"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Things to do:

1. Laugh every day.

2. Clean my room...then clean it again.

3. Make money so I can go to college. 

4. Actually get asked on a date instead of asking to be asked...

5. Figure out my visiting teaching situation.

6. Make money so I can go to college.

7. Remember that we can't go back because we were meant to go forward. 

8. Organize all the notebooks piled in haphazard skyscrapers around my room.

9. Make money so I can go to college.

10. "Serve God, love [others], and mend..." (Prize to the person who can tell me what that quote is from.)
 

Things to become:

1. Become a better laugher.

2. Become a better friend.

3. Become more loyal.

4. Start to learn how to learn to become a leader in my family. The one I have now and the one I will have.

5. Become a better writer.

6. Come to remember the knowledge that I am a Daughter of God. 

7. Become a better stayer-in-contacter...

8. Become a better woman.

9. Become a scholar.

10. Become to become.

Some of that was way random, but essential to my plan of focus and faith.

Cheers!

I kind of have this thing for mustaches. They're so funny! Even the word mustache is funny...and when they're worn tastefully, I find a mustachioed man rather attractive. 

I'll have to show you guys my mustache sunglasses sometime. They're pretty grand.

An explanation...

So, there are some lovelies who, due to circumstances totally inside their control and due to their desire to become the best the can be, had to and wanted to go off into the great wide world of college. 

Some went, or will be going up north to various parts of the country. 

Some moved just south east of me to a great university, and some to just the taddest bit of tad north to another university. 

I will, contrary to popular belief (mostly my own), be joining them in a few months time to start an adventure of my own, up north, in Idaho.

Regardless, this blog is my way of staying connected, and a way of describing my own adventures and thoughts about, well, anything that suits my fancy really. 

The title of this blog is a quote from one of my favorite books of all time. Note the careful use of the word one in that previous sentence. It is absolutely, without a doubt, impossible for me to choose a favorite book...but there are some that mean just a bit more to me in some ways than in others. I shall delve deeper into the realm of books and favorites and favorite books at another time (many other times, I'm sure.)

Anyways, the quote is from the book Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. It's a delightful and incredible book, for many reasons, some of which I cannot explain in words because they are close to my heart and soul, and often, elements of the soul are not easily expressed in words.

The web address to this bog is "That is a grand sunrise..." The whole working of the sunrise and the sunset are deeply spiritual and special to me...a dear friend of mine, and the gospel made it so. I will try to explain that sometime in another blog post...but, it is likely that words will not do it justice. 

So, there's the first post. Please, comment, ask questions, etc...I'm here for you!

With utmost sincerity,
