It's so nice to have you back where you belong, Erik.

I've been gone for two weeks visiting family in Colorado, but now I'm home and I miss it. I miss the weather, the mountains, the good feelings, and most of all the people I left there. It's much dryer in Denver, I feel like I'm choking on the air here...

I received a warm reception from a sentimental seminary class this morning. Haha, thanks guys, it was fun! And yet, here I am, sitting at this dumb computer where I have so stupidly put half of my life's work into. It's not a great computer, it's just that I rely on it for school, the online youth group which I spend so much time one, and my blog which takes a while to write. Not to mention I enjoy a video game from time to time. Now I realize I hate it. I don't want to be chained to my computer for life; I consider this a lesson learned that will be invaluable in the future.

I'm so happy to be reunited with my family here. You should have seen my dog, she was leaping 10 ft. in the air when I walked in! She's such a darling. Well, it's back to the grind for me...
