Spring Break/Thankful/Miss you All

Yo peeps
Wohoo!! I booked my flight to see one of my oldest and dearest friends over Spring Break. SO PUMPED about it. My best guy friend in the world is going too, so that should be a blast. EEEP!! We're looking into skydiving, and for sure going to the Zoo there. Yay!! So lately, as I have been hearing about the crazy amounts of jobs being lost (Macy's just cut 7000 jobs...) and about the people in the economy who are severely suffering, I have felt an immense amount of gratitude for all of you close friends and for the blessings in my life I have been granted. Good friends, a roof over my head, a steady, flexible job, the gift of school (even though student loans are killin me...) food, and the ability to feed my appetite for adventure, and an abundance of other blessings all have made me thankful for everything. My heart hurts for the members of the small community affected by the DHL closeout in Ohio, and for the masses nationwide laid off by retail and small buisnesses. Hopefully our economy will get better with the exit of He Who Shall Not Be Named...

Finally, a giant WOHOO for all of the snow falling in the UK! I can just imagine how much fun it would be to sled anywhere in the village...(Sian...perhaps the hill I fell down numerous times...?). Rachel...your snowman was LOVELY. Kudos to you! Wish I was there hiding behind the flat and pelting you all with snowballs when you leave :) Nate put up a pic of flat 63 all snowy...I see the toilet paper rolls pasted onto the window have increased...

Miss you all SO much, and wish you were here

ps-Sooo, heads up peeps I'll probably be discontinuing this blog and making a private new one only a select few of you will know about because someone is really, really lurkin on this page (40 something times since the end of January...). If you are that person, please stop. This blog is for people who I can't be around while I am at school. Your IP address ends with 22, from the residence halls of the University of Iowa. I really don't want to have to change sites, as I have an established amount of friends out of state or overseas who have access to this site. I have a good idea of who ya are, so knock it off.
