Kansas isn't that bad.

Kansas isn't really as awful as some people say.

Especially when sunset looks like this.

We had a little storm coming our way tonight, and I looked out the window to see this. It's amazing, even if I couldn't get a good picture because the wind was shaking my camera.

This picture still takes my breath away.

So yeah, I love where I live.

We may not have an amazing downtown. But there is no way you'd see an amazing sunset like this is a huge city. I like my small town, thank you.

You know, I'm not sure.

I don't know if you noticed, but I changed the name of the blog.

The name comes from a quote from William Shakespeare.

"Go to your bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know."

To tell you the truth, half the time, I'm not sure.

VBS

Today was the first day of Vacation Bible School.

I love helping out, but my head might explode before the week is done. Stupid little kid songs. :(

Oh. And guess what else happened today. I found out that a man I know found his son this morning after his son had commited suicide. Nice way to start the day, huh?

Funeral on Friday. Whoo.

Yesterday,

My birthday was absolutely perfect, from start to finish.

But my very favorite part was watching the sunset with Sam. I feel like I got a special sunset last night, it was just so flat out stunning.

The events that happened on my birthday.

-Read the new Sarah Dessen book until about 4 a.m.

-Woke up at 10.

-Sam came over at noon.

-Napped with Sam until 4.

-Went to Abuelo's at 5:30.

-Went to Best Buy to pick out my camera (Black Nikon CoolPix)

-Went to the Marble Slab for Icecream.

-Had a duck sit calmly at my feet, hoping for part of my cone.

-Went home.

Yeah. My birthday was amazing.

:)

I had an amazing time in Greensburg. It was a blast.

Every minute I was working, I was so happy to be doing it. I had seen and heard about all the volunteers there, and I'm so happy I got to be part of rebuilding such an amazing place.

Everyone that lives there was so nice, and they made me feel at home. :)

This is part of my Youth Group. And in the center is Tiny. He pretty much watched us all week, and he is one of the nicest people I have ever met.

I'll have to post again later, after I get ahold of Janay's pictures so I can show you the Kansas City group that was there. (Janay is amazing. :D)

Anywho, I had a great time. And I got to see the Big Well, who knew Kansas had 8 wonders? :)

And the Art Museum was small, but AMAZING.

The Fourth of July was amazing. This was Clarice's first year, and she freaked out at first, and then ended up falling asleep before we finished. It just shows you that you can have a little peace almost anywhere.

Anywho, I leave for Greensburg in an hour or so. I'm really excited because I actually get to do something good for other people. It'll be good for me to get away for a little while too. :) I've been stressing the summer book project, and it'll be nice to be able to work on it somewhere other than my house.

I'll be back on Friday, I'll post and tell you all about it then.

Have a good week.

8:40am

It's July 2nd, and still summer.
So why was I awake to watch the sunrise today?

Reason 1: Bad dreams like to push me out of sleep early.
Reason 2: My mother made me get up to get one of the kittens from underneath her car.

Speaking of the kittens, they're only 2-3weeks old. So, they're at the age where they try to hiss at you and its just a tiny little sound that you just kind of laugh at. :) This is why this part of the summer is my favorite. :)

P.S.

I really don't have anything to talk about.

Except my cats.

My life is a bore.
