Well, today i officially started training again for a marathon or two. I know i have been talking about it for a while, a few weeks at least, but now i am official. So you will all have to keep asking me how the training is going so that i have someone to answer to and feel bad if i skip runs, eh? haha thanks..i need help until i can be motivating to myself...Anyway, Today my friends and I sat in the hot tub all night and talked about this and that, and started speculating about where we would be in a few years. It was interesting, and really fun to think about. But then i realized that specualting does no good because we cant control alot of what heppens to us, or when it happens, and so we cant worry about that. and the rest, we will have to decide what we want out of life and make it happen. I feel like if i really want something i can make it happen (or at least make an effort...). Like everyone kept saying- yeah, you'll be really outdoorsy and do fun stuff and travel alot and never stop going. You'll be the crazy one forever. And i thought, 'yeah news flash, i KNOW thats how i want to be and i plan on it." so theres no suprises there. I guess i just started thinking about life and realizing that I just have to figure out what i want and how i want to live and them leave the rest up to fate. and really, is there any other option? wow i am deep and shallow at the same time! haha! anyway this is starting to sound like a really rambly journal entry, but its late and you know how that gets...so we will change the subject!
I am getting REALLY excited about New Zealand the closer it gets!! AHHH I feel so unorganized though! i feel like i need to make one of my useless lists that i make so that i feel like i am accomplishing things, or at least then i know all i have to get done (whether i do them or not). I havent started packing yet, and i need to do some more shopping and getting together of things. I just realized that i leave omaha on monday. Life is all of a sudden moving on faster than i anticipated. Its going to speed up once i leave the big O and i have no idea when i will slow down and where i will end up!! KInd of fun but not at the same time! oh well, thats how life is eh? Oh and just ONE more thing- i cannot stop thinking about snowboarding. I am going out the Idaho and will be at targhee every day that week if anyone needs me. Hopefully some of you will be there (ie jo and sven) and other idahoans. anyhoo that is making me SO excited!! Well, i better go to bed, its 1 am and i need to do things tomorrow!! AHH!! sorry about the long blog everyone, but have a good day!!

mary, that thing about useless lists that make you feel like you're acomplishing something was funny. It's so true. I make lists like that all the time...well everytime I feel like I'm not acomplishing anything.
So...how's the training going? Anyhoo, I can't wait to see you next week! SNOWBOARDING YEAH!!!
well mare, I guess it's unanimous. You will in fact be dubbed "the crazy adventurer" for the rest of your life. I enjoy reading your "rambling journal entries" I think they are fun and interesting! The funniest thing I ever wrote was this paper about what I would be doing for the next 15 years-- and seeing what is accurate and what is not. I realized that I am who I am today, and I generally, I will remain the same. It's actually a good feeling. I am impressed with Marathon #2 and your dedication to the physically cruel sport. My dad and I have been debating on marathoning and trying to come to a conclusion-- I suppose the best thing to do is to do it, right? I'm enlisting you to get my burrito-butt back in shape post mission. MISS YOU! :)
