I really enjoyed writing my little "letter" to Greta yesterday so I decided to make it a series.
I will now describe another great friendship that has enriched my life. I won't mention her by name since she doesn't blog. Although she lurks on this blog quite often so I think she should start one herself. I mean, she has nothing else going on in her life...
I digress.
This special someone came into my life during my first year as a music major at Samford. A fellow performer/singer we had a few academic connections but little else to link us together. EXCEPT for a certain propensity for....umm....zaniness. Basically she is crazy with a capital C and I love every bit of it. During the next few years she kept me constantly entertained in study sessions, rehearsals, classes with a frightening teacher we called "the remlin", double dates, etc. Through all of this we developed a close and even sisterly bond. Having seen A. through some very tough situations, I can now say I respect and admire her more than I ever have before. Watching her come out on the other side of a situation that could have had terrible effects with her spirit intact is inspirational to me. She is a humble, persevering example of God's grace at work and I am SO GLAD I have been able to see it play out in her life.
So here's to you Canadian Rebel! May your bulletin boards of endless information continue to serve you well in all your future endeavors. I can't wait to see you soon!
My apologies to any readers who are a little confused by this post. It's basically for only one or two people to understand.

A Public Letter to G.
Since I started this blog mainly to keep in touch with 1-3 people and I have done a spectacularly poor job of keeping in touch with those friends lately, I thought I would take a moment to blog about how much I miss my friend Greta.
She is one of the few people who seem to understand my weird quirks and not be daunted by them. She is one of the best listeners I know and is not afraid to let you know if she disagrees with something. But the way she disagrees is so lacking in any kind of offensive attitude that it is totally disarming and it helps you to really consider her point of view. Those are a few of the reasons that our friendship is so unique.
When we moved to Atlanta, leaving behind such a loyal and caring friend was one of the hardest parts. Since we've lived here some external things have changed (she is now a mommy!) but overall, our friendship has not. I just hate that we see each other so little and I hate how although B'ham and Atl are not that far apart, we hardly get any face time. I guess we can't avoid sometimes having to move away from friends that you love, but I just wanted to "publicly" say (cause who knows who the heck will end up reading this!) that I miss you G and I wish I got to see ya more!!

Ok, ok!
SORRY that I have been a little neglectful of this poor blog. I had a humbling experience recently through which I learned that if I'm going to post something, I better make sure I don't mind who reads it (or set the whole blog to private). Since then I have been a little wary....not to mention busy AND un-inspired. But enough complaints.
Apparently there is a breakout of the flu here in Atlanta. This is not good, and I have to admit I'm a little worried since neither D or I get flu shots and he is sitting next to me at this very moment coughing and sniffling. I guess we'll wait and see.
I think it's probably pretty obvious since I'm musing on the (supposed) Atlanta Flu Epidemic, that I am fairly low on material. [Thinking and waiting for something to come to me.....]
I have ants in one kitchen cabinet. How weird is that? They are not even in the cabinets with the food. And they are really only on one shelf. There is no sugar or food anywhere near it. Such a nuisance. I had to spray the shelf with black flag and all the contents are all over the counter. Sounds like a good reason not to cook dinner.
mmm leftover lentil curry.
Poor Dustin.
