...?) at classes being cancelled. Animals are being loaded into their cages a...
Are you familiar with Cognitive Distortions? If not, you should be. Understanding them may greatly impact your life for the better. One of my strongest distortions is All or Nothing thinking. I'm coming to realize that this invades every area of my life. - Job Tasks - Hobbies - Spiritual Convictions - Reading Books (I have read through an entire series of books in 2-3 days. Pages and pages of information. Done. Because I had to finish the series. It's a problem.) - Relationships - Food - Facebook While I'd love to discuss and throw around ideas about all of these areas, the one I'm most hit with right now is actually..... Facebook! I deleted my profile (Completely deleted it, like, gone gone. No re-active life for me) in July of 2012 and was FB free for 2+ years. Why? There were many reasons. But in August (I think?) of this year I decided to open it up again because I was moving to Spokane in January and wanted to keep in touch with several friends that...
Mostly because I'm getting used to the concept of being single living here in Spangle Washington. Total number of residents (including the school staff and student population): Approximately 480. Total number of residents that are male: Roughly 210 Total number of those males that are single and over the age of 21: Maybe 25? And number of males that are single, over the age of 21, younger than 40, and Seventh-day Adventist???? ... 3. And I'm not interested in any of those three guys. But that's not the reason I'm writing this post. I'm writing this post because I totally took apart my vacuum this week because it wasn't working. AND FIXED IT. Like a boss. I'd like to thank my grandpa (who is the best mechanic I know) for bestowing his grease-stained genes to me. I'd like to thank my parents for always telling me I could do anything I set my mind to. I'd like to thank my Auntie Audra who showed me first hand what it was like to be a...
