Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

it really has. life has been a rollercoaster lately. can't believe how quickly time passes as i juggle so much. i spent about 10 days in colorado right after the big 2-8 birthday and it was lovely. i love being there with my family, with friends that feel like family, and away from here to rest.  it was a rejuvenating time, reminding me of who i am and how it feels to be known and loved. so thank you, colorado family. and then i came back and had another week or two to prep for second semester. (and somehow it's already that midterm time!) it's been a quiet beginning schoolwork wise, but now it's all catching up and i'm having a hard time catching my breath. the weight of it all really caught up with me last week. have to keep track of so many things, afraid i'm failing at that. and then thinking about the summer/next year already as they need our preregistration this friday! and on top of it, my social life picked up post-return from colorado. i have friends here that i am loving getting to know better, feel "me" around and am so thankful for. it's been a huge and much-anticipated turn of events. plus, i'm heading back to colorado at the end of the week for another stay over spring break. my sister just had her third boy--tate loren--and i get to go meet him! can't wait to hold his tiny hand. so knowing i'm going to be missing work, i've been picking up extra hours like a crazy woman. and life well, has never been so scheduled in some ways. and well, there's also the boy thing........ man, if anyone actually reads this, you can write me personally and ask. just wanted to let whoever reads know that life is crazy and full and, well, good actually. i'm learning and growing and knowing people and being known by them. and that is what life is to me. so i'm living! and wanted to live it briefly here for you.

update on slumdog: I TOLD you it was a good'un... see all the awards and hype!? i admit, i'm a bit annoyed with some of it, that the families of the kiddos from the slums of india who were stars in the movie get a way out... and what about the rest of india? but alas..!
