Because I want to remember

I'm writing this post mainly because I want to remember these things in life that I'm currently excited about.

I took last weekend off, mainly because I had a few plans and didn't want to try and work around those, and because I'm really burnt out from working. I genuinely like five people at work and the rest it's either a love/hate or dislike/dislike relationship. So really, this break was exactly what I needed. But anyway, onto my point, on Sunday I went tye=dying at the history museum, they have a 1968 exhibit going on right now and so every few weeks they have workshops and one of them was tye-dying, and my shirt turned out awesome!

Also on Sunday, we had a Mission Trip meeting, I think we've had a meeting before but I don't think I was able to attend that meeting. But mainly why I'm saying all this is because I really want to remember how I feel at this moment in time, it was a great meeting and I'm really excited for the trip! There are a lot of "youngin's" going on this one(meaning there are a lot of 14 yr olds going) But regardless I'm excited right now. I met this kid named Derek who is going and I think he's new to the church because I haven't seen him much before, but a lot of the kids that go to Anoka know him, and he was really nice. And honestly, I think he was the only "new" person I didn't know. Everyone else has been apart of the church for a while so I've gotten to know them/at least talked to them once or twice.

Another thing I'm excited about: tomorrow night I'm going to one of my best friend Troy's first state football game! I never paid much attention to Elk River sports because frankly, we kind of suck. The only good sport we have is Tennis, and sometimes Hockey. So when Anoka fb made it to into section finals I jumped at the chance to go watch Troy play, and then when they won and were going to state, well really how could I miss that? So I invited my sister, and my youth minister and hopefully tomorrow night will be a good time! And I know Troy is really excited that I'll be there. (read: I sent him a text telling him I'd be there and his response was Yes!! You're my favorite person ever:) yay!")

Thirdly(is that even a correct segway?) tonight I went to the Hennepin Tech open house, and I think out of everywhere I've toured on this second go at it, I like that place the most. It's so much more laid back than anywhere else I've toured. No one was trying to impress me with the school, it was more like a "here's what we have, if you don't like it well don't come" which is what I love. I don't need someone to impress me, I just need them to be themselves and if I like it, we'll be good friends/whatever I'm deciding on(like schools.) During this whole process I've really struggled with what I should do with life, because at one end I know I love photography and I think I would enjoy it as a profession and at the other end I think I would like Anthropology, but that is just an idea I really have no idea if I like it or not, but I feel like I shouldn't waste four years of my time/life/money to figure it out. So right now, I'm happy with my decision to follow photography and see where it gets me in life. It's amazing how at one point I never wanted to do photography as a profession and I just wanted to strictly keep it as a hobby, and now I can't really think of anything I'm good at besides photography.

Next, earlier this week(I believe the 8th) my most favorite teacher of all time turned 40. So happy birthday to that old fart.
And my best friend since the age of 4 turns 20 tomorrow, so Happy Birthday to my amazing best friend Jacob!


And lastly, on Tuesday night I was working the closing shift, and the sunset was absolutely beautiful so I took a picture enjoy:




The sky was full of so many beautiful pinks and oranges!



Also, I love late night writing.
