Christmas was awesome
So can I just tell you that Christmas was the best? The only problem was that is was not long enough. I would have loved to have some more quality time with the fam. I really liked Frederick (where my bro lives in Maryland). Going there and being with my family just awakened that dream of living close to them.so my cousin timmy is like 17 or so years old. i cant remember exactly. a couple months ago he started having spells where he would smell something burning then pass out. a couple weeks ago they finally diagnosed that he had a tumor in his brain. it could have been 1 of 3 things; the worst being cancer and the best just a tumor that they could remove. needless to say this Christmas season has not been the easiest for him and his family and all of us. anyway he had surgery to have it removed yesterday. the doctors told him that most of the time when they see it they can predict whether it is cancer or not. they said not (that is not conclusive though) and they are pretty sure they got all of it and he has all of his brain and motor functions still. I just want to say "praise the Lord"
I have decided that i need to do something more rewarding with my life. by rewarding i mean that i need to do something to help other people. i think that i live a very selfish lifestyle. ideally that would start with a job that had a bit more meaning than this one that i have. my sister and i were discussing yesterday the tendency of christians to not seek out a call. i dont think that i have done that in a long time. i think that i was scared of what God would call me to do (i.e. not work at Paramount anymore). i dont think that i can go on living so selfishly though. i am going to look for a new job but i think more importantly i need to look for someplace to volunteer. someone once asked mother theresa how to improve their failing relationship with God. She told them to be in service. there is so much to be learned from being physically part of something..from getting your hands dirty.

i think that you should move to Maryland. What's keeping you in Illinois? You and Joel can do the same thing in MD that you are doing now, and you can go to an East Coast school, and you will be happier.
just an opinion
love you
Remember when we were talking to my mom about her friends from high school and how they lost touch. Remember how we said that wouldn't happen to us. I don't know you anymore and you seem ok with it. Are you?
