...starts in exactly 6 days, 9 hours and 33 minutes.
For those of you that do read these things (or did, before summer struck and all writing ceased), my blog has actually moved - had to, since I switched e-mail addresses. You'll notice the address is the same (otherwise, how would you have found me??), but entries prior to February 2007 and all the wonderful comments have gone missing... but rest assured! They can all be found, intact, at THIS address: http://kay12687.blogspot.com. Like I said, had blogging not been suddenly so inconvenient after my main gmail address changed, I would rather have just stuck with one blog, but there you have it. Anyway! Enough about that.
This summer has definitely been an interesting one (and there are still 6 action-packed days left)! I moved back home the day after my last final exam, and got to spend a month and half being a [PRESENT] part of the Baker household in Nebraska (not that I'm not always a part, but for a while we didn't have to span such a vast distance). My Nebraska stay was only partly spent at home, however, as I traveled to weddings in both Minnesota and Iowa & did so much driving I was suprised I still even wanted a car when I was done... HA!  Just kidding. :) Patty, the '99 2-door Honda Civic with fog lights, a moon roof & a green exterior, is the newest addition to the Baker automobile collection & has accompanied me to MN (and how gratefulI am!). Thanks to Patty - and my mom & dad & grandparents who helped adopt her into the family! - I was able to get a part-time job at a fabric store here in the Cities, as well as take a break from said job to head back to Nebraska for a weekend with my friend Mike in tow (photo at left). Mike & I are both involved in The Encounter, a Chi Alpha group at the U of M - he's a piano performance major (I know!!) with an ornery streak & a heart for kingdom things. If you haven't met him yet, you will... anyway. Needless to say, we share more than enough common ground to fill the 13 hours of driving it takes to make a round-trip visit to Home Sweet Home.
You might also notice in the above picture that I am extremely NOT tan. I'm beginning to realize that I've definitely taken all those hours of sunlight from running, yardwork & band camp for granted. I rest easy, however, in the knowledge that I may be a little less wrinkly when I get older, and that winter will soon be upon us, and by then, most people will be as pasty white as I am anyway (except for the ones who pay to stay bronze or who, for some reason, brave the cold daily to get the extra dose of sun exposure from being perched on top of glinting snowdrifts).
There is, of course, a lot more to tell than that, and were I to divulge it all here & now, (a) I would not get any sleep, and (b) you'd probably get more sleep than you were intending - I'd venture to guess that reading such an immense block of text would put anyone to sleep, no matter how witty my anecdotes or juicy the content. Still, the details will come, & it's my hope that I'll eventually get them all out of my brain and into this wonderfully mesmerizing virtual space known as the world wide web.
...Speaking of which, I designed a website last Thursday (& yes, all but the final tweaks WERE done in one sitting... not a good idea... even web designers need to eat...). You can check it out here: http://cjxa.org/encounter, and hey, while you're there, say a prayer for The Encounter. We're getting ready for kick-off, and it's gonna be awesome, but it's gonna be taxing!
It's good to be here again. :)
