On Life Recently

Sunday service was really good I thought. I enjoy when Mike teaches; I think he gives a very scholarly feel that I enjoy now and then to mix things up a bit. Anyway He taught about thanksgiving and what it means to live a thankful life and how to do that. I really liked his metaphor of the clothing making machine and weaving the thread of thankfulness into our every day lives. Gave me a new prospective. So I'm thankful for this past Sunday's lesson, and I'm thankful for Mike's scholarly presence.

Also, recording Christmas cds is a pain! Technology has been Trevor and I's biggest problem. Freezing computers, or the program doesn't work. Then after we spend time figuring out that mess we set upon tackling another song. Each song takes around an hour to do. It's quite the ordeal!

I turned 18 last tuesday, and really haven't done anything 18ish yet. I did register to vote, but that's about the only 18 thing worth doing. For my birthday I got the 1st level of the Rosetta Stone Italian Language Learner. (Since I'm going to Italy for 22 days this July) It's pretty darn sweet! I would recomend it to anyone for any language! I've learned more in a week then I ever did in 2 years of spanish at school! It's quick, easy, and even kinda fun. It's like one of those educational video games! I'm really enjoying it. Maybe Ill get the 2nd level for Christmas! I'm gonna be fluent in Italian before I ever step foot on Italy's soil! ....Well Im not sure about that, but I'm really excited about the trip.
