loved this quote

we are standing at the meeting of two eternities: the vast past and future. we can't possibly live in either of those two eternities...but by trying to do so we can wreck both our bodies and our minds. so live from now until bedtime. 'anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall,' wrote robert lewis stevenson, 'anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. and this is all life really means.'"

found it here

we're thinking about moving to Atlanta Georgia so Ryan can go to this Rad Ad School. Trying to take it one day at a time- but Im freaking excited to live in the SOUTH!

Dude, that's awesome about the possibility of going to "Hotlanta." Say hello to Lil' John and the East-side Boyz!

Man, I've got hip-hop on the brain lately, haven't I? Weird.

Anyway, we're psyched for you guys. I just GoogleMapped it... 11 hours, 12 minutes. Not too bad. And after that, who knows? Flee to the Cleve, anyone?

that is a great quote. I love the thinking of just doing your best until bedtime. it's just one day! we can do anything for one day, right? I will try to adopt that way of thinking. thanks for the talks today & especially yesterday.

I guess I'll have to resign myself to the probability that you guys are moving. If not to Chicago then Atlanta or someplace else. If that's the case, then I'm excited for you guys. The school looks like it offers some great training ops. I hope Ryan will find the right school for him...in Colorado. ;-)

So, I'm thinking your other friends are much better, nicer people than I am. Because everyone's so nice, like, you know, "good luck," and "psyched" for you...and all I keep thinking is, What the %$#!@ about me? And Darron, what? 'I'm excited for you guys?' He just called me to tell me to look at this blog, and he said, "You better start thinking about another counselor." Pretty much I almost threw up. Seriously, a little bit.

Yeah, I guess there's nothing I can do about it if you guys actually move, but I can sabotage you all the way there. But I do truly want you guys to be happy and successful...sigh. I just might throw a little tantrum about it once in awhile.

...And remind me to tell you about my boyfriend in college who was from Georgia and called me "Tiger". He wrestled alligators in his peach orchard. Yeah, that's right - ALLIGATORS. Just thought you should know.

I bet Ryan is excited about the Braves too.
I wish I could get the nerve to move out of this crap hole of a town. Can't leave my sisters though.
Good luck, I would LOVE to spend some time in the South.

Wouldn't your girls make THE best southern belles? Whenever we throw around the moving idea my go to spot is Georgia. Don't know why; maybe cuz I like peaches or something? Anyhoo, that'd be great for you guys and I love your attitude about new adventures. And that some of your friends give you crap about moving . . .that means you inspire them as much as you do me! Good luck. Keep us posted, as in more blogs, THANKS!

yeah i'm pretty sure kristen's comment summed it up for me. you would make a GREAT southerner! so why don't we ALL move to texas and live happily ever after. let me know. there we can resume our yw presidency with some good ol' fashioned texan girls. and everyone can say y'all. so pretty much all i have to say is ... PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! that sounded desperate - i hope that lets you know how much i love you!
