MY RULES

iF you want to marry me, here's what you'll have to do:

You must learn how to make a perfect chicken-dumpling stew.

And you must sew my holey socks,

and soothe my troubled mind,

and develop the knack for scratching my back,

and keep my shoes spotlessly shined.

And while i rest you must rake up the leaves,

and when it is hailing and snowing

you must shovel the walk...and be still when i talk,

and--hey--where are you going?

-silverstein

heh. i understand this.

for, i too, am MUCH to picky.

easter means

and those mean ...

happiness to me.

Today something came in the mail for me.

It was a letter i had purposly written to myself at camp so that i could read in the future.

this was just one year ago:

dear andrea:

So, I'm writing to you in the past as you read this? It's weird to think about. But ok. So Institute has not been the best of experiences considering my care groups consists of 6 jocks and 2 girls. It stinks: it was like I got one shot on a care group and this is what i got to work with. I think I'm a great leader - I just wish i was appreciated. So I guess that leads me into my goals/ hopes for myself in the future.

By the time I'm reading this i want to be on YCT for Institute. I want the chance to experience what it's like to lead a community of youth. By the time i read this i'd like to have become more confident in myself. I've got to stop comparing myself to E.Slice [ emily carr ] and other charasmatic people. I can't be jealous of them. GOD MADE ME WHO I AM. And i am perfect in his eyes. I forget that a lot. By the time i read this i want to know what college I'm going to>> or should already know! I want to have a plan for my life. I want God to be apart of that plan. I want to look into that U2 Methodist Missions because right now it feels so right. For once God has warmed my heart about my thoughts for the future. I want to experience it. So Andrea of the future, GET TO IT! You have the info, so why are you waiting?

Let's see. I'd also love to be going to Guatemala. I don't want to skip this experience.

I want to let other people step up in our youth group and foster our newer members. Have you heard from Jason S, Bob F, Amanda B, Kailey, Robbie, Shea or Becca? Call them. Ask them how they are.

I want to still have straight A's.

I want to be completely over this boy. I want to have made peace with him, accepted that he is who he is.

How's Emily C? Emily S? Have you called Andria Nelson in a while? They are the best friends you could ever ask for, never forget them, forgive them, stay in contact. God gave you amazing friends. (thanks God)

How's your faith? DON'T DOUBT. God is amazing.

Call libby! She loves you. You love her. She's your beautiful sister. Don't forget her.

Be patient with mom. Play along with Dad. Call Erin and Bailey - they look up to you. Work hard. Grades aren't everything. Grace and peace.

Ps. love yourself.

PPs email Nicole and thank her for making you do this.

---------

I just cried.

I don't care if you read all that.

But what i discovered about myself, and how much i've grown - and everything i've wanted to be just changed me a little. I wish everyone could share this recconciliation.

I just want to mention, that the people that we once were have a lot more wisdom than what we may think we have now.

So...... hey.... God?

Remember me?

I'm sorry,

it's been sooo long...

what a goof. i woke up and hour early and got ready, rushing around and everything. i have learned that i can get around in 20 minutes if i ever to have to. so maybe i'll start sleeping in more and caring less about what i wear.

so and hour early eh? you ask why that brings me to xanga. I am here for no reason other than to promote this sick holiday valentines day. singles awareness day to some and to others a lovely holiday in which free candy remains the highlight. i cannot pretend not to care because i do. i care about a lot of people. and even if you've long since removed me from your mind, don't talk to me anymore that doesn't change that fact. and so...

i love you libby cramer.

i love you emily carr.

i love you emiy soetaert.

i love you chelsea wofford.
