i'm going to go back there someday

This article by young Timmy Johnson is, in my opinion, a much-needed perspective on the generalizations and negativity visited upon children by their parents and other adults.

Adults Have Misclassified Me As A Handful

In other news, Emma and I went to Westland this weekend to visit the family, and a fun time was had by all. Also, I went to IKEA for the first time while I was there. I never understood the hype until I actually went and experienced it for myself. It's a magical world of home merchandise, and there are dozens of rooms to explore, like a walk-in catalog, complete with Swedish books

Late Sunday night / Monday morning, I arrived home to find a note on my door telling me that we only had the housing the college was providing until the 5th. So, I suppose this is my last week of work,

And I couldn't be happier
Simply couldn't be happier
Well - not "simply"
Cause getting your dreams
It's strange, but it seems
A little - well - complicated
There's a kind of a sort of cost
There's a couple of things get lost
There are bridges you cross
You didn't know you crossed
Until you've crossed
And if that joy, that thrill
Doesn't thrill you like you think it will

Anyways, love each other unselfishly, and be kind to all the animals. Especially bears.

I read the article and completely agree. Never again will I call Adam Coury, Aaron Amaya, or Seth Thompson a handful. I fully plan on apologizing to all of them.

I will miss you a whole lot Andy, but I know this is something that God is telling you to do with your life and "I couldn't be happier" for you. Take care and keep in contact!!
