Matthew and I have purchased an original Nintendo.
We plan to relive the glory days with obscure video games that no one remembers. Has anyone heard of "Hudson's Adventure Island?" My mom got it for us when we were small, and everyone I mentioned it to thought I was lying because they'd never heard of it.
You can imagine my excitement when I found this game on ebay for a mere $2.00

I Think You Owe the Entire World...
A Great Big "Obamapology"
Did anyone watch SNL (the first new one in 3 months) and see the opening sketch? It pointed out a couple of good things:
1) Every loves Obama- somewhat blindly, too, considering the next point
2) What is his plan? Beyond hope and unity, of course, what does he plan to do again?
3) Hillary is not an experienced politician, she has experienced being married to a politician. In fact, she was so close to her husband and his politics during his presidency, that he cheated on her, and she rode the ensuing sympathy into the Senate.
Take that Democrats!
All comments welcome- especially opposing viewpoints.
Gotta love the jaded American politics!

My Epiphany
So here's something that I realized, and that I've been thinking about over the past few days...
Matthew and I have been watching a lot of National Geographic and Discovery channel publications lately, because the library has tons of them. It might sound kind of cliche, but we have been really discovering the beauty of God's creation. When we researched Thailand, we saw all kinds of beautiful beaches and the most gorgeous flowers ever!
Anyway, I was listening to that song by Ginny Owens, called "If You Want Me To." At one point, she sang " It may not be the way I would have chosen, when you lead me through a world that's not my home." Then I realized- this is it, folks- this Earth, so full of beauty and amazing things, isn't even our place!
We're going to spend eternity in heaven- this convinces me so much more, that I cannot even imagine how amazing heaven will be. Think of the most amazing thing about Earth or about the human body, etc that you've ever seen- and heaven will be SO much better!

Stand By Me
So, the reason for starting this blog is actually this story. I realized that I am full of funny stories and useless thoughts that I unload on people ALL the time. So now I'm just typing it.
Here's the story:
Last night, after group, I went to pick up Matthew from his rock band practice. They practice every Tuesday while we're having group. So I already knew it was Karaoke night because they try to force me to go to Karaoke every single Tuesday. This time, we went. How dramatic. I mean, you already knew I was going to go because what kind of story would begin with me skipping Karaoke?
So we walked up to the bar, like good, responsible citizens, and we started drinking and singing, and it was great. Eventually, the guys wanted to go out back, in the snow, and smoke their various cigarettes and other lung killers. While we were out there, we were all kind of standing in a circle talking, and I was kind of leaning over Matthew, who was sitting down, talking to him.
As I was leaning over, some random guy broke into this circle, and slapped my head! Matthew had him up against the side of the building in less than a second. I followed, yelling, to ask why he did that. I was so proud of Matthew! He totally stood up for me. But wait! There's more!
Both his bandmates, Barrett, Peyton, and Joe all stood up for me too! They didn't hurt him any more than Matthew already had by tossing him against a brick wall, but they made sure he was leaving. Later, Barrett said that he was right behind Matthew, holding himself back.
I thought the whole thing was great!
