I know I haven't posted but like my usual excuse I have nothing I want to write about.  But today I do.  So much has happened lately and is happening.  I found out last week a girl named Laurie from my high school passed away.  She had cancer.  She was one of the nicest people I met at Fossil Ridge.  I didn't know her very well but I did know she died helping people.  She was on a mission trip.  My heart goes out to her family and friends.  And although I barely knew this person, I cried for her.  And then when I prayed, I remembered Duane.  He is someone I think about almost every day.  I can't help but not to.  I'm reminded of him through different things and people.  The death of these young people reminds me we are all here for a reason.  Duane changed so many people's views on some many different things.  I hope in my life I can accomplish what he and Laurie did.  I am reminded through these experiences that life is too short to be selfish.  However, we are all guilty of it. 
I'm bogged down right now with finishing my online class, finishing up my internship and moving out.  I looking forward to being a student again at CSU.  I love being at school and being with my friends.  And I will really love that I don't have to be an RA. 
I'm really looking forward to my parents coming to visit in about a week.  It's amazing how comforting they are to me, especially with me being so independent.
Oh yeah.  I wanted to write something special to two of my friends I couldn't have made it through this summer without.  Dan and Amanda.  You guys are my life savers.  You two have been there for me anytime of the day, bought me countless dinners, made me countless dinners, offered your Internet services, got me a job, given me rides when my Jeep decided to take a vacation, given me shelter, and so many other things.  I owe you tons!  I just want you two to know how much I appreciate you guys.  I really care for you guys and am so happy I have you guys in my life!  Friends are the best!
Ok, I'm done being mushy.  Time to get to writing my paper.  Yep another paper.  How much does my life suck!  It's the freaking summer and I'm writing a paper?  The things I do...  Hope everyone is enjoying the last bits of summer cause I know I am.
