laughing. giggling. smiling. talking to little kids. oh, and hugs. Hanging out with my family. I like meeting people. the funny guys at my movie store. the sound of trains in the distance, the goofy posters of celebrities at the public library. the guy who looks like einstein that meanders around downtown. used book stores. true friends. young people and investing in their futures, or at least hallucinating that i am. being able to buy other people lunch, or coffee. rediscovering an old tune that i love. i try not to plan my future in detail anymore so i can really trust god with all that jazz, but i still love to daydream about whatever he has up his sleeve. if god has a sleeve. community, building community with random people. worship. clouds are still amazing to me most every day you can find me gawking outside with a dopey grin on my face. accents. traveling, the farther the better. hearing from old friends. trying new things as long as i don't end up in jail. becoming more confident. watching others become more confident. avacados. dark chocolate. not together. foreign cuisine, little hole in the wall restaurants and bars. dancing and singing, maybe even at the same time. writing. caffeine. anything outside. baking healthy stuff and tricking people into eating it. growing up or at least thinking i might try it someday. praying. knowing that people pray for me. ice skating. fishing, boating, running and pretending i'm rocky every time i run around the neighborhood. seeing potential in suprising places. driving. colored leaves. my couch and my new fuzzy chocolate blanket. fireplaces. beaches,the beach in my backyard. hats. live shows, jumping on big trampolines. the first snowfall. lots of color. kitchens. knowing that life has been wonderful and it has just begun.
everyone. I reeeaaally like people.

My dad and stepmom for loving all us kids and patiently rebuilding our family. Families who have selflessly welcomed me into their homes and lives and love me where I'm at- Frangipanes, Browns, Irwins and Pastor John - where would I be without you?
