Mom's Weekend

Thanks for all the prayers. Man, my mood has improved tremendously!
This weekend was Mom's Weekend here at the beautiful University of Illinois. The moms started pouring in last night. Oh man, was it hilarious! The streets were packed with these crazy people driving (who obviously weren't used to driving on this campus) The sidewalks were packed with moms dressed up with their sons and daughters heading to the bars. Some of the things these moms were wearing... forty five year old Britney Spears... Walking by Joe's, the place was completely packed with mother/daughter duos. The sign outside read "Welcome Moms- 6$ Pitchers of Coors Light!" I can't even imagine going out with my mom like that! Can you? Maybe some of you did... that sounds crazy to me!

First Entry

My first every entry... Hmm... maybe this will become like a new journal for me. I will certainly be surprised if anyone reads it. You know, who could really write anything too personal in something like this? I am not as witty as my dear friend, Amy, who cracks me up in her hilarious blogs. She's always telling stories of these strange things happening to her. Hmm... maybe I will become wittier... is that a word? Anyway, we'll see how this goes. I'm not very good at keeping up with these things. However, if you read this, I want you to say to me, "I like fish bowls." That way I will know that you read my entry and I will feel loved.
Lately I've been getting very easily frustrated over silly little things that are completely out of my control. I am hoping that this will be therapeutic. I think it already is... End of semester is upon us, and stress levels are rising. The last few days I've seen less and less of Kyle. I think that's the largest frustration. He is therapeutic. When I don't get to see him as often as I would like, I get cranky. Maybe I shouldn't be that way... I don't really know. I do know that this will pass as soon as my schedule opens up a little more. In the mean time, I will be praying for patience and understanding.
