I went to Lagoon today with Aunt Mel and some of the best cousins in the world! We swam and rode the BEST and BIGGEST rides, some of which were entirely new to me! I couldn't believe how small the place seemed. It used to seem gigantic when I was smaller. My legs would get so tired walking around...maybe that was because my mom is a speed walker 24/7! Who knows. My all time favorite ride is the Flying Ace. I can't say why really, I just love it! It's not bumpy and not too frightening or jolting. It's just kind of laid back and the wind feels great. There were a few funny moments throughout the day: Number one would have to be Wil going to the bathroom and coming back with a wet spot on his shirt in just the right place....haha. He told us it was from the drinking fountain and turned pink. What a character! Ali squoze my hand SOOO tight during the Terroride I thought I might not get it back! It's funny because she led Wil and I to both of the "scary" rides although she couldn't stop telling us how much manicans (sp?) and zombies creeped her out. And Paige is Paige! She acts like she's one of my 22 year old friends! I love them all together-it's great to feel so comfortable around family. Mel also let me borrow this book she bought at the Fair called "I Like You" by Sandol Stoddard Warburg, illustrated by Jacqueline Chwast. I loved it! I wonder if you could get it online. The illustrations are so great! I feel inspired and want to copy every square inch of it. And just for the record: Nate should know that the very last page says, "I guess I don't know why I like you really.....Why do I like you....I guess I just like you......I guess I just like you......Because I like you"......but it wasn't so much the text that struck me as did the illustration! There's a picture of a boy tied up in a rope while there's a sweet looking girl spooning him some dessert!!! I laughed at that for quite some time!
Last week I was leaning toward art restoration as a career, but today, I think I changed my mind to illustration. Can I just say how confusing and crazy it is to be in this stage of my life? I've never felt it so much before. Does anyone have any advice about gaining some stability?

I have no advise, I just wanted to say I love Lagoon and I really love the Flying Aces too! Cute post!
Stability doesn't really exist in life. It's fine to have a plan, but plan on changing it frequently. I don't know too many people who can lock in on a path and actually stay on it their whole life. Opportunities and situations that you never would expect pop up and change the course of life in an instant. The thing that will bring most stability is family, and even that isn't a guarantee! No matter where you end up, or what you end up doing, it will be good. There's no single "right" career for anyone. You'll do great things no matter what you choose, or how many times you change direction! Just get a good husband to anchor you, and everything else will fall into place. (hint, hint)
