this one goes out to lindsay.

because she is the only one who reads this, evidently.
well, i've had some adventures recently, which have been great. they involved driving east, awkward conversations, interesting donoughts, police activity, and mysterious youth groups at midnight.

now, i'm off to an even bigger adventure: i am going to los angeles for a week with the abundant life youth group. i haven't been a youth leader in about 3 years. we'll see how i do.
right now i am trying to muster up enthusiasm for the 3 bands that will be playing at the conference we are going to:
superchick. jeremy camp. hawk nelson.

i don't know if i can do it. but i have to try, because i remember what highschool was like. christian pop punk got me through a lot, man. the last thing i want to do is crush the spirit of these kids, and so i need some genuine enthusiasm for the giant marketing ploy that is contemporary christian music.

scratch that cynical last paragraph. i am excited to hang out with both my sisters, to be surrounded by people with boundless energy and enthusiasm, and i am excited to be an example of what it looks like to love jesus at age 22.

22? has it really been 9 years since i first fell in love with mxpx? i feel pretty old right now.
