"all forward motion counts."

what a beautiful weekend--that's why i'm counting its entirety as #39.

the lovely rachel & rachel from OBU coming to fayetteville for the purpose of being my friend. white queso from la huerta. designing life plans (especially 12 scenario options). photographs. power of prayer. movie marathon-in' it. (i'm on #9 for the three days). arsaga's coffee. the most important meal of the day at rick's bakery. posing in fun winter hats at uncle sam's. lovin' my current neighbor and my sophomore neighbor. sleeping through alarms and not remembering doing so. sitting in the backyard with a chair, blanket, and homework. soup and crackers. new heights college service. a to-the-core message about love and reflecting His to others. praying for those who are the hardest to love. precious phi lamb ladies.

just some things i picked up from elizabethtown (i really enjoyed it, go watch it):

1. "you wanna be really great? then have the courage to fail big and stick around. make them wonder why you're still smiling."
2. "sadness is easier because it's surrender. i say make time to dance alone with one hand waving free."
3. "it takes time to be funny. it takes time to extract joy from life."
4. "all forward motion counts." quest in self-discovery.
   
5. "i don't know a lot about everything, but i do know a lot about the part of everything that i know, which is people."
6. "those who risk, win."
   
7. would someone make a detailed road map (music, destinations, pictures, everything) for me? presh.
