goodness

Today was a walk in the park.

More accurately, it was two walks in the parks. Matt and I saw a real live beaver and had a dammed good time.

little update

Today I went to the Chick-Fil-A Leadercast at IWU. I took tons of notes. It was inspiring. More on that later.

After the conference, I got to celebrate Kyla's upcoming wedding. Kyla's wonderful; it makes sense that Erick is sugary-sweet-in-love. Anne and I drove back and got some good laughs: We poked fun at rap music. We imitated Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Adele. We discussed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (when we got to the 5th amendment, we got tired and moved on to a lawn decor conversation).

After the party, I watched the final finale of The Office*. CRAZY! Another door closed on my "childhood."

*apparently the season finale hasn't happened yet. "Childhood" still on.

I'm going to take back everything I was GOING to write

Oh geez. Today is a beautiful day. Our house is exploding and my students hate math, but it's a beautiful day. 

I'm going to bike ride and play softball and watch movies and read books

and quote SNL to the roommates ("S'ciety, Seth! It's a TRAJESTY.")

and teach high school and teach Sunday school

and love

and be loved.

So everything's great. Life's my oyster. And today is my beautiful, beautiful day.

Because holidays are fun stuff

May the Fourth be with you.
