I Have Thought

long and hard about why I love redheads so much. I think it's because they are rare. I have an affinity for rare beauty; redheads are rare and so beautiful to me. No one will ever change my mind.


Happy Birthday Greg.

International Traveler

Minus the 'inter,' but National Traveler just sounded weird.

In the past two weeks I went to three places I'd never been: Manassas, Virginia; Jackson Hole and the Grand Canyon. Virginia was great except I couldn't find my way around and I can find my way around the entire state of Utah so that was a huge hit to my pride. But it was a lovely state with lots of trees and slow, considerate drivers.

I went to Jackson Hole with Nat and the kids. I loved having some quality time with those rascals because I feel like I never see them. I drew about 800 helicopters, spiders, kites, and fishies for him on the magnadoodle over the many hours in the car. Poor Nat even had to put up with me while I was being cranky with the two children. It was like she had 3 kids for a day. Sorry Nat, but thanks again for taking me. I love the place and I loved watching her brother in the Lotoja race.

On Sunday I woke up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and went to sleep in a hotel with Mom on the Utah/Arizona border. We went to the Grand Canyon on Monday and Mom told me stories about working there as a kid and about she and dad meeting and getting married in a whirlwind. I absolutely loved every minute of the weekend.

What a travelog right? Sorry for the bore-fest. My one message: I love my family so much. It's sad to be separated from them. I'm so grateful that the best is yet to come.

P.S. I got a job in Manassas, Virginia so I'll have to start updating this more for my official fan club.

P.P.S. I love Matt
