I'm loving it here! Trying to get used to the cold.
And yes, the drivers are crazy! I left my car in California because I'm too scared to drive here.
Plus the public transportation is just so much easier.

I believe that having doubts and questions and doing what you can do figure them out (reading more, asking questions, gathering opinions, studying) is so much healthier than blind acceptance.

I have SO done that before. With a long email. Ugh. It took me about a week to get around to re-writing it. Anywhooo!

- I'm kind of both. I used to be more extroverted, but not as much anymore. Now I tend to be an introvert with spurts of being an extrovert.
- I played piano for about 6 years. So I kind of still can... but not very well. I'm pretty awesome at Rock Band. That totally counts right?
- Ben E. King. Stand By Me.
- Sushi!! Any time, any day.
- The word "moist." Kind of that "oi" sound in general... moist, ointment, ::shudder:: I also hate wet smacking sounds. Like someone chewing with their mouth open.
- Hm. Had to take some time to think about this one. A room full of laughter. Good friends together, laughing. That's a really great sound.
- I do go to church. Usually. But I just got settled into my new home in Chicago and have some church hunting to do.
- Speaking of Chicago! I just moved from Southern California to downtown Chicago two weeks ago.
- Wow. Um - I guess maybe a year and a half in twitter world. But we got to hang out this past summer! :) So fun.
- I totally do! Not always. But sometimes I notice it. I slap my knee sometimes too. Seriously, who does that?!
- She's on a break now, but I love everything Mandy writes at http://www.messycanvas.com/
- It's an older post (not that I write many) but this one about my brother. http://lifesaroadtrip.wordpress.com/2010/01/31/th...

Happy Monday! Love you! :)

My faaaavorite blog is http://www.holidaymatinee.com
I love it. Lots of fun and creative stuff.

And for books, I too just read Permission to Speak Freely (love it.)
And I'm almost done with Fahrenheit 451 because I never had to read it in high school and I wanted to.
And next I think I'm going to read Crazy Love because I've started reading it about 7 times and have yet to get beyond chapter 5. I think I know I'm going to love it so much that I'm dreading finishing it so I just don't. hmmm...

Oh, and yeah. Sunday morning (Or sometimes Saturday night if I'm up late enough) PostSecret is my first stop too.

I'm lost.
Prayers for direction and peace...
pleaseandthankyou

((Praying for you and your amazing family as well))

Really?! I had no idea!
;)

I love this!

First of all, great pictures, Joshua!!
And second of all, Diane and David, you are sooooo stinkin' cute!
Love this!
The end.

Done and updated.
Love your new home! Looks great!
My favorite song this week (it changes a lot...) is Out of my League by Stephen Speaks.
And I am not well educated in the ways of coffee, but I do like iced caramel macchiatos from Starbucks (upsidedown and with nonfat milk) :)

Stoked for you and excited to see all the newness :)
