It was just like the sun, but more like the moon...

Yesterday was good. I got to hang out with Makensie after small group for a bit, so that was nice. I like Makensie. She's awesome.

Today I have to give Little Ben a guitar lesson. I don't know what I'm going to teach him though. So it'll be interesting. I kind of never know what I'm going to teach him until I get there and see what he's gotten better at. So I'm sure it'll be fine, but I always kind of feel like I should have some sort of plan or something. *shrug* Oh well.

Lighthouse liked the food we made them last night. I got lots of compliments on my cooking, which was funny, because I generally don't cook and when I do I'm not very good at it. Lately I've been better though. I think I just need to pay more attention.

No one woke up for morning family devotions except me. That's not normal.

I really need to get to school.

...It's not that I keep hanging on, I'm never letting go...

Emily and I got to hang out today. I had a lot of fun. We had a couple good conversations and played Gabe and Wendy's Wii, which I'd never played, and had a blast. I am almost a boxing pro. *wins*

I have a horrid cold that sort of sprung up all of a sudden over the last two or three days. It's nasty.

Anberlin still rocks like your mom.

I need to go read Jonah now.

...I want to break every clock, the hands of time could never move again...

Yesterday Hans and I had a brief conversation about the future and how much things change as time goes on. So, I've been thinking about it a little bit. What does the future hold? Is there any way to really know? Is planning your future around circumstances that could change really even worth it? Do I want to go to college? If not, what am I going to do? Am I going to get married right away? Where will I live? Will I stay home? What will the relationships I have now look like in a year? In five years? How much will things change before I graduate?

Yeah. I have no idea.

No school today. No school yesterday. Tomorrow I'm going to see my friends' band play at a coffeeshop in Ames. I'm excited. I just emailed Jason because I haven't talked to him in forever. No one is online. Taylor and Hans are both out of town. I'm kind of tired but I don't feel like going to sleep. I want to get a nice notebook. A pretty one. I should do that sometime. This is a long, weird paragraph.

Sincerely,
Mara
