Castaway Bound!


Tomorrow's the big road trip to MN, 8 long hours in the car with the rents. After two long weeks of unpacking, cleaning, baseball games, more packing and even more baseball games, it's time to start the summer. I can't believe sophomore of college is done but I'm ready to keep going. I made a little slideshow of some pictures from sophomore year, here's the link http://www.picnik.com/show/id/8082876305_BTx34/t/picnik-show. The picture to the right is from the Cubs game we got to go to with Jake's team and the Cubs actually won (hah!). Time to go finish packing and cleaning and get some z's. Later!
p.s. I found this really awesome quote that's pretty inspiring.
'Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. it is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves: Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous or talented. Actually, who are you not ...to be. You are a child of God. You playing small doesn't serve t...he world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so others don't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some, but in all of us. And as we let our lights shine, we unconsciously ...give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear of excellence, our presence automatically liberates others and excellence becomes the standard of our lives.' -Nelson Mandela
