long time no write
it's true i'm no longer worthy of the title 'blogger'. but i'll try in vain to make up for lost time. 
it's a fact that i had neglected my blogging duties before a variety of life-changing events occurred, however! the past, let's say 2 months, after endless hours of painting, packing, eating lots of chocolate, and even more taco bell my family moved 50 miles away to icannottelluwhere!
i'm supposed to be barely alive, refusing food because it gives no comfort, becoming a hermit, blinded by tears, losing all sense of good hygiene ....
but then God threw something in there, i actually like it here! imagine that.  and the fact that we have an in-ground pool and are 10 minutes from shopping heaven has nothing to do with it!  really..
so i'm still waiting to see what exactly it is that God planted my family here to do. but i've been making changes in my own life since we've been here.
that's the exciting thing about moving somewhere new. you have the ability to start over with experience you didn't have when you first started life. ya know all those embarrassing mishaps.... getting way too excited with the eyebrow plucker, thinking you were cool when really... yikes, bad hair cuts, fights that never should have happened, or being quiet when someone new came to church, saying something completely stupid and bizarre to someone ya liked making you look alien, all those chances to speak up and yet you didn't. the fact that i'm a firstborn doesn't help any.
and as long as i sat and moped about all the terrible and stupid mistakes i've made or worried about how someone perceives me, i came to realize that without all those experiences i wouldn't be where i am today. i would have to be perfect, and as awesome as that sounds what about learning and growing. all the laughs over a terrible clothing year or the chance to share your testimony possibly effecting someone's life.
so i kinda like the idea of being not so perfect, of spending a lifetime attempting to serve God and then spending eternal perfection later on. 
and before i go, i have a praise. some of you were aware of the abusive bathing conditions i was undergoing. picture a small, crude shower stall. dirt so thick my sister took to doodling aliens in it, an almost certainty that you would run into some other creature when attempting to shower, and the absolute need to wear flip-flops and if possible ... blinders. yes this torment has finally ended ... approximately 1 month after we anticipated. oh joy, oh rapture we have a normal shower. life can now resume.
