So these past few weeks have been interesting for me mainly because I've had people just over share about things. I think it all started with my Branch Presidents wife telling me how she was constipated for almost two days right before Sacrament meeting. Then my co-worker somehow finds the need to tell me very personal matters everyday.
I guess I have always considered myself a private person. I have always felt that people should be on a need to know basis. Maybe thats a little strange but that seems to work for me. My close friends pretty much know everything about me & they could really tell you some stories & I know everything about them. Having people over share things made me realize how much I miss my friends. I wish they could all live near & we could hang out & have tons of fun but we are all chasing our own dreams & living our lives where the Lord needs us to be.
Although I miss them tons I'm very excited when I get a call with an announcement of a new baby or engagement or just to catch-up. But having these random people tell me their crazy stories has also made me realize how much we all just want to be listened to and need that human connection. I'm all about texting, updating my status on facebook or writting on my blog but as much as I love technology I have to admit that it cuts out good old fashion communication.
I've been here in Seattle for almost 7 months (yikes already?) and the thing that I have enjoyed the most is being near my family. I feel like I have a sleepover with my sister-in-law everynight because we can be silly, vent, go shopping or have a girls night out and I get to hang out with one of the men I admire most, my brother. I know I have family & friends although scattered that love me and that makes life good.
Well thats it for me, we'll see what new crazy stories people have for me this upcomming week.
